I buy lots of these jeans as I wear them for work and they have always been comfy, stretchy and great at lasting. The last thing couple of pairs of jeans are not as good as they use to be. I’ve had to size up since they changed the material and consequently they are usually on the big side around the waist. This pair are more uncomfortable and around the hips/waist area, with a feeling that something is digging in. Hopefully this feeling will go once they’ve been washed but honestly, I’m not overly impressed with the consistency of the product anymore.
