From everlane website: “Say goodbye to your belly button. Featuring our signature highest rise, the Rigid Way-High® Jean accentuates your true waist, gives you legs for days, and holds you in—in the best way possible. Plus, it’s made of premium organic cotton which gives it a heavier vintage feel that molds to your body over time. Designed with a non-stretch fabric. Try sizing up if you prefer more ease around the waist.” These jeans are too high waisted for me. I have a very short torso. They are 100% cotton and the 28 inch inseam. They are a nice straight leg and hit at the ankle (I’m 5’4).
