Reposhing this item. Loved it, but my sizes changed. This is a size 27 Curvy- I normally wear a 30 inch waist but the salesperson in the store suggested I get a curvy cut to combat gapping at the waist with higher rise jeans. She was right! The hips fit my body better with the curvy style. The denim is great quality and comfortable while also heavier than most jeans on the market. The actual pants (pictured in non-model photos) are more gray than black. This item has been washed. It is in excellent condition.
