Lee Women's Legendary Regular Fit Straight Leg Jean 12 Rinse

I wear between an 8 and a 10, and always wind up ordering a 10, hence they are a little loose. I am also 5'0", so even a short is too long. Sigh. I am sure these would fit regular people perfectly. I do have an older pair that is finally getting too threadbare to wear, but they are about 3 years old. I work with horses, and do all the associated chores, so my jeans really take a beating. Lee's hold up!

I have been ordering these jeans for like 10 years - I work on a farm and the flex is so comfortable. Also, I like that the waistband is not super small ("waspy") compared to the hips and legs. the last year or so there has been a slight change - the waistband is a tiny bit taller and lined with something firmer, and the rise is also slightly higher. I really like both changes, I find them way more flattering and less likely to keep "scooching down" so that I have to hike them up throughout the day (the big drawback of jeans with stretch). I'm not sure if its related, but the "lee" label on the waistband is also much smaller now on this new design.
