I got super lucky with these jeans. I bought two identical pair at the same time. BOTH fit as expected. They are cut slimmer in the hips and thighs and that was exactly what I was looking for in a pair of jeans. Plus, they don't stretch out much and wash n dry well.Since I purchased these, I have been purchasing more of NYDJ but most of what I order has to go back because of the irregular fit. Once in a while I'll order a pair that fit like these do and I consider myself lucky!I don't think NYDJ has a high enough standard for uniformity in their cuts.I can't give these a 5 star because of the hassle involved trying to get a "good" pair..I bought the green twill in size 10, same brand, same style and they were a little big but very comfortable so I thought I keep for fatter days. Bought the white in an 8 and they are perfect but the 8 in the blue were to small? Well I love the style so much I sent them back and got a 10. These pants don't bind in the waist but fit good in the butt. As the years go by my shape has changed but I hate a baggy butt. The length is good too, especially since I wash pants in hot. At 5'7" I can lose an inch in length when they shrink which is about an inch. These pants are perfect for me even with the inconsistent sizing.I love the cut of these jeans and the quality is good. A bit pricey but they are worth it. I like the way they sit on the waist. Only problem is the sizing. I ordered an 8 and they are too big especially around the waist. I hoped they would shrink in a hot dryer but as yet they haven't. I wish I had returned them for a smaller size. I'm now going to order the 6.Nice color, flattering, comfortable; I really like them. As soon as I tried on the first pair I knew I wanted more, so I ordered another pair just like these the same day. Laundering instructions say to air dry, & they are soft & comfortable & not stiff as air dried jeans often are. I have used the clothes dryer once or twice, & they did well. Just guessing, because they instructions do not say, but they will probably wear out a little sooner if dried in the clothes dryer on a regular basis. Be sure to order one size smaller than you normally wear in jeans.These are the BEST MADE JEANS I have found. Every pair I have bought from NYDJ have fit like they were made for me and these are perfect too! I wanted a pair of jeans that looked lived in and were comfortable and I hit the Jack Pot with these. And they are so comfortable I feel like I'm wearing my yoga pants and the length is perfect too.... and at 5'9" that is saying something, and who wants highwater pants anyway? Once you go NYDJ you won't go back!These jeans run large, in my opinion. I returned because even though I sized down from my usual size in most clothes, they were still too big. The rise on these jeans is also pretty high -- but I think that is the attraction for some folks.I like the jeans. But as usual they are too damn long! I have 5 pairs that need hemming. I will not buy any more...at least until these are hemmed..I love my jeans but with my long legs I wish the NYDJ had a choice of length as well, 31" is not long enough for a person as tall as I am.
