Wanted to love these but the pair I received had a dye error around waistband. Small but still noticeable, so back they went. Otherwise did like them. I have been looking for a grey jean and love stripes, so this looked so promising. But have to say of all the Carve items I have tried recently (as a new shopper) they all seem to be missing the stretch that I am used to in other brands. I think fit is important and we all can be different sizes over time. Having clothing that can stretch with you, is great for everyone, including the planet! So hope Carve will include some stretch in their bottoms, pants and shorts. Style-wise these looked cool, but sadly did not work for me. Better close up photos would be nice, or at least making sure the item you get matches what is shown. I think the dye lots are variable.

Compared to the non-high rise version, the sizing is so off on these. The non-high rise are still basically too big for me, and on the advice of other commenters that these size smaller, I got the same size but they aren't even close to fitting. I'm 5'6", 160, and the size 8 non-high rise are too big, the 8 high-rise are nowhere near buttonable. I'm probably actually 6 non-high rise; 12 high rise? So hard to tell. . . .
