I am a Levi's 512 kind of girl so was hesitant to try these.  Would they give me muffin top?  Would the rise be too low?  Would they FIT?  I shouldn't have been concerned because they are great.  The corduroy is very fine and super soft.  There is a nice amount of stretch and the pants do not get saggy after wearing all day.  They are a true black so nice and dark.  They have a great length.  I loved them so much I went and bought another color!
