"I almost hate to post this review, for sheer fear of these jeans selling out before I can grab up another pair, but here goes: Follow the tip to size up one size, and you will fall in love the moment you try them on. They sit low, flatter the rear in spite of their roomy fit, and roll up nicely. They're soft, too. And the distressing is GORGEOUS - although I may actually install patches behind the rips and tears just to make sure they don't spread too much. Wait, does that make me sound old? :p"
