Just chiming in to say that my gstar jeans did loosen up a bit with wearing - so much so I eventually got the smaller size too - so I'd try to wear the second pair around the house to see if they don't already start loosening (too much) and you'd better size down.

The Noxers look great! I think the size (except for waist) looks perfect. I’d be tempted to keep and alter.

The first pair has a lot of potential in a smaller size. Super cute!

Thanks Aussies and Kiwis!
@Liesbeth - Yes, the stretch factor in the leg is my main concern. Sometimes the legs bag out, and I wouldn't want that. *Are your pants mostly cotton*? This particular pair is stretchy and seems to keep its shape well but I haven’t done a major test yet.

I'm VERY excited to see the smaller sizes in the Lintells
