I bought 2 pairs of these jeans.  The first in one size smaller than I normally wear.  They were fine but I felt I could go one size even smaller, so I bought a second pair 2 sizes smaller than I normally wear.  Those fit perfectly!  I absolutely love them.  They are the most comfortable jeans I have worn in a long time.  They come up higher in the waist which for me, is way more comfortable than jeans that look cool but slide down your butt when you bend over.  I never tuck in my my shirts, tops, etc. so I can hide the fact that they come up so high.  I am really picky as far as how they look too.  I don't want my jeans to look dorky or like "mom jeans" and they don't.  They are worth the price, honestly!
