I'm traditionally a Levis classic fit, high-waist jeans lover. Lost weight. Needed new jeans. I tried the size 10 which really IS the size that I wear. They fit for about ten minutes and then stretched to the point of being just about too big. I'll keep them for when I need to wear an under layer in the cold weather. Then I ordered the size eight and they fit perfectly -- all day!

The good thing about this jean design is that as jeans go, they're a thinner material and therefore a lighter weight than what I'm accustomed to as a classic Levis wearer. That's nice. That makes them very comfortable.

But the light weight also allows the high waist to sort of roooollllll over on it's self as the day wears on. It doesn't push below my waist like one might imagine it would do on someone with a very large waist, but it curls up. Maybe it's me and my body type (could be), but to keep the waist band from rolling over, I have to wear a belt.

If you don't like belts, then ... but the price is good, the jeans are otherwise very comfortable. So I'd buy them again. Just need to get some more belts!
