nice construction, but not true to size.  Fit is at least two sizes too small as compared with jeans purchased from Lands End, who are not known to run big in fitted jeans.  I am very disappointed, as I was looking forward to these since they were a style cut jus to the waist, and not below like so many other styles.l

Update two months later...still desperate for a pair of jeans, based on another review I tried again and ordered two sizes larger.  The jeans fit with a little extra room pre wash, and I expect that they will shrink/stretch like most jeans do after washing.  I am glad to know that I have not exploded this far in size, at least have a comfortable mid weight pair of jeans to wear.  You buy by what fits and not by size.  But if only the fit could be standardized.  As more clothing has gone from the USA to Asia for manufacture, sizing has changed.  I have found this with clothing from Land's End, LL Bean, and Coldwater Creek.  I have recently started buying from J Jill...hoping that their quality will stay up.  It's getting harder, I may have to go back to sewing my own.
