Customer Reviews Lee Instantly Slims Relaxed Straight Leg High-Rise

I am having some difficulty with the zipper not closing properly. I used Vaseline on it and that did help.

I still prefer my old 1990s style, fabric, and fit. But NOBODY makes them anymore. All stretch, no true high rise ... Not Levi, GAP, Wrangler, Gloria V. So these are as close as I'm going to get. Re: sizing (prepopulated choices) The sizing option between 'tight' and 'loose' is not necessarily 'perfect.' The fit is 'OK.' So I ordered another pair.

The metal button used to close waist is very hard to get in and out of the opening. You better not be in hurry to unclamp. Also zipper is also very difficult to zip, have applied bar of soap but still hard to zip.

The width of the legs is somewhere between straight leg and wide leg, which translates to them looking weirdly baggy around my thighs even though they fit well on my hips/waist. They're comfy and good quality and long enough though. If they were tapered just a touch more right at/just below the hip, they'd be perfect. Happy to wear them casually but the cut isn't done well enough to be able to dress them up. Note - I've bought other straight leg jeans from Lee with a shorter rise that don't have this problem and fit perfectly. I much prefer high rise, so it's disappointing that these are such a different cut even though they're supposedly still straight leg.

I have been buying Lee jeans for over 30 years and they are still a good jean, but the workmanship and quality of materials has changed. The button holes on the fly are a ragged mess now, not done neatly at all. And depending upon what color material you buy, some material is very heavy, others like jeans always were.

The jeans are Lee's usual great quality and fit (in fact, I'm wearing them now), BUT the color was disappointing. I expected more of a gray color, but it's closer to taupe/beige. That's why I dislike color names like "Palisade". A better description of the color would have been helpful. I'd prefer jeans that were truly light gray. If you like taupe, though, these are your jeans!

I love the fit. I will buy these again

Front pockets are not deep enough.nice fit

I live in black jeans. Disappointed in my last several pairs, I decided to try these. Overall, I'm quite pleased: they fit well, look good, are easy to move in, and seem quite durable even resisting kitty claws. My only profound disappointment endemic to every brand of women's jeans I've tried in recent years, with the singular exception of made-in-USA Aviator are the ridiculously shallow, absolutely useless front pockets. Give us some decent stowage, Lee! Not all women carry purses

I wish the material was thicker like the old jeans.

I use them for dress jeans as well as for bowling. Comfortable either use.

Liked everything except the material attracts hair. Constantly brushing hair/lint off.

I am tall and these were not long enough.

Listed as high rise, but they were lower rise than expected. Otherwise fit was good and quality good.

I love Lee jeans, the pair I got tho was way too tight, I sent them back but I will be ordering again

I really don't need Relaxed Fit which apparently means in the hip/rear end area which is why I was looking for Classic Fit which fits me better. I put them in the washing machine, hoping they might shrink a little. Haven't tried them on since then so I don't know if that worked. They are only mildly too big for me and they are a size 8. I doubt I could get into a 6.

They fit perfect,

The jeans are a great quality. They're a little stiff but I'm sure they'll soften with age. I've never had the black ones before but I did order them 1 size larger than the blue ones I've been wearing. However, they are so tight I'm not sure I can wear them.

I ordered direct from Lee because it's hard to find hi-rise jeans. My old pair were snug so I ordered a size larger. They are tighter than my smaller size. Overall I love the jeans, just disappointed in the inconsistency of sizing.

Even though they are labeled both classic fit and relaxed fit, they are the classic fit. Hopefully they will not fade too quickly. I wish the fabric were a more traditional denim.

Fits ok.

The jeans fit well and are made well however, the zippers don't zip smoothly.

I like the way they fit.

I thought I was buying gray jeans, as advertised, but that is not the color I received. I talked to customer service and she said the jeans advertised were gray. I kept them because of the fit, but I wanted to let you know that the picture was not correct.

I bought 3 different colors in the same jean style and all three fitted differently. I really think that the quality control leaves a lot to be desired. Also the grey (palisades) was not really grey but a tannish color.
