I ordered these jeans after trying on and buying a pair in a store. I love the jeans I bought in the store, but these... Not so much. They are different somehow. The rise is shorter and they are tighter. I would not have bought them had they fit this way in the store. I read in other reviews customers complaining about inconsistent lengths and sizes. All I can add is that what they say is true. This is the first pair of pants I have EVER ordered on-line; I think I will stick to trying pants on in a real-life store before I buy them!
