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.

The size was wrong and I didn’t like the fabric. It was too stretchy and wasn’t the classic denim I was looking for. It’s hard to tell from the catalogue descriptions

Love these jeans

I have been buying these jeans for years; love them. Always a perfect fit! It's so hard to find "high-waist" denim jeans (NOT stretch) - LL Bean were perfect. So disappointed you

There is SO much wrong with these jeans: first the fit is more like an 8 or even a 6 instead of the size 10 that I ordered. The rise is just about an inch or two below qualifying a

The rise is mid, not high; zipper is at least an inch shorter than the REAL originals; the REAL originals are 100% cotton; these are 56%. These jeans are fitted, not 'slightly fit

Not "Classic" or "Original"
Who in their right mind decided that all women want jeans with varying amounts of synthetic or spandex? These were my go-to jeans for years and years, no more. I live on the farm

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.
