Love the cut and fit of these jeans - I'm 5'3" and slightly curvy, so majority of high priced luxury jeans don't flatter my shape as hoped. I do need to hem it about 4 inches, but still fit is flattering, as expected with Levi's brand. I have washed these jeans twice already and no bleeding, fading nor shrinkage has happened. The stretch on these is slight, well enough for me and returns to it's original shape, which is surprising comparing to other stretchy denim that seems to feel too loose after 5 hours. Material is not overly thick nor bulky. I believe that these jeans will be durable and have minimal fading over time, as long as the care instructions are followed.
