I am a thick built woman with a short inseam so I always have trouble finding jeans of any style that fit me properly. These are dang near perfect! Very comfortable, have some stretch to them, and while they are a bit long on me, they aren't SO long that I can't wear them without hemming. I may do that eventually but for now, they are fine to wear as is. I may also get some hip armor later on but I'm happy with the kevlar lining. Really happy with them! Probably have to get a second pair as soon as I can afford to!
