Noa High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans

Im new to this brand so crossed my fingers when ordering. The style as depicted in the picture is what I wanted, a relaxed ankle pant with at least some tapering. As soon as I opened the package my reaction was simply “OH NO :( ”. The denim is stiff and heavy, and the length hit me just at the top of my shoe. I don’t care for the white stitching and that the legs are wider than expected, with zero tapering. I have straight leg jeans and I think these would be more accurately described as being styled like a stove pipe. Very disappointed and I’ll be making the drive to return.
