I don't buy jeans very often because I don't usually like how they fit; seems easier to stick with the old ones that I have.  It's been about five years and I was desperate for a new pair of jeans so I thought I'd try these.  I LOVE them!  Soft yet sturdy fabric - very comfortable!  I normally wear a size 10 in jeans and while the waist is a little bigger than I'd like, I can put a belt on and everything should be terrific.  Just the perfect amount of stretch!  I'm pear shaped and these jeans hold me in just right!  Love them!
