These are complete button-fly jeans with no zipper. Therefore, the buttons are visible from the front. The waist is mid-rise to high-rise. Made in Spain. They are stretchy, made of 92% cotton, 6% elastane, and 2% spandex. In a size 27, the flat measurement is 34 cm at the waist, 12 cm at the hem, and 22 cm at the thigh, making them a skinny design tapered towards the hem. I used to buy high-rise items for a while, but now I'm more of a low-rise person, so I'm letting these go.
