My last pair of Levis 529 had fit perfectly and it was time to replace them.  The cut of these jeans is superb - especially as the short sized actually fit my body and I am not trying to squeeze my body into a different cut of the same number size.  The biggest challenge is finding the short sizes - it pays to pay attention and make sure that the size includes "short".  The pocket detail is cute w/out looking like I was attacked by a bedazzler - a plus since I wear them in the office.  My only request to Levis would be to offer the short sized 529s in more of the denim colors.  Glad to find a good price on Amazon for this product!!
