I am new to Carhartt, and this was my first pair of their jeans. I just ordered a second pair, a size down, because I think they run just a bit big. I've washed my first pair several times, and the fit is great whether just washed, or worn and stretched out a bit. They're my new favorite jeans. You can't beat the price. I have jeans that cost 2, 3, even 4 times the price, that I don't like nearly as much. Definitely worth five stars.
