Customer Reviews Lee Relaxed Fit Straight Leg Jeans

I just ordered my favorite fitting jeans and noticed the tag saying Updated styling. Not a good move. Like the other reviews I've read they do not fit as well as they used to. The length is shorter, they gap at the butt which pulls them down and makes the pockets gap. They do not fit the waist like they used to. Just sooooo sad that my favorite fitting jeans are gone.

I have worn these jeans as long as I can remember. Even as I gained some weight, the next size up continued to fit well. Now with the new "updated fit" everything has gone to pot!! The waist is too loose. For the first time in my life, I can pull the jeans off without undoing the button and zipper. I am continually pulling them up, and when I am gardening, a major "plumber's crack" is there for all the world to see. Even when I am getting out of my car, the jeans must be pulled up before moving. Also the quality of the fabric seems to be going down--much lighter compared to some of my older jeans. Please un-update!!!!!!

I have been wearing this jean for at least 15 years. The material has gotten thinner over the years, but at least it fit good. It was my favorite until this New Updated Style. They are now tighter (almost like a legging) and looser at the waist. They use to fit just right all around my waist and a belt was not needed, which I don't like to wear. While the back is still at my waist, the front is now 1 inch below it. After I get back up from squatting down, I have to pull the back up and the sides down for it to sort of feel okay. PLEASE bring the previous style back. Will now have to look for a brand that fits better. Why mess with a good design!

I used to love these jeans before they made them stretch jeans. These jeans were made of real denim in the past. Now women get spandex, and men get denim jeans. Women deserve quality clothing.

I have worn these jeans since they first came out and really liked them. The new updated version is unacceptable. The fit is larger in the waist, sits above the waist, shorter in the inseam and they stretch out of shape to be baggy in the seat. I will not buy these jeans again and will go on a search for a replacement as I like the straight leg and relaxed fit of the original Lee Rider "At the Waist" ladies jeans.

The new style in the relaxed fit stretch jeans is tighter in the hip and waist yet I spend all day, pulling them up, they seem to "stick" to my leg and I have to keep yanking the legs up (they stick to my calf though they are not tight) and the waist up. Do not like the revised style. The 3051845 style fit perfect. I am now going to have to hunt for another brand of jeans that fit! I searched for years to find the old style that I wore for years. Very disappointed in the change.

Please bring back the former relaxed fit straight leg jean # 3051866. It fit perfectly. This revised one does not. I could always count on that pair of jeans. I can't say it is a poor product. It just does not fit the same as the old version.

I'm wearing my old pair of jeans when my new ones arrive. Clearly different. Same size as what I have on but these are way too small and you've made the front pockets much smaller. I use my pockets. Don't like to carry a purse so small wallet used to fit in front pocket but not any more. Old ones were so much better.

I have been buying the relaxed fit lee jeans for years and years. They have always been the same and fit perfectly. Now lee has tried to fix what wasn't broken and I suspect make the jeans cheaper because they no longer fit. The waist is too big and there is too much stretch. One pair I bought has the right side of the butt portion smaller than the left and the seam is not in the center of my butt. The quality has deteriorated and I will not buy these again. After 20 years, I will have to find something different unless Lee goes back to their old normal style and material. This was money wasted.

These jeans were perfect, both fit and fabric. Now these have both changed for the worse in the new, "improved" style. The fit is looser, higher around the waist, but not a deal -breaker. The fabric, however, is VERY thin, cheap, not warm, doesn't even feel like denim. It even wrinkles and will need to be ironed after every wash! Sadly, Lee has ruined these formerly great jeans. I probably won't be reordering.

I usually buy my jeans from JCPenney and I have been wearing the Original fit for over 14 years and know they have changed there Original Relax fit to another style. I don't like how they fit they are tighter in the knee area and the pocketts are longer. What Happened!!! Cause they where my favorite fit of jeans and now you go changing the style and made them uncomfortable. I don't have a style to where now. ugggh

I was hoping to order more jeans like a pair I had. Unfortunately that style isn't available so I ordered these since they seemed to be very similar. Wrong! Too much stretch (spandex) made them feel tight in thighs. Too large in waist and kept having to pull them up. I started to return them after just trying them on but decided to give them a chance. Wore them all day and hated them. It's not the first time I've found Lee jeans I like only to have them discontinued or "improved." Will return the other pair I bought.

I have been buying this style of jeans for years, but after my most recent order, will never buy them again unless they go back to the original. They fit comfortably enough in the legs, but the waist stretches out so much they feel like they're going to fall off, and I'm not exactly a narrow waisted woman.Even with a belt (which bunches up uncomfortably) they feel like they're still falling down. I guess I am going to have to look to a competitor for well fitting jeans, because these are terrible.

I have been buying Lee Jeans for 30 + years and for the life of me I do not understand why they keep making changes to styles and fabric when you have a proven winner! When a pair of Jeans is being rated at a 4 or 5 why would you mess with that??? After reading the reviews I did go to the store and try them on before I purchased and I too had to size down a complete size (but who complains about needing a size smaller, not I!!) The material is where I found the biggest problem because it is just down right uncomfortable. I thought I would just adjust to the feel the longer I wore them, but I was mistaken! I can't exactly put my finger on what exactly is the problem. They are a bit scratchy, have too much spandex, even though I purchased a smaller they still seems to keep falling down. I bought these because my local store was out of the "Classic Monroe straight leg" in my length (long) but I should have just waited because now Im the owner of a pair of jeans I can't stand to wear they are so uncomfortable.

I used to live in these Lee Jeans. They were some of the only higher waisted ones I could find. The polyester content ruined them. Now they cling where I wish they wouldn't and then stretch out and feel uncomfortable. Wish I could find a higher waisted, cotton jean.

Based on a comfortable and good fitting pair of Lee jeans I bought in a US store about 3 years ago, I have been looking for the same ones to no avail until I found the Lee website on-line. I compared the model number, size and description and thought I had found the exact same jeans I wanted, but when they arrived, they were not at all as I expected.The leg is very baggy and most uncomplimentary. I was very disappointed. Unfortunately, I live in NZ so it's too expensive to ship them back.

These jeans were dramatically smaller than when I ordered them the first time. I held the two up together and there was at least a difference of two inches! So disappointing!

I have worn this style of Lee jeans forever. I ordered 2 pair, one dark brown and the other the beige color. Both in a size 12 M. The beige fit fine except they are too short. The brown are too lone and very baggy through the legs, unlike the beige ones. The material in both pair is very flimsy. Don't know what happened but what a disappointment. I would think the same size and length ought to be the same but not so. I've washed both pair (according to directions) and guess I cannot return them now?? Anyone had this trouble?

These jeans appear to be cut smaller ( not quite as high on waist & tighter in crotch area) Legs aren't quite as wide as my last yrs one & waist is smaller. Also the material appers to be heavyer not as thin & compy Old # was3051864 under that IZS-E561 006 new ones # 3051864 IZS-J925-005 They feel more like a petite than a short The color vintage is nothing near to what it looks like on line It is just a tad duller than the lt blue

I used to love the Lee Relaxed Fit jeans, but that was when they were 99% cotton. I've been trying them again over the years since, but no joy. Just paid shipping to return once again. They just don't fit right or look good, no matter if I try tight, perfect, or loose sizes. Sorry Lee, I'm done.

Don't like so much polyester and spandex - skews the good comfort and fit that I am used to. Just wore out my cotton ones and desparate for another made the same! PLEASE!!! return to 98% cotton blue jean for better comfort and fit.

She didn't like anything about the way they fit her body. It was good in length and waist but not right in all other places! She will be giving them away to a friend instead of sending them back.

These jeans were to be waist high and were below the waist. I am not 16 and don't want anything below my waist but my knees! Very disappointed and returned them promptly. Even the 50% off couldn't convince me to keep them. Also they were not expandable

Please bring back style # 3051849, these replacement jeans just don't cut it! They are cut smaller and are not as comfortable. I'm wearing an original pair right now and they are great, purchased this pair which replaced style # 3051849 and they are not as comfortable.....completely disappointed in these. Stop trying to improve on something that already works!!

I ordered two pairs of the dark wash and one pair lighter. The fit when I first tried them on was perfect; They fit higher on my waist to help contain my mid section. They fit just right thru my hips. I liked that they didn't cling to my thighs all the way to me knees but fell straight off my hips/thighs to the hem. Very comfortable...initially. However, after only wearing them a couple hours, the denim stretched all out and were baggy around my butt. I absolutely cannot stand this. They look like I have been wearing them for days, not just a couple hours. Maybe they need more spandex. I was very excited at first but now am extremely disappointed.
