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

I think this is the only item that I have bought from L L. Bean and sent back because I didn't like the design. The BeanFlex material looks like denim, but feels like spandex. It was not what I was expecting. It is way too stretchy.

I bought these a little over a year ago on August 20, 2022. I wore them twice and found them to be improperly sized. The waist was too large for a size 31 and the legs on the baggy size. After wearing them they stretched and became extremely baggy. Have no worn them in the past 11 months. Would like to return them for a better fitting pair of jeans, but they are over the 1 year return date. Please advise

i have been buying LL Bean's jeans for over 30 years. These jeans are the wort pair I have ever worn. The fabric feels like plastic and irritates my skin. I will be returning these jeans. There is no comparisson between the BeanFlex Jeans and the 1912 Jeans. Please bring back the 1912 Jeans.

poor fit and cheap material. my Duluth are much nicer

It did not feel like jeans at all. As a larger individual, the were more form fitting and would make me look big. And the jeans were a lot lighter in weight. Sent them back for a replacement.

When I got the pants I tried them on and they fit fairly well. I looked at the price on the pants and it said the pants cost 10.00 less than what I paid online. I decided that they were not worth over spending for so I sent them back.

The pants don't rise to the hips. Inseam is shorter than advertised. Fly is poorly sewnzipper is always exposed! Difficult to keep on!

These jeans both run fully a full size over in the waist. There is a pair of belt loops that straddle the rear seam and Perry suspenders will not work. First 2 pair of Jeans I have not been happy with.

PLEASE NOTE I HAD ALREADY GONE ON LINE AND SUBMITTED A REVIEW PRIOR TO RECEIVING THIS EMAIL REQUEST , HOWEVER I AM SENDING THIS AGAIN IN HOPES SOMEONE IN THE COMPANY WILL READ THIS. I actually really loved these pants when I first purchased them. Then I washed them, by themselves for the first wash, as per label instructions for temperature and dryer setting. Upon inspection before wearing them I noticed a brownish stain on the rear pocket below the attached leather LL Bean pad. I immediately wondered what was in my washer, or my pants pockets etc. Well there was nothing, and then I noticed a discoloration to that leather LL Bean pad. I took a clean piece of paper towel and pressed it into the dampened leather patch and found that a brownish color had transferred to the paper towel. I wet the leather a bit more and found color that bled out onto the paper towel even darker. To my dismay I have to assume that the stain on the pants is now permanent.

This is my 2nd pair of these--same size, style etc but fit is completely different. Longer by 1+ inches, and looser in waist and legs. Repeated washing has not helped. Probably should have returned earlier.

Product is so stretchy they should really be referred to as lounge pants instead of jeans. I ordered my usual size, and I could easily pull the waist line 3 or 4 inches away from my body.

I purchased these in the regular size that I get for the 1916 standard fit that are no longer available. The where way too loose so I ended up going to a nearby LLBean store. I tried on the next size and they fit better in the waist but super tight in the thighs. They told me these are the replacement pants. So after many years, I cannot now get the pants that fit me the best. The style of LLBean and quality has been going down hill over the years. It's not the same store...becoming less outdoors style and just another retailer.

I purchased these jeans in color sandbar and returned them. The jeans do not fit as pictured, They are baggy and the legs are way too wide. The fabric is too elastic and stretches like a rubber band. LL Bean needs to offer a Jean in this color in Standard Fit, not flex.

These pants are obviously made for bean stick teenagers. While I have a trim 36" waist and ordered the correct size they fit like an elastic glove. Don't mistake these as being on par with L L Bean traditional jeans. I returned the two pair I ordered.

They stink of formaldehyde. We tried washing them but they came out worse.

Poor design. Very baggy in seat, thighs, and calves. I returned them.

Baggy in the legs, should have ordered classic fit

I had to order a new pair of jeans as this pair is too long. What HAPPENED TO the jeans THAT had the number 298663 jeans that fit perfectly?

Very disapppointed with LLB. This is my third attempt to get a pair that fits like my last one. One measured 1.5" too short, and now this one is too long. Also the standard fit is not the same. I'll try a slim. Also the return label is missing!

Unfortunately, this pair of jeans had been worn before, by someone else. I am reasonably sure of this. There were distinctive wear creases across the front of the jeans and behind the knees. I didn't notice this very real proof of previous wear until I picked them up at the tailor after having them shortened. (Note: he didn't wear them, I promise). I am a frequent, repeat customer of L.L. Bean and have purchased other BeanFlex products (and many others) and am very satisfied with fit and quality. I believe L.L.Bean has excellent products and customers will rarely have problems of products purchased.

I purchased the same pants last year 35w x 34L and fit perfectly. This year I purchased 2 pairs, same size, and they are at least 1 inch larger in the waist. I washed and dried them hoping they would shrink but was they did not shrink at all. I can't wear them.

We had high hopes for these because we figured since they were LLBean and the for the price they'ed be quality. Out of the three pairs we opened, two of the pairs had one leg that was 3 inches longer than the other leg. They also had a very strong chemical odor, that we've only experienced in really inexpensive jeans.

I bought 3 pair, all different colors but same cut. Standard they all fit differently. VERY differently especially in the crotch. Waste and length. Super disappointed still all bean fan but I'll never buy pants from them ever again

Ordered a 29" length and they were much longer. Also much baggier in the legs than a comparable same sized jean that I have purchased previously.
