Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Jeans Standard Fit in Katahdin Brown

I love stretch jeans, but these may be too stretchy. I find after each wear I need to wash them to get them close to the original fit, but even then they are much larger than when I bought them. I do love the black wash and the color holds up well, the weight of these is perfect for all seasons, very soft and comfortable and fit true to size. I like the lower rise of these and the slight taper, fit great when I first bought them. Just the waist and thighs stretch very easily and I have to keep pulling them up (have not lost any weight).

Very comfortable jeans with the stretch for an older man.

Waist sizes run larger than indicated, 32" is closer to 34".

Fit was right. Pockets great. Overall well made. Liked unusual color (brownish). No obvious signage on shelves indicating flex/stretch fabric very stretchy & hate it.

Pretty tight but otherwise fine. Seem a little tight but a belt would help.

Exactly what we were looking for, fabric, style and fit are all great. We especially appreciate the availability of a 28 inch inseam. Only down side is trying to figure out the sizing explanations. Previous order was a different fit range, no longer offered under that explanation. These seem the same, but are listed under a new fit description. Some of us like the same old thing that works, not an expedition of trial and error.

Fit as advertised. Very comfortable, but in severe need of extra belt loops, especially in front. Belt rides up on those who might be a bit more portly in the lower belly as there aren't any belt loops close to zipper. L

I have purchased several of these jeans, once I discovered them about five years ago. The only issue I have had is that, over time with repeated washings, they have shrunk to the point where they become much tighter. I do not dry with high heat - I actually leave them damp and hang them to air dry the rest of the way. This does not happen until after the one-year return period is over, so be aware. They will still look good, but not fit well.

Only jeans I've ever wornthese fit a little tighter in back than the Classic fit but still feel good.

These jeans are comfortable, stylish, and versatile. They are also easy to maintain.

Pros - Very comfortable in movement. Love that these sit below the waist rather than at the waist. One of the only styles here that does that. Used to only buy jeans at the "other" company that starts with the letter "L", great satisfaction with them until they discontinued all models that sit below the waist. Too bad because they also allowed choosing inseam down to the quarter of an inch during ordering. Really like the flex aspect of these jeans for comfort. Cons - This style seems fairly thin for jeans. We will see how they wear, but they seem more for casually going out for errands than for going to work (or working in the yard) and needing substantive jeans. Time will tell. I do like them, but am left wanting for other jeans for other situations.

Great fitting, comfortable pants. one suggestion, the zipper needs be a 1/2 inch longer.

Nice and flexible medium weight jeans with multiple color, waist & length options. Mine with regular use & variable conditions were prone to knees wearing out (converted to shorts, no issues in crotch). Will definitely buy again.

Like the fabric, color and style. Would have preferred the regular standard fit vs. standard athletic, but these were on a good sale.

comfortable but a little too stretchy. could almost use a size smaller

The stitching on the outer leg seam is a problem. I have 4 or 5 pair and the stitching comes apart. From the knee up is the problem.

The jeans are well made and a perfect fit but strangely they had a weird smell of what we characterized as "moldy". Took almost 10 washes to get the smell out.

Overalll comfort for jeans, that I was looking for. They seem to run just a bit on the small side however.

Great pair of Jeans. Very comfortable and look great too!

I wasn't sure the stretch fabric would work, but it does. The trade-off is they're not as substantial as the Double L jeans I normally wear. Still, on the whole, I like them. I do NOT like the two belt loops closely spaced on either side of center in the back; this is my third pair of LL Bean pants with this "feature"; all of them have been extra-cost versions of regular Double L products. I prefer a single belt loop centered in back; it's how I hang them on the coat tree. Also, I prefer 7 belt loops-- three on each side plus the one in the rear. I have a pair of jeans like that, from before I lost weight. They're going to Good Will because I can't wear them anymore. Not sure if the 7 belt loops is because they're older, or larger. If I have to order a 34 waist to get 7 belt loops, I'm out of luck.

Ordered what I thought was the same style by referencing the model number but the stitching was different on the back pocket and the fit is not the same. Close but I may do some shopping befor I order from L L Bean again.

This is a good product that gives room to move and be comfortable while wearing. Ordered one par in 36x36 as they are long enough but now are no longer available. Please continue to provide this standard fit pat for tall men. Can't see what I am writing so hopefully typos will be fixed.

These jeans are comfortable and easy to wear. They wash well, but the light color has a slight odor that doesn't seem to go away. The darker colors didn't have an odor.

I hadn't noticed the streaky dye patterns in the catalog picture, but they're pretty obvious in the jeans themselves. When I look again, yeah, those things that look like wrinkles are actually irregularities in the dye. Well, ok. Next time I'll know to be more suspicious going in.

Pricy but the quality is really good and fits perfectly.
