I bought several pair of the Levi's "skinny jeans" over ten years ago. Allegedly they stopped making them. Now they're back.
The material, without a doubt, has changed over the years, but this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the seller.
Even back then, with the skinny AND boot cut low rise Levi's, the material AND fit was different. For example, I bought five pair of the low rise boot cut. I tried on every single pair, and every single pair fit a little different. I.E., length, waist, etc. The young girls working there couldn't believe it either.
So, point being, if you "buy in bulk", don't be surprised if not all fit the same.
As for the "closet swap", I like them better than the two pair of darker denim [Levi's skinny] I got. For whatever reason, the closet swap, unlike the darker denim, has a snug fit all the way to the ankle... NOT binding, and they won't bunch up at the knee when sitting, etc., (**I'm an over the road trucker, and sit for long periods of time**)which makes them perfect for tucking into boots ~ especially a mid-calf or taller boot.
The one and only thing I don't like, and certainly this is personal preference, is the button flap rear pocket. I have leather seats int the rig, so they tend to get caught. What did I do? Simply cut off the flap and removed the stud. But THAT is up to you.
CONS: none really PROS: 100%
Happy Shopping ladies!
**OH, P.S.** I'm 5'7" and 120'ish pounds. I always get the Jr's size 5 Long...always true to size and fit, with the longer length.
