i was worried about them getting loose like some other reviewers mentioned, but i haven't noticed any unusual looseness besides what usually occurs when you wear jeans a few wears before washing. i'm glad i got the tall, they look perfect with my trusty timberlands. awesome material. by the way, i am 5'8", 138 pounds, if that helps anyone searching for what jeans to purchase. great bargain for some sturdy jeans, in my opinion.
