I really like these tights, however the first time I wore them, I noticed a small hole in them. I have it stopped for the time being, I'll just have to be easy on them. They are very snug, but in a good way; they look nice on!

Last year I ordered some Newport News shirts and sweaters that were on sale (I usually wear S or XS, ordered some S and some XS), and when they arrived, they were all WAY too big. Felt like I was wearing XL. Plus the quality was very shoddy. So I sent everything back, but instead of re-funding my money they sent me a store credit. I was pretty annoyed because everything I ordered had been crappy, so I just held onto the thing for a year and forgot about it.
I saw these leggings on Amazon and they had pretty good reviews so I decided to use the store credit. I had been looking for some nice ankle length leggings for fall and winter. Other reviews said they ran small so I ordered mediums, and I'm glad I did because they are pretty tight (I'm 5'4" and weigh 113 lbs). At first I thought I should have gotten large, but they are 95% cotton, 5% spandex, and after wearing them around the house for a while I think they have stretched a bit and fit more comfortably. They are long too, they scrunch a bit at my ankles but I don't really mind, there's not more than an inch of extra length. So definitely go up a size and get the petite if you're shorter, but I wouldn't get the talls unless you are over 5'6". They are a bit higher waisted than I'm used to (as a 20 year old who wears low rise jeans), almost to the bellybutton, but the waistband is smooth and rolls down well, if I roll it twice it still looks pretty flat and doesn't show, even under fitted tunics or dresses.
One thing to note is that in the stock photo it looks like there is about a 3 inch cuff at the bottom of the leggings, but if you look at the larger image, you can see that it is just a wrinkle because they're pushed up a bit. I almost didn't get them because I thought it was a cuff and I didn't want it to look like little boy's pajamas.
I bought them in charcoal, black, and indigo, and all the colors look very nice. They are sewn very well and much better quality than everything in my previous Newport News order. They are not too thick, but not too thin. They could be a little softer, but they seem like they will hold up well. One thing I love is that they are made in the U.S.A.
So overall, very nice, I recommend them, I'm not a fan of the company's normal quality, but the rating is for the leggings and not my past experience. Glad I found something to use my store credit on!
By the way, if you order them directly from Newport News' website, they are $10 each when you buy two or more pairs, instead of $12 each.

I have both the classic and capri leggings from Newport News, and approve of both! Color, quality, and comfort are all there! Price is beyond reasonable- don't think you should ever pay more than $10 for some leggings. One word of caution- they come small and therefore feel really tight on the legs. I am 5'6" and about 115lbs. I bought small and they had to be squeezed up my legs. But once on they were comfy and relaxing. A second word of caution- the capris are cut big up top. I ended up tucking the waist in to my bra! But the bottom part fit very well.

Length was correct, waist was blissfully not too wide/short (a problem common in the cut of bottoms these days), and material was perfect. Thank you, I'll be back!

These are very nice quality. One word of caution: they DO mean big. I am 5'7", 126 pounds and ordered big/tall in medium. Could have ordered small regular.
