I'm very pleased with these trouser-style jeans. They provide ample room in the calf area, but still look trim. The fabric is extremely soft and lightweight -- perfect for the warm months (and in Southern California that's practically all year these days). The color is as shown. And like all NYDJ jeans, these are well constructed. The only drawback is that the fabric stains very easily. If you're in the habit of knocking around in your jeans, not worrying about a little dirt because hardly anything shows, you'll have to modify your behavior when wearing these jeans. They require more care.
