I have never purchased jeans on-line before much less a pair I've never had before. It was a nice surprise when these jeans fit me like a glove, very much as pictured. The stretch makes them very comfortable and now I finally have a great pair of jeans to stick into all my cute boots. Well made, good color, Levi's quality. I just took my measurements and that's as hard as this purchase was. The rise is perfect because I was never a fan of the low-cut variety; they always feel like they're falling off. Amazon has everything.
