Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Straight Leg Favorite Fit Jeans in Stonewashed

I have been buying jeans from LL Bean for years but am increasingly getting frustrated. Why do you not sell at least one pair of jeans that are more than paper thin fabric? I live in Colorado and these jeans are suitable for summer only - they are useless at 0 F. I called customer service to be told that I should use the flannel lined ones, I do have a couple of those but don't want to use them all the time as they are very thick. Also, what do I wear when I want to ride a horse in the summer - flannel! But the other jeans would not work, they are dress jeans.. I have a 10 year LL Bean pair of proper jean material I use to walk the dog in the cold weather as they stop the wind but they are old to go out in. I have no problem with the new type of jeans, they certainly have their place but sad to see you not even sell one selection of workable jeans. The Favorite Fit i brought about 3 years were much thicker than these I just got (and have to put away for May or June).

The first pair I bought fitted great and were very comfortable. I then bought this pair exactly the same but different color. They do not fit the same. Not happy.

Bought same jeans last year in size 6. Excellent fit. Had to by size 8 this year do to new sizing. Not thrilled.

I am keeping these jeans because they are extremely comfortable and I expect to travel a lot over the holidays BUT the dying of the fabric is very faulty. Striping appeared in the front panels after a single washing. I include a photo. A close look at the online pictures on the website indicates this is not unique to the pair I purchased, as it appears in both the rinsed and the stonewashed versions. Dear Beans, your supplier is not doing right by you. disappointing...

I usually wear a 10 in LLBean pants and ordered up. The 12 fits well but is definitely a snug fit. The stretch is generous so not uncomfortable although for me the waist is still a little snug/digs when I sit. I'm keeping the jeans but it's unlikely they will become my favorite.

Run large and the description incorrectly states these jeans are 100% cotton (not).

I have always worn a size 10 and in fact I lost a bit of weight and needed a new pair of jeans. I can't button these up - by a lot! They seem like nice jeans and I will reorder a size up....

I think the waist runs small - or I'm getting fat. Ordered size 6 -my usual size & were too small - returned. otherwise I think they would have been fine.

Runs very small and the waistband is unforgiving Other than the sizing, they are nice.

BeanFlex is okay. I prefer the 99% cotton/1% spandex material in your 1912 favorite fit jeans instead. The BeanFlex does not feel natural.

Had to return these. I loved the fabric but the fit was off. I had to size up for the waist to fit (I know that's where my problem is!) then the hips were too big and the legs were too baggy. I bought to wear with boots, but the look wasn't good. They fit high at the waist, the lower on the waist is better for me. This pant does not come in that style.

I took the advice of other reviews and sized up. I am normally a size 4 and ordered the 6. The jeans are soft and comfortable and the 6 fit. However, I returned them because I ordered the favorite fit and they were very high waisted, unflattering, and gaped in the back. I have a smaller waist and more athletic build. I was hoping to find the perfect jean, but these just didn't work for me.

Baggy at the hips. Not form fitting like my other jeans.

These are very well made, nice looking jeans but they are smaller and tighter than other brands in comparable sizes. I ordered the size I wear in jeans from at least two other companies which fit me well but these from LLB, I could not even close to zip. I was quite disappointed. I'm keeping them because I'm determined to lose some weight and think they will make good office jeans once I can fit into them.

Favorite fit waist is still a little too high for my taste, but it's ok. Hits just below my bellybutton. I'd prefer a slightly lower rise, since it is a snug fit, but at least I can wear them. I expect these to bag out, after first shrinking, as have every pair of every brand of stretch denim jeans I've ever had, so I don't want to go up a size. Oh, for the good old days of selvedge denim.

These run too small (3 inches smaller than another pair in the same LL Bean size! Just see pic!) and the waist is too high for a cut that is supposed to "sit lower on the waist"

Crotch drops way too low. I have to pull the jeans way up to get the crotch to sit right.

I liked the jeans, the size was correct, but they were too wide in the hips --not worth altering!

I was looking for a replacement for the 1912 Jeans that seem to be discontinued, These are not it for me. While both are Favorite Fit, these are a bit more snug, especially in the leg, Combined with the fact that they are less than 70% cotton, I suspect they are not going to be getting a lot of wear this summer.

My first pair were made in Indonesia & are perfect. Ordered this pair in black & were made in Mexico! Waist is much smaller. I tried to order the next size but all petites are sold out. I think there is a problem with the black choice. I would like to buy from Indonesia & not Mexico.

A comfort waist would make it perfect, as I don't need extra room in the hips or thigh and I don't need the next size upjust a bit more at the waist. I add a button, so it's not too tight there.

I really hoped these Favorite fit would be a shorter rise. I am struggling to find jeans (other than my beloved Wranglers) that are still made in an 8 to 9-inch rise. Sadly, I'll be returning them. Loved everything but the rise - the length was perfect, the way they fit everywhere else was great. But I don't want to encase my ribs with a waistband and a button.

It's not as light as it might be. I can't see wearing these on a warm day.

I didn't think I got a petite. I wanted regular. The pant length is a tad short. Otherwise I like them.

I have 35" hips so I thought size 6 would work since it said 37 1/2", but unfortunately they're just a little too snug to be really comfortable especially once I sit down They're OK for walking! But just barely. Otherwise they're nicely made and attractive.
