Arrived with lightening speed.  I've worn NYDJs before, but this was my first pair of the original straight cut.  Liked them even better than the Marilyns I've gotten before.  These seem to be less tapered at the shoe, so they work nicely as almost a minnie-boot for over the tops of shoes or boots.  Just the right amount of stretch to keep them comfortable all day, with no stretching out at the knees even after ten hours.
