I bought these for my wife, based on the sizing chart I chose the 29. Unfortunately, when they arrived they were too tight to get buttoned. It was surprising since they are the same size as another pair of Joe's ordered at the same time. They also have almost no stretch.Other than being a bit too small, they are everything you expect from Joe's, great cut to the jeans, comfortable fabric, and they do great things for your butt. Happy with the jeans, just order a size up.
