These original fit jeans come stiff and have not been washed. Wash them yourself in hot water, inside out, and line dry them . Wear them and after another couple washes they will shrink to your body just like they were made to. I wear 36-inch inseam on these jeans, which is about what I wear on other kinds of pants. They fit over boots. I wear them so they don't drag on the ground when I am walking around. Get them a couple inches longer for riding. If you are skinny they make a slim version. They are great and durable, and the price is right.
