I really like the fit of these Jeans.  I have never been able to wear Lees Jeans in the past due to my long waist line.  I hesitated to buy these Jeans because I felt they were pricey and my past experience with this brand wasn't good.  I am thrilled I gave it a try because working for ten hours straight in Jeans can be very uncomfortable on my stomach area.  The elastic gives me much needed comfort and its just right for hiding the style with an untucked top.  I am certainly buying more in the near future even at the pricey expense for the great comfort they provide.  They are not just for short-waisted women as in the past.
