So I am the average Levi's guy that occasionally buys jeans from Express, GAP or ON. When I was offered these I was a little bit reluctant as I had never seen this Jackson brand. From prior experiences with Amazon exclusive products I decided to go ahead and order them.

The first thing I noted upon receiving these, is that while the picture in the Amazon product description page shows a dark solid black pair, the pair I received looks pre-washed and the color is not as dark as shown, that is not necessarily a bad thing but something worth mentioning. Quality is great, and the denim, while thin, looks resistant. The ones I ordered were a 34 and the length should be about 32. They fit well, but as other reviewers have pointed out, the waist feels larger than your average 34W jeans, nothing a belt cannot help resolve and in the end, they do feel comfortable, which is what really matters.

The pockets are made of a soft fabric and they are smaller than the average Levi's pocket. I noticed this immediately as I do not have a case for my iPhone 4 and always carry it on the left front pocket of my pants, that is normally not a problem but when I sat wearing these the phone on the pocket was quite uncomfortable as there is not enough room for it.

If I had to give someone a reference on the quality and design of these I guess they would come close to the X2 from Express. The price point looks ok for the quality you receive.  Buy with confidence... these are great!
