These are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn, hands down. FIts true to size and denim is nice and sturdy. I wish they would make a version just like these without the flaps on the pockets. Either way, I will be buying more of these comfort waist jeans. One warning- they are not very long so I can't put mine in the dryer. We will see how the knees hold up with air drying only. I am 5'8", size 16.
