These are the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned. I found my first pair in Florida while visiting my dad. The sales clerk told me I should purchase the size 2 but I bought the size 4 instead. Turns out she was right, after I had them on a while & they stretched, I definitely should have taken the size 2. So my adivse is to buy one size smaller than you usually take. Since then I have bought 3 other pairs off Amazon at a much better price than in a store.
