I really like the black color, until they fade they look like more formal than they are.  When they fade too much to wear to work, they ar perfect for around the house.  You can wear anything with the black.

This time and the last time I bought them, the waist size seems off - like they put a bigger waist on them than before.  Not a problem, they fit in the seat and I wear a belt anyway.  I prefer the fit from a decade ago.  I'm tempted to try a pair one inch smaller in the waist.

No defects in the material or sewing, an improvement over the last time around.

My size is impossible to get in stores, so it's nice that they fit.
If I could find this color in US made jeans, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
