ahhh I wish these fit me, these are truly the most gorgeous jeans ever. I'm hoping to find them in a 29, the 28 was just a bit too small around my waist to be comfortable for me, but everything else fit perfectly. my loss your gain. They are like new lightly worn. the fabric is 100% cotton rigid denim, no stretch. I put these through the wash with some fabric softener so they feel slightly more broken in and soft now. they will break in more as you wear them and 'mold' to your shape like a pair of leather shoes. these are not fast fashion jeans, they're built to last. description from website: The Harper Jean from Imogene + Willie is high-rise with a tapered leg.
