Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Jeans Slim Straight

Very happy with the fit, finish, and quality of these jeans. Extremely comfortable and they look great. Ive never had jeans with a stretch waist (nor have I needed them), but these are great and Id highly recommend. They are a slimmer fit without hugging my legs.

Comfortable and great looking will buy again True to size

Okay, but but the zipper is rough and balky. Also, the back pockets, while deep enough to hold my wallet, would be better if they were maybe a half-inch deeper to better contain my 6-inch phone. Otherwise the fit was fine and the flex fabric made the jeans easy to wear.

LLBean always makes things right so there is no way I would not be happy with the fit. We'll see about how they wear but I have great confidence. That said, I would have preferred a washed jeans (more blue, less black) look rather than the washed indigo look.

Great jeans. True to size, usually wear 32x30, and these fit well. I particularly like that they have a regular rise but also have a tapered leg. I feel like most tapered jeans sit too low on my waist. Not true here. LL Bean, make stonewashed too!

These run large for me probably should have exchanged them for a little smaller waist

I bought 2 pair of your lightweight summer jeans with CoolMax years ago and finally wore them out. They were my favorite jeans. That's what I thought I was getting with the Beanflex. But they are heavy weight. They also don't fit--too baggy. I can't comment on quality and wearability because I sent them back. So not fair to rate them but a rating was required.

These are a bit baggy for a slim fit. I thought they would be more tapered to the leg.

Nice pair of jeans but was a little disappointed in the rise dimension being too tall

Have two other pairs of these same stock number jeans that fit fine. Pair just received are being returned as they do not fit the same - too big in butt and thighs. Have worn LL Bean jeans exclusively for years, but apparently now have to shop elsewhere.

After two returns, I was able to find the best fit for me on these jeans. A couple months later, I ordered another of the same pair. Unfortunately, despite having the same exact style number, the leg was much wider than my initial pair and seem more like "relaxed fit" legs rather than "straight fit". It appears that there is little consistency in fit from batch to batch.

Fabric was heavier than I had hoped and the crotch area hung too low - droopy.

Very short zipper, love everything else but thr miniature zipper is a downer

LL Bean products tend to lean towards the bg size. First time i've bought 33/29 jeans. I've been a 34/30 for years.

While the slacks were of slim/straight cut, they were still too baggy for my husband. Good quality and was sorry they didn't fit to his liking.

Way too big for slim fit. Not wanting skinny jeans, just too much material used.

I've been buying the "slim fit" versions of these jeans since they were released a few years back. Initially, these jeans were indeed slim fit, almost too much so, but over the years, every time I buy a couple new pairs, they get bigger. Bought a few pairs last year and they were much bigger and baggier than the old versions. Didn't mind so much since the original versions were a tad too slim, basically skinny. Bought a couple more just last week and these are even bigger than the ones I bought last year; bigger in the waist, thigh, and ankle opening. These might be slim fit relative to the rest of LL Bean's fits, but they would be considered a regular or even relaxed fit in nearly every other brand of jeans. While the original versions I bought years ago were a little too skinny, I'm worried now that LL Bean is over correcting with these updated fits and making them too large. LL Bean is one of the only companies that sells jeans in a 29" inseam for us shorter guys, so I'd really like to keep buying from them, but I also like my jeans on the slimmer rather than baggier side. The vintage dark dye also smells really bad on these new ones, which wasn't an issue on the older versions.

Not so slim in the thigh, otherwise true to size. Disappointed.

I purchase 2 pairs of these pants in the same order. One pair was clearly slim fit however the second pair was noticeable not slim fit cut although the SKU and size shown on the tag in the pants said they were. I'm going to return them and pick a different color in hopes they will be properly sized. Other than the size problem I like the pants.

I purchased these jeans because they were described as slim fit. I would not consider them slim, as they are a much looser fit than other LLB trim fit jeans. The material does have much flex, which makes them seem even looser. Whether you like that stretch is a personal choice. Because of the built in stretch I would recommend purchasing a waist size one inch less than for non stretch pants. The jeans are not warm for colder weather. I keep the jeans and wear them primarily as summer jeans. I have noticed a few places on the upper thighs where the material may have caught on something and there are ends of stretch fabric sticking out a quarter inch or more. My personal preference is jeans which are 99% or 100% cotton. If one likes the stretch then these jeans should be considered.

I ordered a pair with a 32" waist and a 30" inseam, the same size as a pair of LL Bean sunscreen cargo pants. The inseam on these pants was an inch and a half longer that the cargo pants. Right now these pants are at a clothing alteration place getting cuffs.

Not a great fit, material quality is fair, and leg length measures approximately 1.5 inches too long.

Too much flex. Feels like these pants are constantly falling down.

They're longer than expected. I've worn a 31x32 for years. I even have a pair of the flannel lined slim fit LL Bean jeans that are the same size. These jeans sit higher on the waist and go lower to the ground. I am going to reorder a 31x30

Very loose fitting and more of a straight leg. The flex is great but again not a slim cut jean.
