I own about 8 pairs of Hudson jeans.  I used to shop at other designer high end jean stores, and started to become disappointed in the quality.  I then tried Hudson Jeans.  They are a little more expensive, but I have to say, they are very consistent with quality and fit.  Each one comes looking fabulously made and the fit is always as expected.  These are my favorite as far as coloring.  They look more trendy with the wiskering and fading.  The coloring of the stiching is unique.  I wouldn't consider these an extremely dressy jean color, but very fun just the same.  For a more fashionable look to your wardrobe.  The fading gives an illusion that makes me looker thinner which is always a plus too.  The fabric is soft and the jeans hold their shape.  They do stretch out ever so slightly, but not enough to be annoying or a problem with the fit.  Overall, I am really happy with this purchase!!!
