I am 5'1" and muscular with a small waist, a substantial caboose, and huge quads (26" waist, 37" hips, 23" thighs). I'm also a working woman. I shoe horses for a living and I refuse to wear stretch jeans. 100% cotton is essential because cotton/elastane blends hold onto moisture like nobody's business, and having sweaty fabric clinging to my thighs in weird places when I work in summer heat is no bueno. On top of that, anything that tapers at the ankle allows dirt and hoof trimmings to get into my shoes, so my requirements are: 100% cotton, boot/straight cut, small waist, loose in thighs. You can imagine how hard it is for me to find the perfect jeans. Every pair of Carhartts and Wranglers that exists has a ginormous gap in the back of my waist, no matter how much their products descriptions say they "won't gap". Several years ago I discovered the perfect 100% cotton jeans for my build: the Levi's Premium Dad Jeans (NOT the newer and ridiculously impractical Baggy Dad version). But of course, not long after I discovered them... Levi's stopped making them. I spent some time buying every used pair in my size from eBay until they finally wore out and I was forced to spend another two years unsuccessfully looking for the perfect pair of jeans. Finally, Levi's introduced these puppies, and they are truly flawless, even better than the Premium Dad because they crotch isn't cut as high and they don't ride up in the booty. They sit against my body perfectly, not too snug and not too loose, fitted enough to stay in place but relaxed enough to be comfortable during an athletic job with lots of bending and stretching. They are true to size even though Levi's size gauge on this review page is glitching and won't let me select "true to size" for some reason. The material is sturdy and tends to last about 8 months of hard physical work before I get holes in the inner thighs, which I think is pretty impressive by modern standards, especially for jeans that are more geared toward fashion than manual labor. I've already stocked up in case Levi's decides to drop this perfect, attractive, functional style in exchange for a style that's totally absurd but briefly trendy. But hear me, Levi's Customer Support team: if you ever stop making this style I swear to the Almighty I will never buy a pair of Levi's again and will only buy Wrangler's, that don't even fit properly, purely out of spite. 🙂

We were looking for a smart casual Jean, a slighter looser fit. Perfect with new loafers and prepping for going back to University!

Really comfortable jeans with a perfect mid/high rise. The wash is great to dress up or down. I'm quite petite so had them tailored to an ankle grazer length which looks great.

Alles super - Hosen von Levi’s passen immer und machen den perfekten Po

Very comfortable pair of jeans. No stretch but they do get a little loose once you’ve worn them for a few days. I’m 5’5 and the 30 in length was perfect. I bought size 27 im140 and these are perfect. I would recommend them.
