You inspired me out of my sick bed to try on some jeans For clarity, I have two pairs of the Gap mid-rise sculpt skinnies in burgundy and olive, not traditional blue. Upon inspection, there is some extra fabric around the knees, more so for the pair I already wore once since washing. But the fit in the shin and calf is very snug. They are ankle length, but not skin tight at the bottom hem, which I actually prefer to balance out my figure just a touch and keep them on the pants side of jeggings. But I generally wear these under boots anyway, and they do work under riding boots without looking like I stuffed in straight pants.
My other favourites are the Mavi Alexa and I think the fit in the knee is slightly better. But I have to say if you can get the Gap sculpt jeans at 40%, the denim quality is like a mid-range brand similar to Mavi at a great price. Mine are in constant rotation this winter and I got them for $50 CA.
Looking at these photos which I will leave up briefly, they may be more pants-like than you want? This is my preference so I may be biased And I do see the bagging around the knee, but it doesn’t bother me IRL. I might just be used to it. I think my legs are also proportionately longer above the knees so I always wonder if my knees are in the right place of the pant
