I have a smallish waist paired with thicker bottom and thighs. Usually finding jeans that are comfortable around my legs and don't gap at the waist is impossible, but Levi's really got these right. These fit my waist just right. No gap, no muffin top. I also have slightly thick calves and these fit like a glove below the knee with just a little room in the ankle.

So far I've tucked these into some roomy boots, worn with flats and heels, and on a really cold day I even wore a pair of fleece tights underneath. Perfect all-around.

The indigo wash is easy to dress up or down. It's not a uniform color, there are random darker and lighter spots, but the overall effect works for me. As far as care goes, I was concerned about color bleeding and fading. I wash inside out with other dark denims and line dry, then toss in the dryer for a few minutes to soften the fabric. For stretchy denims, I feel that minimal time in the dryer keeps the integrity of the fabric for longer.
