Customer Reviews Lee Relaxed Fit Straight Leg Jeans

If it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it! You totally ruined the ONLY jeans I have EVER been able to wear! For over 40 years I have loved these jeans. Even been able to buy them from Lee Jeans online and THAT is saying something. The other day I went into Penneys to get a new pair. Tried on your 'new and improved' jeans -- UGH! They DO NOT FIT! Way too tight EVERYWHERE! I even tried on a size larger (I normally wear a size 6). What a joke! Now I'm REALLY in trouble. I BEG OF YOU to bring back my old jeans!!! Hopefully if you receive enough horrible ratings you will do just that. PLEASE!!!!!

For years I have worn Lee jeans. Your new style is a joke. It's the most horrible fit and the fabric is just as bad. It seems the more customers complain about the fabric it seems the worst it gets. I'm using new jeans to work in my yard and do painting around my house because I won't wear them any where else.

I've worn this style/brand for YEARS AND YEARS. Went to buy more yesterday and they didn't fit! Yes, the tags now say "New". New is right ---all wrong and changed! They don't fit. I'm so bummed out and sad! WHY do companies do this! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! DANG!

The other posters were right on -- the waist is so stretchy that they would fall right off of me. They also fit fairly tight through the legs, which is uncomfortable. I'm sending them back and looking for another style or brand for the future.

I live in Lee Jeans, but these are going straight into the donation pile. The waist is way too stretchy, the material is very heavy, and the overall fit is weird. I don't like them at all and wish I could find my regular Lees, the ones I have worn forever. Please stop messing with the styles and stay with what works.

I have been wearing Lee's jeans for years; first they reduced the amount of cotton and added polyester and 1% spandex. Now they have changed the content AGAIN. Increased the amount of spandex and made the stomach and waistband so stretchy they don't begin to fit like a pair of jeans. Makes the tummy area bulge and you actually look heavier through the tummy than you really are. Also gaps at the back at the waistband. They were fine before so IF SOMETHING AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. Why don't you leave a good product alone. These are going back and I don't know what I will be buying for jeans in the future. My choices are limited as I need a long inseam...too bad Lee's can't be counted on anymore.

A couple of months ago I ordered a pair of black and a pair of white jeans in this style which fit perfect. So I decided to ordered one, black, two beige and one denim blue jean in same style. The black fit and the other three fit horrible. They were supposed to be all the same style. Sent three back.

I totally agree with the reviews I have read. These new improved jeans don't feel like jeans, they fit awkward and they stretch so quickly, they need to be washed after one wear. About the third wash, the black jeans were already faded and did not take long to look really bad. I have relied on Lee relaxed fit jeans for years, but not sure what to do now. Please bring back the original ones!

I agree with the other reviews. The new improved relaxed fit jeans are not improved! I tried on several sizes and non of them fit. I bought 2 pair of these (the original ones) and they fit great. I wear plus size and now I've lost weight and wanted to buy these same jeans in a smaller size. THEY DON'T FIT! No one with curves could wear these jeans. Bring back the original Classic Relaxed Fit without spandex. I don't like the tight legs. You can't bend over, they are too tight and they itch. I want original cotton relaxed fit jeans that have a waist.

I have been wearing the Relaxed Fit Straight Leg jeans and pants for a number of years and have been extremely pleased how well they fit my "shape", however recently I purchased two new pair and they are too large in the waist and too tight through the thighs. I will be searching for another brand if this is the way they are going to fit in the future.

I'm really upset that the waist on these jeans is so not there! I think Lee was trying too hard to make it a flexible waist and made it a no waist. If I hadn't already washed them, I would be sending them back.

I too have tried the "new improved" style of relaxed fit Lee jeans (replacing model no. 3051804) and am disappointed in the fit. They are too tight in the thighs and seat and too wide in the waist. It took many tries to find jeans that fit well. I was very happy with the "old style" but these "new improved" jeans missed the mark. Note to others, I did find the "old style" jeans available online from VF Outlet for a very reasonable price.

I have bought these jeans for over 40 years, the most perfect fit I ever had..Until someone decided to change the fit, now I hate them, so now I have no place to buy good fitting jeans. The legs are too tight, and the waist is a joke, feels like they are going to fall off of me. I hate the lyca, too much stretch, and they are not relaxed anymore. I just bought 2 pair and I always wash my jeans before I wear them. So I can't take them back, so I guess I will see if I can sell them on ebay. They dont fit me anywhere.. You ruined my perfect jeans.

I've been buying these jeans for years in multiple colors. The new "updated styling" is terrible - too much spandex everywhere, in the waist, hips, legs, butt. The waist and the hems on the legs curl up from being so stretchy. They are also a lot heavier than the original version. The longer you wear them, the baggier they get. The original style was very popular with a lot of middle aged women because it was the only pair of jeans you could find that didn't have a low cut waist & tight legs. This new styling has gone to the opposite extreme - they make you look dumpy because they are so stretchy & heavy - even in a size 10! Lee needs to bring back the original style or they are going to lose a lot of business.

I've been wearing Lee Relax fit for years because they were the only jean that fit without hugging your body. Stretch jeans do no look good on people with hips. Hopefully you will start making them with the old material and give people a choice.

Have purchased and worn for years. Only jeans I found that work being only 5'2 and not stick thin. Just got my order and the jeans are now completely different.

Even after washing and drying these jeans the waistband kept slipping down. After 30 min they were ready to fall off, they just keep growing bigger as they are worn.

Tried a pair on in a store fit really nice. They only had one pair in my size. I really liked the color Azul. So I ordered a second pair on line. Washed both pair. Worn one of them to shopping for a couple of hours. OMG I thought the jean were going to fall down to my ankles by the time I gotten home. Jeans looked like I bought them 2 sizes too big. Never had jeans to stretch out so bad

I, like most of the reviews, have been buying this style jeans for years, and also am so disappointed that they had to mess with this classic style. The fit is terrible, stretched out so bad I couldn't keep them up without a belt. I was so excited to find so many colors, bought 4 pairs and returned every one of them. LEE--GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FABRIC/STYLE AND LEAVE IT ALONE!

Have been buying these jeans for years now you have really messed up this time why do you have to change what works won't be buying these anymore.

I have been wearing Lee jeans for years and years. I ordered these relaxed fit in Houston color and I am a perfect size 12, these were huge on me. I could pull the waist band out about 6 inches. Very disappointed, had to send them back. Now I might just buy them in a store where I can try them on.

the new jean fit well then stretch out so much that they look terrible and they barely stay up without a belt. I used to love these jeans PLEASE bring back the original or give us a choice!

I had already ordered 2 pairs of the premium dark jeans and like them so well I decided to order flax and authentic Houston. I ordered the same size. When I tried them on they seemed looser. After wearing them for about an hour they kept getting bigger and bigger in the waist and the crotch kept dropping. I decided to wash them following the directions on label. They shrunk in length and in the leg width but got looser in the waist. I took up the leg width and they continue to get looser and looser. This was extremely disappointing. Consider how great the premium dark version of these pants are. I would not recommend these two other colors unless a size smaller might be better. Lee needs to work on the consistency in material and sizing of these pants.

bought these jeans according to the size chart and they were way to big. very disappointed especially since I had to pay for shipping to receive them and also to return them . It cost me $25. for nothing

Every pair I have bought in the last 2 years have ripped at the back left pocket down the pocket usually the 2nd time I wear them. I don't know what the problem is but something is definitely wrong with way they are made. They fit loose on me so it is not that they are tight but they all tear in same place.
