I followed the advice of previous reviewers and ordered a size up from my normal size (I wear a 28 or 29 in most jeans, so I ordered the 30).  Even so, when I got these jeans, they were TINY!  They were at least--and I'm not by any means exaggerating here--FOUR SIZES SMALLER than the size they're marked for.  I couldn't even begin to zip them!  I'll be sending these right back.
