New favorite jeans

I like that these are very dark black. For the past year or so the only jeans I've been wearing are Madwell's darted barrel leg and now these. These are a little straighter/less obviously curved than the barrel leg but still with some volume in the leg. I get the regular in these and talls in the barrel -- both end up ankle length on my 5'8" frame.

Sooo big!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I order these in a 24 instead of a 23 since the description says they run small, as did a number of the reviews. I'm swimming in them! I don't even think a 23 would fit. I have a 24 regular in a another style which I love. I'm really disappointed I was looking forward to these. I'm 5'2 but petite size is usually too short for me

Long and attract lint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These jeans are well made and the material is sturdy. I bought the regular and they were pretty long to the point I had to have them taken up. I’m 5’4 and don’t usually run into this problem. The shape is flattering . Main downfall is that they attract lint and dog hairs.

Comfy black pants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always need a comfy pair of black jeans that I can wear to work and wear out - and these are perfect. The right amount of wide leg bagginess and PERFECT stretch make it easy to wear all day. I purchased the standard wide leg pant in this same denim last fall, but they felt too short - these feel more normal.
