These are my fave jeans

I am 280lbs and 5’8. Usually fit a 20-22 and per the review I went up a size and got the 22 and they fit perfectly. There is no stretch and I feel that the pant leg comes mid calf. I washed them prior to wearing and they didn’t feel tighter. I did allow them to air dry to make sure. I don’t feel that you absolutely NEED these jeans but I do feel that they are a good everyday can wear out anywhere type of jean. If that’s something your looking for the. You can’t go wrong with these. Just remember size up one size.
