I bought these pants to wear for work, and while the material in the fit is really great, the waist proportions are totally off and ruins the pants for me. I'm 5'9" and approximately 145 pounds and have always been a size 6, tall. Nearly all of my pants are this size whether it's Lululemon, Gap, Ol...d, Navy, banana republic, etc.. .I don't like high rise for trousers, so I chose these pants because they are listed as mid rise. The problem is that they come up too high, and taper in at the waist so that the circumference around the waist is actually smaller than it should be, and feels extremely restrictive around my midsection. It's to the point where by the end of the day I am so uncomfortable, I can't wait to take the pants off. I took a photo to compare these (left) against a pair of Old Navy mid rise pop icon skinny jeans (right). You can see there's at least 1-2" of rise difference. The jeans are significantly more comfortable and what I'd expect for mid rise. Please make these in a true mid rise, the material is so nice and these would be such a perfect pants for work.
