Cutting for SignThe border between the United States and Mexico extends 1,951 miles. Among the people who live along it are a migrant laborer huddled in a makeshift camp, a Chicano cowpuncher, a Pima Indian who makes his living tracking drug smugglers across the desert, and the millions crowded along the border in Mexicali.

The border between the United States and Mexico extends 1,951 miles. Among the people who live along it are a migrant laborer huddled in a makeshift camp, a Chicano cowpuncher, a Pima Indian who makes his living tracking drug smugglers across the desert, and the millions crowded along the border in Mexicali.

In this beautifully written, unerringly insightful book, William Langewiesche allows us to see this boundary in all its political, moral, and emotional complexity. Whether he is patrolling the border with officers of the U.S. Immigration Service or talking with the desperate men and women who cross it every day, Langewiesche is always engaged in what trackers call "cutting the sign" reading the marks that human beings have made on this contested land and decoding the meaning they hold for the rest of us.

"Spellbinding. . . . The reportage is] high art . . . for Langewiesche painstakingly uncovers the connections between elusive clues as he searches out the border and its people."--Boston Globe

Good buy
Size: 28W x 34L, Color: Medium Indigo
My 16-y/o 6' grandson wears the 28"-34". Not easy to find. These fit him well. Material is regular blue jean. Good value

Nice jeans, but too tight in the thighs
Size: 31W x 28L, Color: Light Wash
I liked these jeans overall — good quality and the stretch feels nice — but they were a little too tight in the thighs for me. If you’ve got more athletic legs, you might want to size up or try a different fit.

Same sizes but different fits
Color: Light Green-new, Size: 32W x 32L
Great color and good fit. Feels more like a Jean. I bought two pair-exact same size. 32w x 32 length. Light green was exactly what I wanted. The maroon red was more like a jegging than jeans. Not what I wanted. Supposedly same style - so just be aware fits were completely different!

Good product with quality-control issues
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 31W x 31L
I really like these jeans. I own them in almost every color they offer, but the manufacturing consistency is hit or miss. The latest pair I bought has a much smaller pocket opening than the others. I also always order the same size (31×31), but when I got the red pair they were ridiculously long, more like a 31×36. And the first khaki pair I bought had pockets about half as deep as the rest. My iPhone would literally stick out of them. That said, for the price and overall look, they’re still a solid buy.
