Low Rise Straight Leg Jeans

OK, first the good: these fit well (sized up from 27 to 28, as recommended) and love the 100% cotton construction. A bit wider in the leg than a true straight leg – would think of it more as a relaxed straight leg. The biggest disappointment is that the inseam, although stated on both the jeans tag and the Nordstrom website as being 32 inches (tall fit) is actually 29.5 inches. A huge discrepancy. They hit me just at my ankle bone. The other disappointment is that the website states they are zip fly but they are button fly, unfortunately. Returning.

I typically wear 33 but it wasn't available, and since it was a loose fit I tried 32. For whatever reason their sizes are smaller than they should be. So a 32 is actually a 31 and a 33 is actually a 32 yada yada yada. Didn't come close to fitting and was extremely small in the hips. Also, there's no indication if you're buying regular or tall and apparently I got tall.
