Jeans have evolved a lot over the years, at least in terms of colors, fit, material and certainly pricing.  I was looking for a pair of functional, good quality jeans for casual wear, and have never been able to justify paying exorbitant prices for `designer' labels, pre-washed, stone-washed or any other variation on jeans that enable makers to charge premium prices (often getting mediocre or less quality in the bargain).  I was also trying to find a pair that fit well without alterations, and had that classic, medium blue color associated with vintage Wranglers or other makes from earlier years.  The particular color is called `pepperstone'.

I took a chance ordering this particular jean based upon overall favorable reviews as well as the way the item was depicted on Amazon's product page.  I ordered a pair in my somewhat hard-to-find size (32" x 29").  They arrived within two days via my Amazon Prime membership, and from the moment I put them on, I was satisfied.  They fit perfectly, have that nice medium-blue, traditional `blue jean' look and feel, and seem to be made of a good quality fabric.  After wearing them for a while, I decided that with such an attractive price and quick shipping (at no added cost as a Prime member), I ordered a second pair of the same item. I would have ordered several pair in different colors, but only certain colors and sizes were Prime eligible (something I am not sure I understand, but whatever).  Nonetheless, these jeans are quite nice; they do not fit either too snugly or too loosely (`they're just right'), look good and represent a good value for the dollar.
