***Update on March 2, 2012*** I just ordered 2 more pairs of these pants. So far, I have purchased 4 pairs total. Two thumbs up on these pants!!

I am soooooooo happy with these pants. The quality is good! The fit is absolutely perfect for my long and lean son. I have looked everywhere to find jeans like these with straight legs and nice looking pockets, they are well made, and they are long enough for his height. If you have a child with a lean build these are the best fitting pants. I am buying more of these. No more suffering at the department stores and spending a fortune on pants that pale by comparison. Wooooooooo hoooooooooo!!

And for a word regarding sizing comparison, my son has the build (body) of a size 8 pant but needs the length of a size 10. This creates a dilemma when purchasing typical sizing in pants. Thus, the size 10 in these jeans works for his lean build and accommodates for his height. Hope this information helps others when shopping for pants.
