Me: 5'7" 140 lbs, 28.5 waist, 41" hips, VERY long waisted. I own the raw denim version of these jeans in a 28 and 27 (28 is form fitting but with a bit of space, and the 27s are snug everywhere) For these jeans the reviews said to size up, so I went from my usual 28 to a 29 and I regret it. When I first put these on they felt perfect, not crazy tight, but not at all too big. After wearing these for an hour or 2 they had loosened up considerably especially in the waist, and by evening they were straight up too big, and not in a cute way. Because the rise is so high on these, once they start to sag then the whole vibe is off, and the crotch is too long, which makes the belly poof out on me , and I ended up with probably like 5 inches of extra fabric in the waist. Important note: the denim on these is VERY THIN. Like chambray shirt thin. These are not going to stand up to wear and tear at all. And when you look inside to see how the "patches" are sewn in, none of the edges are finished. It's just one single row of stitching and then fraying chambray as the only thing holding these giant patches in place (that on these jeans are integral to the structural stability of you actually wearing pants). So yeah, they are kind of cute, but I can't imagine how to actually buy the right size that looks good when you put them on AND still looks good at the end of the day. I definitely would not pay full price for these. My opinion is that you fork over the big bucks and get the raw denim 701s because those are worth it. Those are real denim, sewn with proper attention to detail, and will look better every time you wear them. Skip these. And Levi's: Try a little harder to be more consistent with your quality, you are blowing it with some of these styles.
