Different styles DO NOT fit the same

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

Bought two pairs — blue jeans and the cream/tan two-tone jeans. The blue jeans size 26 fit well and had a nice stretch but the wash was not cute, so I returned. The two-tone pants, on the other hand, fit horribly and had NO stretch. I couldn’t even get the buttons close to securing, even though they were the same size (26). I liked how they looked though so I bought size 28. Again, the size 28 we’re still far too small. I got them buttoned but could not sit down because they were so rigid and restricting. If they’re sold as the same product, they should have the same material and sizing across different styles. I ultimately sent all 3 pairs back.

Size: 29Color: Summer Slide - Light IndigoVerified Purchase

Love these! I wasn't expecting much, pant shopping these days is just a chore of returns. I have have little mom tummy, thighs with no gap, and average waist. Nothing ever fits without feeling stuffed into them. Enter these jeans. I didn't struggle getting them on, just the right amount of stretch but not overly cheap, and look like the pic. I'm 148lbs, 5'6, and have that mum tum. They do have a slight gap but not terrible. I'm a big Joe's Jeans fan and these have the same pulse. Given that weight fluctuates, I'm buying a size down too!

Way too small. I ordered my regular size but the were stiff and super small in the waist. I didn't even try to order the next size up because of how uncomfortable the denim felt.

Comfy to the max and petite friendly

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024

Size: 28Color: Black RinseVerified Purchase

As a petite 5'1 I appreciate these denim jeans! Although they are more full length on me, I think they still look great. Purchased in black, I've gotten my $ out of these jeans already with how often I wear them. If you are a mom of a toddler like me, don't hesitate getting these! You can bend, stoop, squat, lay, jump, slide, sit cross legged, etc in these! So much great stretch and love the style! Makes your booty look good too!

Russian roulette here on Amazon!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

Size: 16 PlusColor: Summer Slide - Light IndigoVerified Purchase

I read EVERY review before ordering. Huge, tight, baggy, short or too long. OMG I've never seen so many variences in reviews, so I am POSITIVE these can't be authentic. I'm about 35 lbs over my normal weight right now (you would think working remote would make me exercise more). I am 5'5 1/2 and about 180. Size 14 usually fits me right now. Amazon said I should get a 16 plus (I've never worn plus sizes!) and the size chart said the same, so that's what I ordered. I got 16 plus in Summer Slide. If you select that size and color, that pic looks exactly like what I got - only full length (which I wanted - in summer I wear capris, not 'floods' - showing my age?). They touch the top of my foot. They are not tapered OR flared. Same all the way down. However, the waist is off compared to the rest of the jeans and the denim has very little stretch. There is elastic in back, but I can't even button them. The thighs and butt are perfect for a regular jean. I wanted looser overall though. So I'm gonna keep these and (like another reviewer said) use them as motivation to lose weight. If I dropped 20 lbs, the waist would zip easily and the thighs would be looser. If you're looking for 'ankle jeans' (aka 'floods'), this size and my height aren't that. I'd need to be 5'10. The denim is nice, regular denim (not thin and not stretchy) and they appear well made honestly. But the size chart is wayyy off for the waist. And I'm curvy. My waist is 10" less than my hips, so you would think the waist would fit since I got them up with no problem.
These WILL be exactly what I wanted if I drop 20lbs.
I miss my Girbaults from the 90s. They were so cute loose with a tight bodysuit underneath and big belt. Geez, I'm old. But I don't feel it - age is a state of mind and I'm THRILLED to see my daughter (26) wearing mom jeans now, when she wore those awful super-low cut jeans in high school.
But hey, in the 80s, I had to lay on my bed and use a hanger to get my designer jeans tight enough. They left marks on everyone! Then Grunge hit and we could wear actually comfortable jeans. TMI? 😅

Huge decrease in quality

Size: 28Color: Fall Storm - Light IndigoVerified Purchase

I bought this exact same pair directly from Levi’s 2 years ago and they are my absolute favorite jeans; however, these are nowhere near the same quality. I’m not sure if it’s because these are from Amazon or if the quality of Levi’s is completely different but I’m incredibly disappointed. I accidentally shrunk my old pair, which is why I decided to buy another but these ones feel like jegging material. You can buy the same quality jeans for way cheaper

So an influencer I watch on YouTube can’t rave about these jeans enough. The pictures to be honest on Amazon were so so and didn’t really match her hype and weren’t over appealing to me. So I thought I’d chance it and took the plunge to try them. Ok, now I know what all the hype was about! They are magnificent lol!! Fit and feel and flattering..just love them!!!!!

A good deal

Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought the black colour jeans. I am 5’7, 160lbs. I have two pairs of ribcage jeans in a size 30 from the Levi’s store, and while I love the way they look they are not that comfortable (they have a girdle effect which is good for how they look and bad for eating a big meal). Decided to try these ones, but I was sceptical. I also bought these in a 31, for a more casual (and comfortable) fit. Anyway, they are pretty good. Way stretchier than the ones I have. Fit well on me (but I have had two kids and have no waist anymore) and look good. They are cheaper than the Levi’s store ones and you can tell by the fabric, these are like the Costco version, but overall a good deal. For reference I wear a 29 at Madewell, and a 30 at the Gap.

Curvy girls, size up

Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2023

Material is great, but I found it did not fit true to size. It fits snug around the waste and hugs the butt in, I would suggest going a size up, especially if you have a bigger butt :)

Advice from a pear shaped bod

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

To preface I am 5'8, 140lbs waist 25" hips 39".

Step 1 size down. After buying a pair in my usual size then buying another pair a size down I'm certain that if you have a pear or hourglass shape, buy a size down than your usual if you want a more flattering snug hip fit. The material is stretchy enough to accomodate this. The waist will probably be far too loose as demonstrated in the first pic. Unless you have a straighter silhouette theres no way the hip and waist will both fit you on these pants and I always find that with levis, they favor straighter hips.

The next part (sorry) is to get the waist altered to fit you so you look *snatched*. Without using a waist sinching belt or altering the waist they will look like regular high rise old navy esque jeans and we didnt come here for that. (The second and third picture I have sinched the material in the back to show you what the potential is.) That said the material, feel and height of the jeans are great. The color is pretty much the same as the advertised photo.
