I have been looking for a pair of grey jeans and came across these Zara jeans. They are trendier/edgier than I tend to wear; most of my bottoms are plain straight-leg denim. I was wondering if anyone had experience with Zara jeans and their longevity (stretching, thickness of material, hold up after washing, etc.)? Would the zippers (non-functional) create care problems?

Bonus: All the leather pants posts made me think of these motto pants from Free People.
