Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Standard Fit Jeans in Dark Vintage

The leather patch sewed to the waistline oozed dye onto these pants (and other garments washed in the same load). I notice that there are at least a couple of other reviews that cite the same problem. Upon reflection, I had bought a pair of white Bean Flex jeans a couple years ago and had similar issues albeit to a lesser extent - most notable staining other clothes. But, I never "connected the dots" until it happened again now (& much more dramatically). I contacted customer service and they have been very helpful regarding a return & refund. I have also bought these jeans before in blue and black and not noticed this problem - probably due to the dark color of the pants.

I really love these jeans, super comfy, but after wearing them about 5-6 times. Both back pockets have holes at the top where the pant is ripping.

I bought this item because I liked other 2 colors my daughter gave me as her gifts. I ordered Gray Wash and Dark Vintage my self. So, I have 4 different colors with same size. However, Gray Wash is clearly much tighter than other 3 colors. I really like the color of Gray Wash and wanted to keep it, but I decided to return it instead of exchange, because I was not sure if the replacement has correct size or has the same problem. If the size was OK as advertised, this would be a great item.

I always purchase L.L. Bean jeans because the quality is hard to beat. I purchased two pairs of these jeans online. They fit perfectly well and are very comfortable. However, out of the package, they smelled like bad body odor. I have washed them several times and cannot get that retched smell out of them. I have tried every brand of laundry pod available. Since I cannot return them, I'll keep washing them in hopes that eventually the smell will disappear.

I bought these to serve as "dress up" jeans and liked how they fit and looked. Then they got washed. The leather patch sewed to the waistline oozed dye onto these pants and other garments in the wash. We first noticed the problem because of a rectangular stain on a pair of my wife's jeans in the same load. Then an inspection of the LL BeanFlex jeans showed us the culprit. I found another one star review from 2022 with the same problem. I bought my jeans in late 2024. Why is LLBean still buying these laundry day disasters and selling them to us?

1) Pants smell bad like flammable petroleum even after washing. 2) Pants arrived late it took 2-weeks to get them. Very lame system generated apology

Never received them. We are waiting for a call from your customer service team as they try to track down the status of the order.

The jean was mislabeled with the wrong length. The jean was too long by inches. The jean was returned.

The jeans fit, but they don't feel good and don't look good. Jeans should be like an old friend - comfortable and easy to wear. Due to the Spandex material, you are constantly aware of these jeans - they are not comfortable and I have been trying to decide whether or not to donate them to the Goodwill. I probably should have returned them.

LL Bean zippers are poor quality. This is 3rd pair where the zipper failed. Like the fit and feel though.

Jeans didn't fit even though purchased same size as another pair of LL Bean jeans. It was very disappointing that I could not exchange without paying return shipping fees after working twice with customer support. Based on policy moving on to other retailers.

No matter how many washings I couldn't get the sulfur smell out of them. I suppose it's how "vintage" is achieved. The legs are tapered and when they stretch they don't return to shape.

I wanted a pair of normal, comfortable jeans and these are not it. The material stretches but it's thinner than regular denim. I do not like wearing them and definitely do not recommend.

Too baggy. Terrible fit. Also had to pay for return

After receiving them and wearing them a few times, my wife started to complain I kept moving around when I was sitting with them. I realized the stretchy material made it feel like the pants legs were slowing sliding up. This stretchy material is horrible.

I already completed a review which you refused to post.

Hated these. Super thin super stretchy material was like womens Jeggings

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.
