Finally found the perfect jeans! I tried on about 10 pairs of Joe's Jeans and this pair has the best cut and stretch. Love the mid rise as it is more flattering and comfortable for a curvy figure. The fabric of what passes as denim these days varies a great deal. I find most of them too be either too thin or too much spandex at the loss of comfort. This pair has the perfect denim weight with the right amount of stretch. The jeans actually feel soft on the skin on the inside which is a hard thing to find even in expensive pairs. The rinse is also the right amount without looking overly 'destroyed' with weird washed out lines. I am not crazy about the frayed edges on the ankles and for ankle length they are still a bit long for a 5'4". I will be hemming them up. But at least after searching high and low for the perfect pair of denim, I have found it! Please don't discontinue this model. Would have love another pair or two in black and other rinses.
