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

Just received these jeans and like so many other reviews the waist is really so far off. I am a size 4 In most brands and weigh 130lbs. I ordered the 6 regular and love the fit everywhere else but the waist is at least three sizes to small. I have purchased this brand before and not had this problem. Hopefully they can rectify this issue.

I have several pair of these in my closet that I bought a couple of years ago. I recently gained a couple of pounds and the ones I've had are a little too tight, so I ordered one size up. What's odd is that they fit even tighter than the ones I've had for a couple of years that are a size smaller. They fit everywhere except the waist, which is too small. They also are too short. I'm 5'4.5" and the regulars are too short.

I was initially pleased with these jeans, but just a few weeks after the return window closed (just over one year), these jeans tore near the inseam. The fabric overall was in good condition and the jeans had not been worn excessively, but it seems like the fabric was weak. I won't be buying these again.

I ordered a size up and they were still too tight. I don't like the skinny legs either. I sent them back. The return was easy.

These are not low-waisted. They came up to my belly button and the waist was uncomfortably small. If I order a size up to fit my waist, they will become parachute pants. They do seem well made though.

seemed small, the waist was too tight, and the fit was very snug. I liked the style and fabric

Initially I liked the fit . However after washing as usual with my jeans, cold water, a ten minute low heat tumble dry, the jeans are just too snug I am disappointed as my old 1912 jeans still fit as purchased. I feel I need to return the new pair as they are now uncomfortable to wear. Sorry LL

They are stretchy, but waaayyyy too high-waisted for me.

The fit was off with these jeans. I ordered a 12 because that's the size recommended for my waist, which is 31" but that pair was too large. So I exchanged that for a 10 and that waist was too small, yet the butt and hips too baggy. This for a woman with a pretty round seat :) Also, the leg circumference on the 12s were much wider than those on the 10s for some reason. They almost looked like boot cut. That's not how they look on the model. Disappointed - I'll ask for a refund.

These are not the same as the earlier favorite fit jeans, very disappointed.

Nothing wrong with these jeans. They didn't fit so I returned them

Have already sent back. Even though I'm fairly tall, they were way too long. Not form fitting in waist or thighs - actually kind of boxy. When trying on, had a great deal of difficulty unbuttoning. The buttonhole was very small and over stitched. Disappointed

I read lots of reviews before buying these but few gave what I needed: I am 5'6 and 210. I usually wear a 16 regular in other jeans. I got these and could tell immediately they were too small. Tried them on anyway to find the length way too long as well. The quality is great and the color and I'm very sad they don't even come close to fitting. Will be returning.

These run small. I always wear an 8 petite with llbean and these were way too small in an 8 petite

I have always worn llbean 8 petite in shorts. these 8 petite were WAY too small.i would probably take a 10 or even a 12, and they would b way too long.

I purchased these in size twelve which normally fits me, but these were way too small; I had to return them. If you're thinking of buying these, get the next size up.

I ordered these online about a month after trying on a pair in the store. They fit good through my hips just out of the bag, but seemed shorter than I remembered when trying a pair on in the store. The label said "Favorite Fit" but they came up to my waist, unlike what I had tried on in the store. After washing once, the length shrunk and the fit through the hips changed so that I was uncomfortable. Disappointing!

Poor fit! Supposedly Favorite Fit, but felt very high on the waist. I felt the fabric was too heavy and clingy like a second skin, and was also concerned that all that spandex and synthetic wouldn't wear well for working. C'mon Bean, how about some nice cotton content boyfriend style jeans?

I started out with size 2 regular (my usual size). The fit was perfect except that the waist was about 2 inches too small. Returned jeans and exchanged for size 4 regular (2 pair each in stonewashed and light indigo), having really high expectations that they would fit. Sadly, they did not. One light indigo pair was at least 2 inches too long. Both stonewashed pairs were shipped not even individually wrapped in the standard plastic bags. and had a strong offensive perfume odor. The waist on all 4 pair was still too tight and all 4 were high-waisted, unlike the size 2 which was truly mid-rise. I have been a long-time LL Bean customer and have never submitted a negative review until now. I am so disappointed.

I returned these jeans. They were too tight in the legs, especially the calves, but ok in the hips. The waist was a little high. I work outside and I don't think they would have given me enough room to move. Tight clothes are hot and that doesn't work for me. I'm an older woman.

The quality is LLBean great, but the fit was way to tight and the 32" tall length too short for my 5'10". I returned them for a different style jean. I am a 14/16 size and ordered 16, but too small.

The jeans looks really nice and I would be excited, but I can't button them. I ordered my regular pants/jeans size, but these are way too small. So, I guess people should know they run small.

Felt like I was getting into my kid sister's clothing except the waist still too big. Back they go.

They fit too high up on my stomach and are too low in the back. The crotch area sags. The fabric doesn't feel like it stretch's as much as advertised. The pants are uncomfortable for me. If I had a longer torso, maybe they would fit better.

Just frumpy. Quality seemed pretty good. They did not look like the jeans pictured.
