I am 5'11" and weigh 150lbs. I have a very hard time finding jeans that fit for several reasons. First, my height (obviously). Second, I am not overweight but tend to carry ALL of my weight in my "saddlebag" area. Usually, anything other than low-rise jeans end up gaping in the back. Really badly. Like I could carry my purse back there with room to spare! I'm tired of low rise jeans because I don't want everyone knowing what color underwear I have on.

I actually bought these jeans on clearance at a local store and, I have to say, they are the best fitting jeans ever. They fit my curves but don't gape at the waist. They are the exact right size for my thighs. They have a little bit of stretch but don't end up falling off by the end of the day. The size 8L is the exact right length for me. If I buy pants with an inseam, I need 35", if that helps you with your decision. The waist isn't low but isn't too high either. It doesn't look like I'm wearing "80s jeans". They come up to about 2.5" below my navel but sort of curve up at the sides and around back. It looks really good.

I came here to see if they were available on Amazon and fully intend to buy a couple of pair. I get a lot of compliments on these jeans and they are Levis, so they look great dressed up or down. I've been wearing them a lot since I bought them and they still look great. I line dry my clothes because I am afraid of length shrinkage but I did accidentally end up putting them in the dryer once and they did not shrink.

I hope Levis never stops making these because I am in love with them!
