Customer Reviews Lee Relaxed Fit Straight Leg Jeans

This pair has a fade pattern, thighs, butt, that I didn't see online. Bought these for work and can't wear them.

Too "relaxed" in the hips and thighs. Color Nile is a washed-out streaked blue. Fabric is too stretchy and too lightweight.

I have worn nothing but Lee jeans for years. I am very disappointed in the new stretch denim. When you put them on, they are perfect, but in no time at all, they are falling off. I ordered some 100% denim in the same size and can't get them buttoned.

I purchased 2 pair, one blue jean and one beige. The blue ones were a little smaller than the pair I have. The beige pair were more like 2 sizes smaller than the blue, even though I purchased the same size. I will be returning them, disappointing.

I continue to be disappointed with Lee's "Relaxed Fit" pants and jeans. I personally do not want pants or jeans that are skin tight, even if the fabric stretches. In the past, "Relaxed Fit" meant roomier seat and thighs, but in lately, they are using less fabric and call it "Relaxed Fit" because the fabric stretches. If you have a smaller waist with a bigger booty and larger thighs but don't want your pants to fit like a glove, search for other products with a different company. The Lee brand has become a brand that works only for people with smaller lower proportions.

I purchased the jeans in the Falcon color (3051818). Online the rise is described as " at the waist". The tag in the jeans describes the rise as " just below the waist" and the jeans do indeed have a shorter rise than the last pair I purchased.

I would return these but I already washed them. The fit is not comfortable at all. And it rise is below the waist so these "NEW RELAXED FIT", do not fit.

These jeans fit ok.....but I don't like how stretchy they are. They are also very thin. I have old ones that are 99% cotton and 1% Lycra that I like much better but Lee doesn't seem to make them anymore. I am only buying these until I find something better.

I did not care for the whiskering on the color I bought. It was a larger size, and it draws unnecessary attention to the widest part of my body. For some reason it wasn't apparent to me in the photo that this color features whiskering. The size was just a tad looser than I expected. It is a far, far different fit than the originals with no stretch and the version with just a bit of stretch. The fabric is also thinner than regular cotton denim

I agree with the majority, these jeans are good but. They fall down as they streach out, in a day of wear. Great comfort factor, if going dining at an all you can eat. Too much room in the belly, a bit to low in the back. I need jeans built for a gal with a butt, not tight fitting, straight leg, fit at waist or a little below and loose in the thigh. Can't wait for the revised version! Thanks, kate

I bought two pair of these and love the higher waist and the fit. I carry my cell phone in my pocket and it fits! HOWEVER, since they stretch out so much I had to buy a size smaller than usual. They fit fine but after a day or two they are pretty stretched out. for the most part I am putting up with this as I needed a jean upgrade in the worst way and was tired of boot cut and shallow pockets.

Shrunk ALOT after one cold water wash!

Its strange that same jeans of color Verona (Blue) fits perfectly and the same jeans of color Falcon does not fit.

I have been wearing Lee Jeans for years too like the other comments. These are very different than the classic jeans that I ordered over the last 10 years. They are comfortable, but they do have a lot of stretch which I feel start to bag out.

I have been ordering these jeans for a while because I've really liked them and could count on them. However, these jeans are very different, depending on the quantity of cotton. I recently ordered one pair that is 72% cotton and another pair that is 98% cotton. I am returning the jeans that are 98% cotton because they don't fit and they look odd on me - I can't figure out why they are all sold under the same heading. The ones that are 72% cotton fit pretty good and look fine. However, the best pair of these that I have had was ordered about a year ago and had 70% cotton. I would give the jeans that are 72% cotton 4 stars and the ones that are 98% cotton 1 star. The ones that are 70% cotton from a year ago are 5 star jeans.

I just got my jeans which I reordered the same style and size from 4-5 months ago. Now, they're 2 inches shorter in the front center seam, but the same length in the back. Now I have to return them and find another style that I like. I'm not sure what to do now because you changed the fabric quality and the cut. Like many who have written reviews, I've ordered and reordered Lee jeans for many years, and now you're making all these changes and forcing us to try other brands. Whoever is making these decisions at Lee needs to read the reviews.

I haven't ordered from Lee for 5 years so the jeans I like have changed. I ordered the new style and they fit great except for the new waistband. I have always had a problem with gapping at the waist and this new style is quite different from the old jeans I liked. I can zip them up and pull them right off!

The jeans are nice and otherwise fit fine, but they are not straight leg. I get that they are relaxed fit, but the leg opening is too big. It is gigantic, making the jeans look frumpy. I definitely won't buy these again. And I won't buy the Classic jeans - too tight on the leg. They can't seem to get this right.

I have been buying these for years, and they felt like cotton even though there was 1% Lycra Spandex in the fabric. The leg openings were always sized as stated. FYI: I have a large waist compared to my hips. The 2 pair of stonewashed blue bought in 2014 hold their color well and are very sturdy -- but they changed the fabric to add more stretch. It has an icky feel to it. The legs openings are HUGE! The write up says 17.5" -- but mine are 18.25" and 18.5" (12L). My old cotton feel ones are perfect at 16" to 16.5" The fit: The 2014 versions have what seems like a bit larger waist, which is fine with me -- but they stretch out quickly and then look way to baggy. The older cotton feel versions are slightly snug at first, but usually stretch out after they are worn for a while, which is also okay -- but they don't get baggy looking. If Lee is reading this: PLEASE be the first to offer us Waist & Inseam choices in each size. I would gladly pay more for the custom fit in a classic jean.

I am a huge fan of Lee jeans. I have several pairs of Lee Classic Fit Straight leg. They hold their shape very well during the day. The new style has too much spandex. After you wear for awhile they no longer fit as well. I find my self constantly pulling them up because they have stretched out and are falling down. This was never a problem with the old style. I was very disappointed.

I ordered two pair of this type of jean (one black, the other brown) in the same size and length. One pair is shorter than expected and the other is longer than expected. Not too happy about this but the comfort is good.

Bought two pair of jean. One, material nice and the other flimsy. Return the light colored jeans. Too big and cheap denim. Wish they would go back to real Denim. Get rid of the spandex.

I liked the fit although for me they are a little long. I don't like the width of the cuff. It is 10" across so I'd would have preferred the tapered cuff which is about 8" across. So I am returning these two pairs in hope I can find a tapered cuff(leg). I need a relaxed fit and I don't see any with a tapered leg. In fact there aren't many with a tapered leg. Would be nice if there more with the tapered leg. Thequality and the colors are goo.

I've bought this style number for many years. Loved the cut, fit and denim... up until the last year or so when they went from all denim to adding the spandex. I hate the spandex. If Lee wants to keep this product in their line, please also add the old style back to the line or if not, just do away with the spandex!!

These relaxed fit, straight leg jeans are awesome - however, the LYCRA CONTENT IS NOT. It's hot, does not soften with wear, and is just uncomfortable. Please return to the 98% cotton fabrication, or I've bought my last pair of Lee jeans. Sorry.
