First of all, the description says "highwaist" but the product I received had "mid-rise" written into the label. That was unfortunate, as I was looking for a high waisted jean. ALSO, it was the same blend of cotton/elastine/whatever as another pair of 7 jeans I have (and love) but I find these to be much more rigid, less give. But they are flattering and the fit is nice. Very long -- at least on me there were too long. Nice wash, too.
