As a young guy, edging in on not being such a young guy anymore, I was looking for a slim fitting jean with a regular to "high" rise (Personally, I'm sick and tired of every fitted garment being low rise and having to pull my pants up off my butt every time i stand). Apparently Im the only person in North America looking for that though because the market is positively vacant. So when I saw these at a western store one day I thought they might be just the ticket, but they fall short in a few ways.

From the knee up these guys are pretty much ideal. Rise is nice and lengthy, if thats your thing, Waist fits snug and the upper thighs are fitted without being overly snug. From the knee down though they are like a different set of pants. Very baggy and oversized. I suppose thats what they mean by Cowboy Cut, as I understand these are meant to fit over boots (which I am currently wearing them with, and there is still ample material flapping around). If the fit of the calf and ankle could be brought more in line with the upper portion of the pants in more of a true slim fit style I would probably buy 20 pairs, but as is they are just kinda ok...
