These Jeans are the oddest fitting jeans I've ever encountered. I ordered size 9 as they are junior sizes (because I'm usually a 6-8 in womens). When I first tried them on they were pretty tight (and required a few hard tugs) but not uncomfortably tight. By the end of the day the jeans loosen up so much they were falling off of me. I love these jeans so much but can't wear them because they become too loose after only a few hours. I've never experienced this with any jeans before. While writing the review I looked at the jean description and noticed that they are 99% cotton which is why these jeans don't hold their size. Jeans usually have a small percentage of spandex in them which allows them to stretch and remain tight to the body. Unfortunately once these jeans begin to stretch throughout the day there is no elasticity to keep them tight to the legs. If these jeans didn't stretch so much, they would be one of my favorite pairs of jeans hands down. I'm 5'7 and about 145lbs and they are long on me. I can only wear them with 2"+ heels.
