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

Disappointed in the fit. I don't want to feel "poured in" to my pants. While these are "straight leg" they are about 1" narrower than I would like. I want a bit of stretch, but not to be forced to stretch! I have other straight legs from LL Bean where the "spacing" on my legs is just right, but there is no stretch. I want just a bit stretch, for ex, when I bend my knees. Hip fit is fine, waste is fine, so going up a size would not do it.

Returned this item, the tencel softness was not felt and the size seemed to be too small, more like a 10 and not the 12 I ordered.

I found these jeans to be very small. I returned these I ordered the next size up and even they were to small...and no, I do not have a covid weight gain.

I used the size chart. I measured. I ordered my size. Guess what? They don't fit properly. Which is hard to do considering all the spandex. I bought them for a trip that was postponed and missed the return window. Now I need to find a 6 foot "size 14" (12 in actuality) woman to bestow them on. Hopefully they will derive more satisfaction from them than I did.

The product runs small. I purposely bought it in a larger size based on previous customer ratings. The length however was not true to size either which I did not expect. This product also runs short.

Hi, I bought the straight leg flex jeans last year in a 10MT and they fit perfectly. I recently ordered the straight leg flex jeans in stone wash 10MT and could tell just by looking at them that they were too small. They were at least one size, if not two, too small in the waist and hips. I was confused so put the ones I bought last year back on for comparison and they are definitely not the same size. I will return these but am hesitant to buy a size up because clearly the sizing is inconsistent. Surprised so many said these are true to size.

I was very disappointed at the small, inaccurate fit. Wanted jeans with the lighter color and with Tencel. Used the size guide to select the size 6 but have to return them. The 6 was small overall and especially in the waist.

I've never tried these jeans before, but they looked exactly like what I wanted. I had originally ordered these in April for a western trip I was taking in June. After being backordered for about 4 months, I was finally happy to receive them. I ordered a size 14 (my regular size) but as soon as I opened the package and before I tried them on I could tell they were too small. I returned them and ordered a size 16. They arrived in a timely manner, and these too are a little on the small side. I am keeping them, but there is certainly something wrong with the sizing of these jeans, and LL Bean should look into this. I see others have had the same problem.

I bought these earlier this year, and loved them. So I ordered another pair. By that time, they were backordered. I waited from April to September. Finally got them. They were cut so differently from my other pair that I actually pulled up the order to make sure I got it right. I did...Bean didn't. One of the best parts about Bean is the consistency...good quality, and sizing stays true. Except in this case. The waist on these is 1.25 inches smaller than my existing pair. Makes me question future orders.

My other Bean pants fit fine. I can't fasten the waist on this pair.

These jeans want Sooo much to be leggings. I really didn't want leggings or even slim leg pants, but there you have it. I would have preferred a relaxed fit, especially through the thighs. And the fabric isn't very rugged. So, I am still looking for my next pair of perfect jeans from LL Bean. I really miss your Easy Stretch line. Would have purchased a whole closet full if I had known it was to be discontinued.

these jeans were sent back. I ordered a 16 just because my size 14 was getting a little tight.The size 16 was smaller around the waist then my old size 14 also they were way to long even tho I ordered a petite. I t seems that everything I order lately just does not fit and I am going by LL Bean measurements.

Quality control seems to be missing: Left leg inseam was crooked all the way down the left pant leg, off by about 1-1/2". This is the second time that I experienced this same sewing flaw of a crooked leg seam. I purchased a prior pair of the same jeans, but that crooked inseam was tolerable, so I kept the jeans. Other than this inseam sewing flaw and quality control issue, the jeans are nice looking and comfy.

I find this style runs too long in the legs for my height, plus the seat seems to run small. I'm sticking with the True Shape style, as that fits the hustle in my bustle a bit better!

While some brands fit better than others, I wear a size 6 in all my pants. I thought I would give LL Bean a try but was disappointed in the sizing. While the material was soft and comfortable, I couldn't pull the pants together to get them buttoned. Way too small. I'm going to return (and pay the return shipping cost) and exchange for an 8 but wary that they will be too big in other areas to be flattering.

The waist was too snug and the hip and thigh area were too big! Disappointed in the craftsmanship. I promptly returned them. I would not recommend this product.

I liked the fit and cut of prior Favorite Fit jeans I have purchased in the past although I had to return a pair once because the fabric for that particular pair stretched so much that after one wearing they were too baggy. I was disappointed this time to find that the cut of the legs is bizarrely wide. The pants do not hug my legs as pictured on the model and no stretch is needed they are so baggy at baseline. Yet the waist, which sits on the hip bones, is tight. And does not seem to stretch. I am pretty thin so the combination of this smaller waist with wide legs from the crotch on down is very odd. I am keeping the pants but am disappointed and generally will use these for walking the dog, and not when I care to look good. I wish that the cut of the alleged Favorite Fit was not so different every time I order and the photos so misleading. Doubt I will try again.

I bought these jeans in one size larger than I wear normally, as I've noticed LL Bean has changed their sizing. They fit, but are tight. I normally wear boot cut which were not offered, so I purchased straight leg instead. They are more like skinny fitted jeans all the way down, which I don't like. They were not very soft, and I was really disappointed. I've been shopping with LL Bean for 30 years, and it seems like they are now catering to the teens to mid twenty year old age group. I will be very hesitant to order any clothing in the future.

Thought I was ordering same jeans as last order. Made in different country and made of different material. Not as soft I can feel the difference. Looked at percentage of cotton etc. not the same. Disappointed. Would not order this item again.

My legs were about to go numb.

Part of the problem was my fault because I did not notice they were 20% polyester, so they would not work anyway. However, the first time I wore them, the puppy snagged them... I have never had jeans snag before. I will be returning them as soon as the hours at the store expand.

I tried these jeans on several times trying to like them but I finally returned them. There was just too much material in the thigh and hips.

I returned this item as it had horizontal stripes below the belt line to the thigh. I missed this on the illustration which perhaps was my fault, but this is not what I wanted; if I am wearing jeans, I do not want any embellishment detracting from the jeans!

These jeans fit like a dream though I confess I usually wear a 6. They're plenty snug in the 8. Soft fabric. Although I am accustomed to a degree of "new" fabric smell, and usually I can remove the smell with laundering and airing outside, these jeans had a much stronger chemical smell, such that I was concerned I might permanently smell up the washing machine. i decided not to take chance.

I did not like the material at all. Kind of clammy feeling, not cozy. The fit was weird, too large around the butt and hips, and the legs were cut oddly, felt like i was wearing someone else's pants by mistake!
