I have a number of NYDJ jeans and pants, and I really like them.  They are comfortable and they STAY UP (no hiking up every 10 minutes)!!  These twill pants are no exception.  They look and feel great.  This particular style runs even bigger than other NYDJ jeans though.  I am not a super small gal (5'6" and 135 lbs), but I got a 2 in these and even it is slightly bigger than I would have liked.  I will likely put them through the dryer next time.  The length is good for me.  I wear a 4 in most NYDJ styles (bootcut jeans, capris, etc).  So, as long as you size way down (2 sizes from normal jeans, 1 size from NYDJ size), I think you will be very happy with these.  They can easily be dressed up or worn casually, so I think I will get a lot of use out of them.
