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

I will admit I haven't bought a pair of LL Bean jeans in a few years but my last pair had stitching on the rear pockets, the inside pockets and waist band were made of mattress ticking and they even had a fabric loop to hang them on a hook. All these features made them fun to wear. All these touches are gone in the placements I bought. Now there is nothing, in my opinion, to set them apart from any other pair of jeans...such a pity.

I have several pairs of these jeans and absolutely love them for about 6 months. Then, without fail, they begin shrinking and tightening with every wash. We have tried hot and cold wash cycles; we have tried air-drying, no heat drying, medium heat drying. No matter what we do, these jeans seem to change shape and size over time. Jeans that fit perfectly when I bought them are now high-waters that sit above my ankle and are very tight in the legs. Would not recommend this product.

Excellent material, sizes are much larger than advertised

Liked everything about the jeans except that the fly is too short! The zipper is only 5" long whereas other LLB khakis are 6" or so and Carhartt pants are 6" to 6 1/2". Short fly is extremely inconvenient! Returning for that reason. If fly gets longer, I would re-purchase.

Seems like everywhere, everyone is trying to save a penny and cut corners now. You would think a company that supposedly makes quality products at a decent cost would not. But they've started, the product has a coin pocket with 2 rivets like jeans have always been made. Now they've eliminated the one rivet to save money for themselves but not charge any less for the jeans. Which means now paying 60 dollars and up for jeans, the pocket now rides up and starts bunching up on itself, which is super f-ing and annoying! Great job for ruining all your jeans to save a buck.

I have had these jeans before and have loved them, but these have terrible folds toward the top of the jeans. I would like to exchange them or get a refund. Please let me know.

Well made but fit not good for my husband. Too baggy. Returned for another style but haven't received yet.

nice material. Waist and inseam fit well. fly is too short and zipper is skimpy, plastic suitable for a skirt.

These trousers are cut with way too much room for me. I am 5' 9" and weigh 175. The seat and legs are far too roomy for the style of flex/jean I was hoping to receive.

Size runs larger than my usual Jeans that would fit. Jeans are made really well though.

Not really the color I thought I was ordering. The material is really strange. Not sure what it is made out of.

The 37" waist is about 38" (I could buy even sized jeans at Target for half this sale price). The zipper is 5"; 6" is a near universal men's standard (or were these intended to be "unisex"). The watch pocket is less than 2" wide, unlike the Double L 3.5', which easily stores a swiss army knife. The stretchy fabric is much thinner than Double L. Other than the width, however, the fit is OK.

Cheaply made and seams are wearing down after one month of wearing. Moreover the stretch fabric they use is buckling near the pockets. I'm a smaller sized person and these pants fit loose on me so I have no clue why this is already happening. I do not recommend these pants. The only reason I am giving 2/5 is because of the custom length/inseam down to 28 is nice.

After the first time wearing them the back of the legs were all frayed. We haven't even washed them yet.

This is a replacement for the last LlBean jeans which while not old but the seams all split

These are really nice pants but after wearing one time they stretched and the fit changed. They were a"perfect fit" when I tried them on. After a day off wearing they stretched just enough to say in the butt and generality for just a little looser than I like. I will be returning them. That being said, they are very nice pants.

This was one of the best jean materials I've worn. Just the right amount of stretch, but the calves were way too wide, even if wearing boots. I returned them.

I ordered a different Jean with 35" waist that fit perfectly but this Jean measurement was 5" off and I was unable to get anywhere near buttoning them and will have to return

Too big for Standard fit. Too much stretch, not enough cotton %. Generally too big.

After washing an unusual dot to dot pattern with black streaks on both front and back of pant. Very weird. Nothing else in my washer or dryer got this pattern in black on it. Exchanging for another color choice.

The front pockets are extremely shallow. Easy to lose a smart phone.

I bought these because of the fit which is good. But the denim is noticeably thinner than my regular jeans as are the pockets. Poor quality for the price.

Like so many jeans with a bit of stretch in them, these lose their shape too quickly. And once they do, that's it until laundry day. They fit nicely out of the dryer, but within an hour, hang too loosely and stay that way. Very comfortable for bending, kneeling, etc and the color was good, but I'm 50/50 on keeping vs. returning. But I won't be buying stretchy jeans anymore.

This item did not look anywhere near the depicted picture description.It was much more faded then the color shown and had faded bars across the front. I usually order the classic fit in dark wash and these appeared the same in the picture. I was really looking forward to the flex fit which fit well, but did not look as advertised. Returned both ...

They fit great and felt super comfortable....BUT after wearing them for 4 hours they began to bag and loose their shape. Maybe if I bough a size smaller, they would fit like skin tight jeans for 4 hours before loosening up to the right fit. At 57, I do not want to be in skinny jeans for even 4 hours.
