So, like all manufacturers as of late, quality and quality control has gone down significantly. You expect more from places like the Gap but I'm almost finding better quality and consistency at big box stores that people like to hate on. Companies want you to order based on size charts and even revi...ews…well, the problem is that you can't depend on them because the sizing is all over the place. So, I end up ordering multiple sizes in multiple colors and even then it doesn't always work because it's so bizarre and have had to return most of the items the last couple purchases. Not to mention that I am between a large and medium and need to try on to know due to cut. As for these pants, the deep brown and the navy were sized and designed differently. The Navy LP fit low rise and almost fit the same as the medium and both were cut much closer than rhe deep brown! The length was fine and I'm 5'5" with shorter legs. The deep brown LP had way more generous fit than the medium and was definitely mid rise/almost high rise. You couldn't compare the cut and fit across the pants. It's like the only thing in common was they were bootcut and had the same style material. So, if you order, order a bunch and just return if you have icon or higher status.
