Customer Reviews for L.L.Bean Women's Signature Original Jeans, High-Rise Straight-Leg
View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers praise the durable, thick fabric and classic fit, with many long-time buyers calling these their best jeans. However, significant frustration centers on inconsistent sizing, with recent versions running tighter in the waist, requiring size-ups or returns. Reviewers report "straight leg" styles flare unexpectedly, and shallow pockets limit functionality. Several express disappointment over discontinued Original Fit models and perceived quality changes. Despite these concerns, most customers value the sturdy construction and reliable wear, though fit reliability has become a major pain point.

Love these jeans
High waist, straight (not curvy) hips, heavy cotton, somewhat stiff fabric, lower legs are comfortably loose. Waist and hips are snug but not too tight. Flattering cut.

These jeans are fair and I 'settled' for these. The fabric is thin and not 100% cotton, the pockets are too shallow, the color is good but almost looks like 'stripes'.

Not my jeans
Ordered the same size as pair I wear (my old ones). These new ones? A size too small, strangely cut, and the fabric was just not to the old LLB standards. Returned, did not rep

Pockets too small & no longer 100% cotton
The pockets are pathetically shallow, and the jeans are no longer 100% cotton. I sent them back for a refund. I will never purchase jeans from LL Bean again, until they bring bac

Great Jeans!
These jeans are made from high-quality denim and they fit like a dream. They are high-rise, which I like and the length is good.

I like the look of these jeans but they run small (I wear a 6 and these were too tight). I also ordered a tall because I have long legs and they were too short.

I bought my normal size. The jeans are stretchy enough that they buttoned, but that was with a lot of stretching. They also do not really sit at the waist, so felt uncomfortably

I bought my normal size which fit too small, I returned them for one size up and did not like the fit of those either. I have returned both.
