I wanted a pair of comfortable jeans I could wear on weekends.  I am 5'9" and 140 lbs, and wear anywhere from a 6-10 in pants.  With Levi's I always need to order larger, so based on the reviews I ordered a 10.  Fit great out of the box (and out of the dryer) but by the end of the day on wear one they had loosened so much I can pull them off without unfastening.  By far the stretchiest denim I've ever had.  I won't order again - I wanted relaxed and ended up with sloppy.  Oh well, great camping/gardening pants, just not what I was going for.
