I love the jeans, ans was nervous on the size. The blue is not as light as pictured, and it is true to medium aged dark.Sizing compared to other brands a little confusing. I am 5.7 and according to my scale 135 lbs. I am usually wear a 25-26 depending on brand, but have gained ten pounds, so was nervous. The models on the G Star site wear a size 27, and I bought the 26 due to sale price for the size. The jeans are snug, but comfortable. I can tell the stretch is good. I have a size 27 Collin Hudson, because I though my 25 and 26 were really snug. The 27 leaves plenty of breathing room. I had bought a size 27 on another site for a slander blue Lynn G Star, but they are taking some time to arrive. These were shipped Prime, so I received them quickly!
