They were snug at first but they stretch so as I kept wearing them, they started fitting better and now they are perfect.  That's like most stretch jeans, in my opinion.  I like them.  The holes are kind of high but I wasn't insecure about them.  :-)

They fit better when they first arrived but over time they became looser around the ankle making my foot slide out at times.

They fit a little tight when I first got them, but eventually stretched out and are insanely comfortable

I have been ordering 501s for years in the exact same style and size and they seem to be getting skinnier and skinnier.  These were actually quite tight when I ordered them and had a much longer breaking in period than usual.  I suppose I might be gaining weight, but older pairs (again, in the exact same size) fit beautifully and I will occasionally wash them to shrink them back to size.  This pair is finally broken in enough to be more or less comfortable, though still a touch snug.  I will probably size up next time, though, and explore other fits.  I really like the color, quality, and the button fly, but these are practically full-on skinny jeans now, whereas they used to be a bit looser without being baggy.

I had them for a month or so, but just put them in a few days ago.  They fit perfectly.

The new furry lining makes these feel small at first, but I have had several pairs, and they always fit better after a few weeks of wear.

Perfect fit - glad to have these - needed changing BAD!

At first they are tight, but after wearing them they become less snug and more comfortable. Super warm and I love that

At first they were too small, but with wearing they seem to conform to your feet. Now they are quite comfortable. It takes about two weeks for them to conform.

They were a bit stiff at first but after they were broke in, they were exactly what I needed.

After a couple weeks, they become very comfortable.

Took a little getting used to, but now they work fine.

Took a moment to break them in, now they fit like slippers.

I bought these before (going off the general consensus of sizing up) they fit then, and they fit now.  However, there seems to have been some changes. (for the better). My previous pair was a little looser and still are but irritating enough the knee gussets were way wrong.  On a bicycle though it was a moot point.  Well they fit a little more snug now than a couple years ago, and the gussets are way better positioned. Snug but not tights!  If I would describe them,  they fit perfect like the Levi 550 perfect fit in the 90's.  I don't have city fixie thighs,  I have road bicycle thighs. I can not wear skinny jeans. These have ample thigh room. without having an obnoxious amount of extra material in the crotch area.
As far as warmth. these boys are WARM! often too warm. So I am still on the look out for  cycling pants that will fit like these block the wind, look like pants, without being tights. or flapping in the wind.  Say a pair of Levi 550's from the 90's lol

Love, they fit little small at first and then they expand a little and fit great. The color gray is perfect gray

At first they were tight and narrow. But after a while, they were broken into and now they are nice and comfortable. I would buy another pair if ever needed or so.
