Customer Reviews Lee Instantly Slim Straight Leg Jeans

This was described as being a "relaxed fit". It is not. It is very shape conforming and the waist was very tight. I had purchased this style in a 10M because my 12M in another style was too large. But this is way too tight. I am considering returning.

I was told this jean was replacing the Monroe jean. Definitely not even close. I have worn Monroe since they came out, lost almost 20 pounds recently, and these new ones I couldn't even zip! Returned and waiting for my refund.

not a good fit for me

I have been a Lee girl since just before Chic jeans stopped being made. I was happy to find a product that held up well and didn't wear as fast. I became a regular consumer. I have noticed in the past 5 years or so the quality of jeans has gone down. I am on the heavy side and quite frankly the jean now wear out terrible in the thigh area. I recently lost weight and had to pull out my older smaller sized Lee jeans and the difference in quality is quite noticeable. I would rather pay the extra price, and would, for a better quality jean than pay a medium price for a poor quality jean. I have moved to Levi's now and am enjoying the better quality. With many complaints online about the recent quality of the jeans you would think you would heed the consumer requests and go back to a better quality jean. In this day an age consumers are even more conscious of their buying dollar. They want to buy something that will last a little bit and not have to replace so often.

shorter then normal

sizing is way too large

Jeans marked right size as to order, but way too small. 12 Long fit more like 8 Short.

I only wear Lee jeans, have for years. Usually no problem with fit. 10/12 Long. These jeans said 12 long, however, they fit more like an 8 Short.

The web stated mid-rise, however was high rise. The jeans were loose in the hip all the way down the leg so were not slim fit.

The Palisade color was great. I ordered 6 L - pants measured only 31"length. In this order, I ordered 4 pairs lengths were Palisade 31", Charcoal 32", Black 32.5, Heritage 33". The Heritage color was the only pair to come in at the 33" Long. It appears to me to be a quality control issue. The Palisade was the color I truly wanted. That was disappointing. Can the varying length issue be corrected, please.

I've been ordering relaxed fit straight legged jeans for years. These are not the same sizing as the others. They are skin tight. Even in the knees. Have to send them back, which is a pain.

Thought these would be a perfect fit. Ran extremely tight. I'm 5'9'' and thought I would need tall. These hung in bunches around my ankles. Tall is really tall.

Since I can't find any petite sizes in a light colored jean, I thought I would try these in short. They are not described as pictured. The color is much darker. Short was too short. Jeans were made in Egypt. I'm really disappointed because the size and colors I want to purchase are never available.

I liked the fabric and color (solid black) but did not find these jeans as described - straight leg. The jeans were very tight in the knees and on down. I did not want leggings and that is how they fit.

I've bought three pairs of these jeans in the last two months. The first blue pair fit better than any I've ever had. The second blue pair was a little snug, but still wearable. The black pair was so tight I couldn't wear them and they were the same size as the other two (size 4). I exchanged them for a size 6 and they were still too tight. I then exchanged those for a size 8 and they were wearable, but just a little bit too large. So basically, the black pair had to be two sizes larger than the size I've worn for years, just to fit.

These pants were not the same fabric as in my other pants. These were way too tight in waistband and were made of different materials. These pants were made in Mexico and the previous perfect fitting Jean's were made in Egypt with different fabric composition. I also will not be ording again through this website as there is a shipping charge. The only upside was there was no return fee.

I had bought these before and they were OK, but just bought 2 more pairs and they are too short. The length measures 29.5" not the 31.5" listed in the description. (before washing) Makes a difference! Look like floods!

I've worn Lee jeans for years! I ordered exactly off the label of my current lee jeans because I like the fit but apparently you've decided to add this extra "instantly slims" feature and they no longer fit nor do any of your jeans fit anymore. I'm 65 years old and I do not want jeans that suck in tight on my legs. I'm not fat but I do carry more weight through my thighs and like a straight leg jean with little or no stretch. Sorry you've decided everyone likes their jeans to fit like leggings. I've returned these and you should be getting them back shortly.

Although I have been a stockholder of VFC for many years, I've always had difficulties in finding the correct size, length, leg style for a nice pant--- Lee's. When I've shopped at local stores, I conclude that if I were a 10 short, I'd find anything I wanted. A 12 straight-leg, average-length, jean in more colors than black or blue jeans is almost always impossible. I was hoping a Lee website would have a generous supply, but I seemed to have gotten a slightly different model than I thought I was ordering. I had used search capabilities, and got a couple choices, but not what has worked for me in the past.

Had these in denim, and decided to get more. The Denim fit as expected but the black has VERY tight legs. Nothing relaxed about them. More like skinny jeans

I used to love lee jeans it was the only jeans that fit me right. But over the last few year they are very in consistent in size and style. I had to return as the classic fit that I used to love have changed. I returned the jeans for a refund.

Unfortunately these jeans were much wider in the leg than the exact same size and style jean I just bought at a retail store. I expected Lee would be more consistent in same pants

I bought a pair or these jeans (horizon color) in a store. They fit perfectly, and were very comfortable. As I could find no other colors at the store, I went online. I ordered 2 more pair, same size. One pair was black; the other mocha. Delivery was very prompt; I had wanted them to take with me on a trip out of town. They came quickly and I tried them on. I could not begin to button the black ones. The mocha, I could button, but were uncomfortably tight. Therefore, I'm returning both pair. I'm afraid there won't be time for them to get here before I leave. Why do 3 pair of the same style jean fit so differently? Obviously, Lee has no standard sizing. This makes it difficult for the customer. What I like most about the 1 pair that fit is that they are high rise.

I have purchased many many many pairs of these jeans when they were the old Monroe fit. Now the crotch is too long. I held the new ones which are the same size as the old ones up to the old ones and the crotch is about three inches longer on each side ( front and back ). I used to love them and recommended them to other people. I think they are awful now. I don't need to pin the waist to my bra. Please bring the old Monroe sizing back. You might as well call the high rise waist.

I love the color, the initial fit but 15 minutes after you put them on everthing but the waist band stretches out and they just hang.... WHY?
