Summary

Levi’s Ribcage Straight sits at an extreme high rise and often feels small versus Wedgie or 501 Women’s at the same waist number — especially on rigid washes. Size up if between sizes or you need to sit comfortably. Measure your natural waist, not where mid-rise jeans usually rest. Partial because stretch washes and body shape split the camps.
