Here are pairs two and three. Not a huge amount to say about these. Both have ordinary zip flys. Back pockets are different on each pair. Top stitching on the full length pair is light blue and the back pockets have sparkles hand sewn onto them. The shorter pair are topstitched in very light grey but it reads as white on the denim.
I have a dilemma with the shorter pair. They are not really cropped, and not really long. Just an annoying "I shrank badly in the wash" length. I've not hemmed them yet because I can't decide whether to raid the bin for some fragments of the denim and add a sort of cuff to make them longer. Or cut them off shorter and be done with it. If I cut them shorter I can't decide just how short to go with them. Or, I could just make a minimal hem, and wear them inside boots where no one can see their shortcomings. So they are sat in the workroom awaiting my decision. Meanwhile, I shall wear the sparkle pair tomorrow.

Cuff first, if not nice, then chop. Boots always good.
Sparkle tomorrow, indeed you shall!!

On my last pair I used 1" wide bias tape. Stitched it 1/4" then turned up evenly so the bias does show.
However, got to say, those jeans make your legs look like they go all the way up.
Definitely, the right pattern for you
Both pairs look great! I really like the back pockets. Cutting the short ones shorter could certainly look good - since it'll look intentional.
How about turning up a deep cuff and sewing that in place? Then they'd be cropped cuffed jeans. You could took the cuff into the boots, ot wear them out for a different look. Plus you could wear them with the jewelled toe post sandals and a tee in warmer weather.
