these are great, comfy jeans. I am 5'8" tall and 160 lbs and 48 years old, so I don't want my jeans to hug my hips making a muffin top or to show my butt crack when I bend over. These are high waisted enough, but not so high that they look like "mom jeans". I would have given them 5 stars, but they a sewn weird at the top of the right front pocket causing a little pucker. It might just be a flaw in this pair and I will probably exchange them for another, but over all great jeans at a great price!
