I ordered the JCREW Matchstick for myself around Christmas. That’s how I roll, I buy my own Christmas gifts.
While there are some things I really love about the fit, the drawback is the waistband and the rise.

What it comes down to is these jeans would be perfect if the rise was slightly higher and the waistband didn’t cut across the widest part of a woman’s hip. The weight of the denim isn’t soft enough to hug the hip, instead it cuts the hip. Even thought I love the way these jeans hug my legs and butt I won’t be ordering another pair.
Are there a pair of jeans in your closet that could use a design tweak or two to make them perfect?

I am wearing this style for the first time today and couldn't agree more. I'm relatively in shape but these are the most unflattering jeans I've ever worn. That'll teach me to blindly order without trying on or doing my homework.

I don't even own this style any more as when we moved last summer I just gave them away. JCREW has so many better styles and some higher waisted styles that they should either retire these or update them so they fit better! Hopefully you can send them back :(
