good quality, odd waist panels and seams
Very high waist and thick waist band. Fabric is thick, good quality. Good bootcut shape overall and a bit bulky around the waist.

fit is really off
These are too long but I like the flare. The waist did not fit at all. No stretch. And I’m a true 12. They were way too high waisted to be that tight. Returning these for sure.

Fit is weird. And the top hem is extra rigid so there is no flexibility ended up returning.

Fit is Off
I agree with the other reviewers, this fit is different from my other pairs. I’m a size 8 in all my W&W jeans, but on this particular one the waist is much tighter than my other high waisted ones. Fits perfectly in hips and legs, but length is a little long and needs a hem for my 5’4” frame.
