Customer Reviews Lee Relaxed Fit Straight Leg Jeans

As far as fit goes, they are about a size larger than labeled, but they might shrink, so that is not my dissatisfaction. It's the material! They feel like regular denim, they look like regular denim, BUT they attract every animal hair in my house, maybe in the whole county. I work with animals. This is a big NO for me.

Ok, short answer.....No don't. Let me explain. I was desperately looking for a replacement for my aging Lee relaxed fit "At the Waist" very comfortable, now ripping through, jeans. I thought this was a replacement. Not quite. My size, 12 seemed a bit tighter than the originals. To the point of being uncomfortable (I know what you're thinking, and No I haven't changed that much. Trust me. Really!) . I figured they would stretch out a bit, (like my old ones) after I wore them for a while. So, I stupidly took off the tags. Another problem, was this Mid-Rise thing. The Jeans were much lower than my waist. To the point of the old grannie panities poking up. I found myself walking around like Charlie Chaplin and hoping no one was around if I needed to bend over! I will be donating my new Barbie jeans to our local donation center. I wish they would make jeans for real people, not fashion models. If you're looking for a replacement for your old, loved jeans like I was. This ain't it. After measuring the "Rise" of old ones compared to the new wedgie jeans, the new ones are about an inch and a half shorter than my old ones (from crotch seam up to top by button....I can only imagine what Low-Rise is. Can you even bend over in those? Or do they just fall down?! ). I wish I could offer more help, but jeans are a very personal thing. The only thing I can do is tell you what I feel is a good translation of the "Rise". High-Rise = Lower than what your used to, but kinda tolerable. Mid-Rise = Way below belly button, Underwear will be higher, Plumber Jeans. Low-Rise = Runway model, No bending, perpetual wedgie. I can't even imagine. (If I wore those, people would scream in horror) Good luck out there. I hope this helped.

I had high hopes for this style of Jean. But such a strange fit. From the knee down they are HUGE! Too big in the waist & cut of crotch feels odd. I'm returning.

I bought the Meridian color and am not a fan of the the way they are dyed to look like the lap is wrinkled. Now I have to figure out how to return them.

These are well made and fit well - at first. But wear them for 2 hours and you feel like you are wearing a whole different pair of pants-very loose.

I wish Lee still made jeans and capris the way they used to. All the ones I've tried on lately are too tight in the hips and thighs and way too lose in the waist. I still have my older pairs of Lee jeans and capris that I love, and would like to buy more, but they just don't make them like they used to. I understand that it conserves fabric to make them very tight in the seat, but it also makes them very uncomfortable to wear.

I ordered straight to leg and got boot cut. I ordere and paid for express 2 day shipping and got it in 7 days

Love them and will buy more as long as the pair I sent back are credited to me as promised by return department

I have Lee 1998 relaxed fit stretch in a size 14. Trying to replace as they are falling apart. Cant find the same product. Have ordered 2 times 3051842. They are not sized the same at all. Im really unhappy as I love them. Will try one more time then will look at other brands if they dont work.

I bought 3 pair of the relaxed "stretch" jeans--Spade, Parchment and Falcon. The detailed description said to click on a color box to get fabric details, yet when I clicked on the colors , there were no descriptions of fabric content. I wanted jeans with a lot of stretch like the Lee relaxed jeans in my closet which are about 70% cotton. I took a chance and ordered these since they were called stretch, but when they arrived, the two colors I wanted for spring -- parchment and falcon, were 98% cotton! and very tight! The Spade jeans were 61% cotton and they fit perfect -- all size 10. Jeans are going back and not falling for this charade again. No more online buying from Lee.

I have been buying Lee jeans for years. My favorite black pair got a bit faded, so I ordered a new pair. No matter what I did, I couldn't keep every piece of lint and fuzz from sticking to the jeans. I finally gave them away. Recently I purchased a new pair. The same issue is happening. Washing hasn't helped. What is up with these pants. I have other jeans and it is no problem. There must be something about the way these are treated. I'm going to have to give these away again! Help!

I ordered these because of the product description that they were 92% cotton 7% poly and 1% lycra. When I got them the tag on them said they were 84% cotton 14 % poly and 2% spandex. I was looking for a jean with less spandex and more cotton thought I had found it. NOT!

Ordered two pairs in different colors...one pair fit perfect and the other I could not get on! Will not chance ordering more.

I bought 4 pairs of Lee jeans - all same size but 4 different styles. This "relaxed" fit pair was extremely tight in the waist and hips. Even the thighs were a bit snug. Now I've taken the tags off and learned I can't return them.

I am still the same size I was several years ago when I bought my Lee Classic Fit Straight Leg Jeans. I have looked all over, tried on oodles of jeans that are supposedly the same thing as my worn out pair. The leg at the knee is way too tight on me. I am a short, slightly overweight woman with arthritic knees that stay swollen. The old style worked great. I'm so afraid to mail-order anything but I'm tired of trying on jeans. Which style do you suggest I try if I'm looking for a pair of jeans that stretch but not over-stretch, and have a comfortable fit with wider knees? I don't like the new 'curvy' look!

PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINALS!!!!! They fit perfectly and the denim was the perfect weight. No more stretchy jeans!!! No more thin denim!!!!

Fit is fine but it was not what I expected. I ordered the blue jean and the khaki color. It is not the loose, straight leg fit, it is more like a skinny jean type. The good part is that they fit well and decided to keep them.

I have one pair of the old style that I treasure. They don't have all the spandex in the fabric. These start off ok (weird fit) but wear for an hour and they stretch. Then I'm pulling them up and need suspenders.

I have worn these jeans for years but was very disappointed in the pair I just received. The fabric is thin and not the same quality as in the past. Also I like the original dark blue color and it is no longer available. Very disappointed.

All I've ever worn were the Relaxed Fit with flared leg Jeans and ordered several of the your new straight leg jeans and absolutely hate them. They gap around the waste and are too tight thru the thighs and legs!! If Lee doesn't bring back the old flared leg jeans I'm going to have to find another brand of jeans.

First off, let's all stand and applaud Lee Jeans for listening and bringing back the original! No other manufacture I've ever dealt with has actually done this! Good for you! That's why we are loyal to you! Thank you! But, these jeans are hopeless! I usually wear a 12 P, but am now in an 8 P. I cannot keep them up and they stretch out so badly in the waist and seat before you know it I'll be a size smaller!! Great for the ego, but not realistic! The other thing is the length....way too long for petite. I never had to have them shortened before, now I'm walking on them because they are so long. So, I hope with the return of the original, you will also go back to the original length........ Can't wait for the "second coming"!

The replacement model (3051842) is too low at the back and doesn't stay up like the older model. Please use model numbers on your web site so I can find my favorites

I was seeking the relaxed fit at waist high. The new one (3051842) has too short of a rise at the waist, exposing my back side. Please give model numbers for those of us buying so we can determine the style. I won't buy these again; too uncomfortable with the backside slippage.

How can you ignore women's true shape and ruin a good thing for us all ? The original fit is what made them popular - they were correctly proportioned. These gap in back and slide down. Curvy women devoted to Lee's jeans have not changed our figures. Give us back the original fit in these.

I have to add my voice to the others that don't like the new fit of these jeans. They are tighter in the thighs but they always feel like they are falling down in the back (waist too big?). And there is a difference in the two colors I bought...one fits better than the other but neither is comfortable. Unfortunately, I think I waited too long or I would send these back.
