Light weight denim jeans are a win her in the US south
"Love the light weight of these jeans, and since I'm fairly tall and have difficulty finding jeans long enough, the length works well for me. I ordered a size 28 and they fit well at the hips, but the waist is a tad too large. I thought about exchanging for size 26, but I'm unsure if the hips might then be too snug. At any rate, a belt will probably solve the waist issue. We'll see."
