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

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

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 really like the style and fit of these jeans. The only thing I didn't like was the very offensive odor that they had when they arrived. I've washed them 3 times and it is better, but still detectable. My wife bought a denim shirt on a totally separate order, and it smelled too. Wherever these denim products were made, there is a serious problem.

I ordered these because they are the same pants as a pair I really like I purchased previously that have a classic denim feel. The fabric content listed on the label matches what is listed in my older pair. Unfortunately, the new pair feels like plastic and after washing and drying on low temps, put out a strong plastic smell that hasn't dissipated after additional washing.

The rise is too low...turned into plumbers pants. Sizing seems to run small and long as well.

The fit is great. However, there is a strong chemical smell that has remained even after 3 washes. I have been hesitant to wear due to the smell which has been mentioned in several other reviews.

After a year I can not wear these jeans any more because they have shrunk so much. They are very tight and the cuffs are now above my ankles. All my other clothes are looser since I have lost weight and not surprisingly I have not grown taller since it was last century when my height last changed.

You've changed the fit of these pants and taken away Standard Fit as an option. You changed the fit and superimposed the new label and fit onto the old "standard" label AND website so it looks like everyone loves the fit! No - we love the old fit. Bring back Standard Fit!

The fabric was heavy and way too elastic. A little elasticity is good but the waist could be stretched an additional size or more which is too much.

The jeans are nice, but I was having a problem peeing and couldn't figure out why. I was afraid that it had something to do with my kidney transplant, and that was very depressing. It took a while before I noticed that it only happened when I wore by LLBean jeans but not with Levi's. And then I figured out the problem: my size is 35x29. And someone at LLB decided that I should have a short. I measured and sure enough my LLB fly was more than an inch shorter than that on my 35x29 Levi's.
But I don't know how I could have ordered a regular. It is not one of the choices allowed.
Also I have washed the jeans so I don't think they are eligible for an exchange.

My husband didn't like the fit or fabric of these jeans. He liked the more traditional jeans better. We will be returning these and buying another pair of the Double L jeans. The Beanflex jeans weren't bad, he just liked the Double L jeans better.

I liked the 1912 jeans as they had a more modern, slim fit than Double L jeans. These are same fit, but with stretchy material. Very comfortable but not sure I like it as much as plain denim. Also, permanent stretch lines across the front from wait to crotch look sloppy to me. Wish they still sold the 1912 jeans in regular denim fabric.
