First I purchased these a few weeks ago. Nice looking heavy built jean. NOT SO! These are tapered leg which makes them fitt like skinny jeans!!! Tight at the knee, calf, and butt. These have lasted I think about 3 weeks which would equal about 3 or 4 washings. I noticed today that they are already tearing at the pocket. I am a slender guy with no butt so there should be no reason that these are tearing at the corner of the pocket from stress. They do fit a size smaller after you wash them so order a size larger in the waist! Especially since you can't return after you wash them! I would not recommend these jeans. I have 2 pair of them and I am glad I purchased the 3 other pairs in relaxed fit. They still fit a little tight around the waist after washing so I would suggest you get a size larger in those too.
