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

Purchased a 16, normally a 14-16 in jeans. They felt great putting on, but very disappointed in the waist size. Could not zip them up at all. No way I'm going to be ordering an 18+ Not the right pair for this curvy gal.

These jeans are a great and by great I mean comfortable fit! They are flattering too.

I have been looking for petite jeans for a while, and these seemed promising but ultimately I found the sizing to be very odd. The legs were comfortable and just the right length, but the waistband was way too tight. I had to size all the way up to a petite 6 to find a pair I could actually close around my waist, but at that size, the legs were super baggy. Very disappointing!

Like the 3 bears the first shipped pair was too small & returned, the 2nd shipped pair after customer support was way too large, and FINALLY the 3rd pair purchased at a Penneys was just right. Lesson learned buy pants where you can try them on.

I have this EXACT same pair of jeans in 3 other denim choices, and they are Perfect!! This pair (same size, same length) came in larger in size, and 1.5" longer than my other petites. Did not keep any of the paperwork because I was sure I was getting the same thing.so either I have to pay the $15 to have them shortened, or they hang in the closet till I'm willing to wear shoes w/more heelthat could be quite a while. AND, if I find a way to return them, how do I know it won't happen again?

I was disappointed to find that the cut and fit of these jeans had changed. I had visited the store while on vacation a few years ago and bought a pair of the BeanFlex Favorite Fit jeans at that time. I ordered the same jean but ended up retutning them.

The jeans were very nice quality and True to the color. I've ordered these before and they fit in the waist. These fit perfectly except the waist was too small.

LLBean jeans never fit me. Every few years I try again and they are always too small. This time I even ordered a size bigger than my non-llbean jeans, and they were too small. Frustrating

I've bought many size 6 Beanflex over recent yrs, my recent order is clearly cut smaller. Comparing measurements of if past and present jeans there is about a half inch smaller on all measurements. My guess is they are using a new manufacturer.

loved the fit while in the store. Became baggy and lost shape after just a day . Nursing them along has done next to nothing ...so ..there we are .

My original Bean Flex jeans were size 14, longer length. They fit me great. These jeans were the the regular length; size 14 also but vastly smaller. I felt like I'd suddenly gained weight. (yipes!)

Almost every pair of jeans I own are LLBean, but I have worn them to death and needed some new ones. I tried these jeans and found the fit completely different from all the others I own. The fabric is good, but the legs are way too long and the waist is way too tiny. The small waist made the front stick out when the button was fastened. Not at all the same quality and fit I have come to expect from LLBean.

I have several pairs of the LLBean performance stretch jeans (low rise, slim leg). They are my favorite jeans ever, and since they've stopped making them I've been looking for a replacement...Can't seem to find low rise here anymore. These jeans are not comfortable at all, the fabric is pretty thick and the waist is too high and tight. For reference, I'm 5' 3" and 110 pounds. All my pants are size 4 and fit just fine. These do not. If you are going to try these I would recommend going a size up from your usual.

Beanflex Jeans I had were comfortable from the beginning. The 2nd pair are stiff, not flexible so feel tighter and uncomfortable. Very disappointed! I would not order these again.

Jeans at LL Bean are not true to size . I bought one pair, went back to but another pair. I decided not to try them on at the store thinking they would fit like the last pair. Same jeans and sk. Number.

I'm 5'3, 140lbs. In most brands I am a size 8. I originally purchased size 8, regular. The waist was way too tight. Ordered size 10. The waist was still very tight. I don't think they would even wear in after time to be more comfortable. In both sizes, I liked the length and feel of the denim. Unfortunately these will not work for me.

I own several pairs of L L bean Jeans, size 6P, favorite fit, only a tiny amount of stretch. They were perfect, but I have not purchased a new pair for several years. Now the favorite fit is only available in bean flex with much more stretch and less cotton and they have changed the waist size so that it was tight. I returned them.

I purchased these mid-December in the same size as my last 3 pairs and yet they felt snug everywhere as if the sizing for the product has been changed. I hope this pair was merely a poorly manufactured pair -- BTW, my 3 older pairs still fit perfectly so the problem is the slacks and NOT me.

I was so disappointed that these jeans have changed in the manufacturing and are now too small. I ordered several pairs in the past in size 16 petite and they were perfect; I've even lost weight and but the pairs I ordered now are just very uncomfortable, seem smaller in every dimension. It's nice when you can order the same thing reliably but not even with LL Bean is this true anymore! I have to return, AGAIN! Same thing with my husband's Double L jeans; bought them before, ordered again--but his were too baggy. We haven't changed. Why can't labels be reliable anymore?!

I love the fit of these jeans, especially being petite. I bought a couple of pairs this fall. Unfortunately, they have an awful chemical smell. It's hard to remove. I'm trying to soak them in vinegar & water to see if the smell will come out. I hesitate buying anymore and should probably have returned what I did buy.

Quality control must be horrible. I ordered these on recommendation from a friend. Ordered a size up from my usual LLB denim size to accommodate a little more room along the waist band. These jeans are either cut very small compared to the true fit or they were not sized correctly. They lacked at least 2" to close along the whole length of the zipper. It goes right along with ordering the exact same size of two identical tops (except color) and one possibly fitting and the other being way to small or too large! I liked the fabric and I think they would have been comfortable, but was so disappointed. I just need a break from the products

Reviewing return policy, not the item itself, although, the reason i had to return it was due to a sizing problem....so, having to return something for the first time to LL Bean, I was unaware they had a return fee of $6.50. Ridiculous! If they are trying to retain me as a customer when I can easily shop locally at other stores (the closest LL Bean is 40+ miles away), then they need to change their business model. If i were a repetitive returner-new word '-), i could see the reason for a charge, but even then if you're an online retailer, you should do everything you can to keep your customers happy. I am extremely disappointed and will take my money elsewhere. Too bad as i have shopped with them for over 25 years.

Even those these are mid rise there are not for anyone who has a stomach bec. they can get uncomfortable around the waist for older women

The inseam was incorrect. I bought two pairs, regular, which was supposed to have a 30" inseam. Both pairs said regular but the inseam was 28", which is petite. I was sent two replacement pairs and those were 29", which isn't listed as an inseam length at all. Extremely disappointed because the first pair I bought with a 30" inseam was perfect and I just wanted another pair.

The jeans run a size smaller than what I usually wear at LLBean. Also, the jeans came with a terrible smell. I am hoping it comes out with more washing.
