I wanted comfortable loose fitting straight leg Levi's jeans, I wanted them to have a wash that made sure other people thought I looked comfortable in my jeans. Nobody has even noticed I got new jeans because they are much like the comfortable looking, comfortable straight leg jeans I've owned for years. They seemed bigger than I though they should be, but it turns out I've just lost 15 pounds because I'm so active at my new job. Even still I'm not going to return them because they are just what I wanted and I'm attached now.
