This is a very thin cut. Too thin for my 11 years. He usually wears a size 12 on Levi's and they are pretty tight - he can barely close them. It reminds me of all those skinny wash jeans that men wore in the 80's! Haha! I do like the sink though. It's fairly light, but the quality of the jeans remains high. Have to wait for the younger brother to grow up inside them to use them.
