Matchstick jean in classic rinse

I used own a pair of the original matchstick style jeans and I loved them, literally to death. I wore them until the seams split. When you brought them back I was thrilled - until I bought a pair. They have way too much elasticity to them. I don't want a pair of leggings, I want jeans that fit my body type, just like my original pair.

I no longer know where to turn for jeans. For years (maybe even more than a decade), I could count on Matchstick jeans for a relaxed fit, timeless cut, minimal stretch, and a classic wash. The Matchstick accommodated my legs rather than sculpting or suffocating them with stretch. I kept buying these jeans even though with each pair the holes in the crotch appeared sooner (4 years, 2 years, 1 1/2 years). They were denim that would break in with wear - so actual denim, not stretch pants. But I returned my latest bulk purchase. Beware: the Matchstick jeans are now sausage casing for your legs. The online description fails to mention they have gone from 1% stretch to 3%, and it feels like more. As others have posted, the Matchstick are jeggings. Please bring back denim.

I love the Matchstick jeans, however, it's never easy purchasing jeans without trying them on. (Please make them available in stores again.) Thanks to the customers' reviews, I made the decision to size down. I wear size 25 in Ecru, but I have to go down to size 24 in this pair. I wore them for the first time yesterday; they look very good on with a very slight stretch after a few of hours. Again, I truly appreciate other customers' reviews.
