These jeans just arrived, and we're trying to salvage the purchase by tossing them into the washing machine (hot cycle). My son is 9, and is too tall to wear size 8 jeans and too slender to wear almost all size 10s. We hoped, after reading all the reviews, that these jeans really were SLIM FIT, but they are HUGE around my son's thighs and waist. They are slender around the calves, though.

They're too big around the waist even to wear with a belt. My son is beautifully slender, not a skinny waif. It's frustrating not to be able to buy jeans online that fit him without having to buy jeans with elastic bands with buttons that leave uncomfortable marks on his waist.

Buyer beware: I think these are 10R, as they're labeled, and not Slim jeans in the traditional sense. They're cute. Wish they fit him.
