I liked all these jeans fit but the waist was too small my waist is a size 25 and these were a size 24 so the waste was definitely too tight the lower part of the jeans was just a tiny bit snug but not too not too bad not enough to return it but the waist was unfortunately too tight. I would go a size up and see if that works for you. I know that they don't have a size 25 which is inconvenient and unfortunate and would be a big help to the customers who are a size 25. However, if you are looking for pants that fit the 26 would probably suit you better.
