These jeans are great in every way, which is why I gave them 5 stars. Let it be known, though, that I am disappointed (somewhat) that they aren't useful for the reason I originally bought them: They are really short for designer jeans.This will be good news for gals who like to wear flats with their prettiest jeans and great news for gals shorter than my 5'6". I am loving wearing them with flats and even athletic shoes, but I'm a high-heel boot wearer here in the Pacific Northwest, and the inseam on the Kimmie is far too short for that.I don't know what "red cast clean" means. The color is a very nice dark blue wash--nothing at all different from my other dark blue washed jeans.The fit is correct, and these are a good cut for a woman with flaring hips and a nice, round behind. They aren't a "juniors" fit--there is enough room to allow for a rounded behind, and there is enough lift to flatter that, as well. These are cute jeans!
