*** 1/23/13: I am providing an update to my review, to say that sadly, I'm going to knock my rating down to 3 stars. I bought these jeans in September, and after only 4 months of wear, I now have 2 lovely large holes on the insides of both legs in the thigh area. HUGELY disappointing! I wear jeans just about every day, and this eventually happens to all of them. But it usually takes at least a year! Four months is pretty pathetic. I have jeans from Old Navy that lasted longer! Oddly enough though, I have another pair in this same style that is the very dark indigo color that I purchased maybe a month later, and those are perfectly fine (the material seems a little better quality). Sad since I mostly like the style and fit!***

I really love these jeans, and bought them based on the good reviews - very glad I did! My only complaint is the that the waist is too big, with the front rise being a little higher than I prefer (but these are the woes of being pear-shaped! only custom pants resolve the waist gap for me). Otherwise the amount of stretch feels just right - I own many pairs of 98% cotton/2% spandex jeans that are way stretchier, but these jeans are fitted, and give just enough to move with you, but not too much that they will be a size bigger by the end of the day! I have already worn them 3 or 4 times in a row and they have not lost their shape at all! The length is also amazing - I am 5'11" and they are even a little too long (but perfect w/a pair of 1.5"-2" heels). Overall these are definitely the most comfy jeans I own and the color is great for going out, wearing to the office, or casual hanging out. And you can't beat the price! I am only giving these jeans 4 stars because I haven't had them long enough to see how durable they are, but given that Dickies makes work clothes, I expect no less from their jeans.
