Customer Reviews Lee Relaxed-Fit Side Elastic Tapered-Leg Jean

I have an hourglass figure so jeans never fit but these are great. If you are like me your waist measurement and hip measurement are different number sizes, i bought the size closest to my waist measurement and they fit awesome.

I like the style

No back pockets. Need pockets.

Jeans wear well. The short ones are still about 2 inches to long.

I ordered Lee jeans because they had elastic on the side. I thought the fit would be more comfortable then regular jeans. The quality is good, but the jeans didn't have any stretch to them. I never bought Lee jeans before and thought I should try them. If the jeans had a little spandex I would have kept them. That's why I'm giving them 4 star rating.

I love the Lee side elastic jeans and hope they never discontinue them (like they did the shorts). I did learn that the black jeans run a size large due to stretching as you wear them. They are the only jeans in my closet and only ones I've found that fit ! I've been wearing Lee side elastic jeans for more years than I can remember. Using Lee.com saves me so much time!

NO back pockets!!! Love it!

The only thing wrong is I ordered a size 12 R and they are a little big. I also ordered another pair in the same size and they fit perfect.

Love the side elastic jeans. Only problem is the indigo fits perfect in size and length, but the pepper stone sit like 1 size smaller and shorter than indigo.

Occasionally tight, avoid the dryer

I will continue to buy these for the elastic hugs my small waist

Great style and material, was disappointed I had to have them altered.

I have purchased the pepperstone jeans multiple times over the years (both online and via retail stores). l and will probably buy more in the future. I buy them because it is so difficult to find jeans that fit at the waist instead of the hips. These can be counted upon to fit me well. However, prospective buyers need to know that the jeans are not made from high quality materials and they do not last nearly as long as jeans from other manufacturers. The pattern is always the same. After a few months of wear, the fabric begins to shred close the zipper. I reinforce that on the inside of the jeans. But then the fabric will begin to shred along the seams and the waistband. After that, it is only a matter of time before the holes become so prominent that the jeans can not even be worn outside to do yardwork. If you can find another brand of jeans that fit you well, you will probably be happier purchasing the other brand. If not, you may want to purchase these when they are on sale. Also, I once purchased the black jeans thinking they would fit the same as the pepperstone ones the same size. The fabric was not the same material and the black jeans did not fit me at all. My last recommendation is to always wash them separately. The inside of my clothes dryer is actually stained blue from drying the jeans.

Fit is good except I'm a medium tall/32 inch length so they're long, but will probably shrink up some. I've bought these before and like the lighter weight for warmer weather and colors I can't find from another site.

They resulted loose on the hips for me. They don't look nice. I am very sorry because it is my favorite brand. I made the mistake of ordering the curve fitting

I did not care for the basic fit.

I love Lee brand jeans to begin with, which is why I thought I'd try these. I love the fit and let's face it ladies, as we age, most of us don't care for unforgiving waistlines on pants. Having said that, these jeans have stretch, but not too much that they'll get too loose over time and once you have them on, one couldn't tell there's elastic in the waistband. They do run small though. I ordered a 14, just in case, and wasn't disappointed. I typically take a 12 and the 12 wouldn't have fit in any sense of the word. Still, a beautiful quality, nice fitting jean. Thumbs up here. 4/5 stars due to sizing.

I bought the 18M but it's a little bigger than the ones I've bought in the past. I don't know if they're size 20 with the wrong tags on or what. I bought 3 pair and I'll probably have to get rid of them. They're actually too big.

Wear for good

They always fit the same.

Way too loose and baggy in the legs. Waste ok but pants stretch out way too much in the rear and in th3 legs. Looks baggy.

I love the jeans but prefer the petite length so that I don't have to pay to shorten 4 inches off the legs and the fit at the top of the inseam is correct.

I usually wear Lee jeans in size 14, but after washing they get a little tight. I thought the side elastic would be the answer, but even brand new, they were too tight. I returned them.

Everything fit except the waist. Uncomfortably tight.
