From the Kimes Ranch website: "A high-rise waist with a slim bootcut, the Sarah is made out of our innovative tri-blend denim for maximum wearability and rebound. The Sarah features slimming dark wash denim with hand-sanded accents with our iconic Longhorn logo in sunny yellow on the back pockets and above the front right pocket. This style has quickly become a favorite for those looking for western riding jeans! The high-rise keeps shirts tucked in and the slim bootcut opening makes zipping up chaps a breeze. Fabric: 82% Cotton | 15% Polyester | 3% Elastane Fit: High-rise, fitted thigh, slim bootcut Fit Tip: Since Sarah is a higher rise, we recommend going down a size. Details: Hand-sanding details, with faint distressing on pockets and hem of jeans. Construction: 11.5 Oz. Denim" The waist is higher in the back so you are covered while bending down.
