I bought my first pair of Riggs a few years ago when i had gained a lot of weight. I found the fit to be good and they would come up and not ride low, something overweight people don't need. They hold up very well and the pockets are big enough to get my large hands into. I would reccommend these jeans to anyone.
The only CON to them would be the hammer loop. if you use them for that purpose than never mind but I do not and it does tend to get caught on things from time to time.. But its something I am more than willing to deal with as the quality and long life of the product is excellent.
