There is a front yoke seam across the hip on these, and it does more than you would expect. It breaks up the front of the jean and draws the line upward, which is part of why the 11 inch rise reads so long and clean. The leg is wide but not dramatic, and the ankle length keeps the whole thing from feeling like too much. If you have been wanting to try a wide leg but have not been sure it would work on you, this is the one to start with.
Order your true denim size. With 98% cotton and only 2% spandex, these have structure rather than stretch, which is what makes the wide leg hang properly instead of going limp, but it also means they will not give the way a soft stretch jean does, so resist the urge to size down. The 11 inch rise is genuinely high and sits above the navel on most women, which is worth knowing if you usually wear a mid rise. The front yoke seam sits flat and does not add bulk across the hip. At a 29 inch inseam these hit right at the ankle around 5'6 and a touch above on a taller frame, so you can wear them with a boot or a flat without anything bunching.
