Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Standard Fit Jeans in Gray Wash

One of the pocket watch pocket rivets fell off after first machine wash. Not a real problem because stitches will hold but concerned about things falling off in the dryer.

With the stretchy fabric, these were much warmer than expected, much warmer than regular cotton jeans.

I thought they looked nice and were comfortable. But, because i have such skinny legs my wife said they looked to baggy on me. So, unfortunately i had to return them to keep peace. I thought Bean's return policy is second to none and employees couldn't have been more courteous and helpful.

Fit and style good. They had a very strong chemical odor when I took them out of the plastic bag they arrived in. The odor dissipated somewhat after I aired them out for a few days. They haven't been laundered yet so I don't know if the odor will be completely gone. If not, they will be returned.

I have multiple pits of these and find the fit inconsistent over the same size. I have also had issues of holes in the pockets on two pairs snifter normal use

These pants fit just as my regular LL Bean jeans in this size. It appeared to be made of the same quality of workmanship and material. I just didn't like the stretch fabric. I'll be donating these and someone else will love them.

too baggy , didn't like the fit

Looking for a comfortable pair of gray jeans and spotted these online. Happy with my successful search, I went ahead and ordered a pair in my usual jean size, 34" waist and 30" inseam. Upon trying them on after arrival I discovered 30" length to be too long. No problem I thought to myself as L.L.Bean has a quick and easy exchange program. So I ordered up the same jeans in the same color except in a shorter length at 29". I nervously awaited their arrival since I've never purchased a 29" length in any pair of pants before and was afraid of flood pants. But, alas, they were still too long and they even seemed as long as the first pair I tried. Don't know what to think but even after wash and dry they remain too long.

The waist size was good but the leg size was too snug.

It is strange that I usually wear a 34 waist so I purchased 34/32. The 34 waist fell off - too baggy. The 33 is comfortable but could have been 1/2 size larger. Although snug fit, I still need to wear a belt for them to stay put.

Waist is too low in back. Feel like a plumber bent over under the sink. Also too low in the front, but waaaay low in the back.

I have four pair of 1912 Standard fit jeans that fit perfectly. Three are the stretch fabric, which I like much better than regular. They tend to hold their shape. That said, the Standard Fit BeanFlex Jeans seem to be a different animal altogether. They fit in the waist but are considerably roomier in the mid thigh. I am not sure what the term "Flex" refers to that is not in the 1912 stretch. A bit lighter in fabric weight? Yes - maybe. Overall the jeans felt flimsy and somehow "off-sized". I returned them to a store in my area and shared my thoughts with the person in the men's department. He agreed the sizing was not the same as the 1912.

My LL Bean 1912 Stretch Jeans are among my favorite jeans. Those fit noticeably slimmer, and these are noticeably a more relaxed fit; even after washing. That's fine if you want that.... *** Details: I ordered 32/29, and although my 1912 Stretch Jeans are a 33/29, these are about an inch greater circumference through the leg. The stretchiness and fabric in general didn't seem that much different to me (casual wear) either. *** 3/5 Stars because the fabric is great, the stretchiness is great, the color is fine, I just prefer the fit of the '1912 Stretch Jeans' (slimmer).

The length of LLBean pants somehow is disappointed, could you make it shorter a little. Always getting length at 29 but somehow this one is longer

Fit & style good. However I was disappointed with the feel or texture. It was not as soft as other jeans I have bought.

Not really you have managed to make them as cheap as possible, no stitching on back pockets no loop for hanging up.

Too baggy after one wearing, stretch out easily I should have bought another style, not much help from the sales associate

When received they fit well, now baggy -look awful on!

Why eliminate standard fit? Causes baggy fit amd looks bad.

I'm finished! This pair of jeans is my second pair of this style, but I've had serious trouble with the zipper NOT locking when closed since I bought them in April 2024. Ev very time I wear them, I'm having to close the zipper constantly (every hour!). I tried to return them in December 2025, but was informed that the return window closed in April 2025. Too bad! Maybe it was a "bad batch" from the manufacturing plant. The constant threat of an "open fly" takes away from the fit and quality (otherwise).

Guys, for those of us who prefer to go commando at times, be aware that the zipper pull is poorly designed for such expensive jeans with sharp edges/surfaces that can be very uncomfortable (no rubber or plastic coating, no machining of edges). Just heads up.

Too loose in the leg & thigh. Material felt like good denim but fit didn't work so jeans were returned.

I have multiple pairs of these jeans, and the common issue is that they all severely rip at the seams, and no they are not snug or have any sort of constant pressure. Overall, their comfortability and breathability are nice, but they don't last more than a few months.

Jeans are advertised as athletic, however, they are tight thru the thighs. I could see my quads just walking. Returned them and went back to relaxed fit. If you're athletic or have any quad muscles, I recommend skipping these jeans

I ordered these by mistake, usually get the classic fit. these are too baggy
