Glad I purchased a size down on these jeans... I usually wear a size 6 but when I tried them on at an outdoor retail store, they were too big so I tried the next size down, size 4, and they fit a bit snug and wasn't sure what size to purchase when I was at the outdoor retail store..(also the price was a bit high)so I didn't purchase them at all.  With the weather getting colder, I decided to purchase them on Amazon and opt for the size 4 and I am so glad I did... they are so comfortable and have some stretch to them which will allow you to bend and do the outdoor work you need to get done without feeling stiff. Super cozy jeans!
