Low Rise and...

Reviewed in Canada on 27 November 2021

Size: 14 TallColour: SeattleVerified Purchase

Seattle color ones shrunk a LOT. Cool dryer, warm wash.
I compared them afterwards to a pair of Lee 14 long jeans I had previously, they were over an 1 inch smaller at waist.

Very short zipper and rise.

Disappointed and sending back for a refund.

One more thing, fabric is thin if that is a concern.😔

Helpful votes are most appreciated!😊

Not the material it says they are

Ordered for my girlfriend, they say they are 98% cotton and 2% spandex however the tag in the jeans says 82% cotton / 17% polyester / 1% spandex. She wanted a traditional Jean not these light stretchy ones

FINALLY.....JEANS THAT FIT!.. SO WHY TWO STARS?

EDIT: LOVE THE FIT, but....they FADE faster than my Gloria Vanderbilt straight leg did. I wash in COLD water, the same way I did the Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, yet they look lighter black after much fewer washes. In fact, Vanderbilt jeans I've had for YEARS are darker than Lee's I have washed maybe five times. I only changed from Vanderbilts because they discontinued the style I liked.
So knocking down to TWO STARS. I like BLACK jeans because they look dressier, but not when they look beat up and faded about a handful of washes (in COLD WATER).

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING...for a replacement to the Amanda STRAIGHT LEG (they're TAPERED now) jeans by Gloria Vanderbilt. Finding a great-fitting, high-waisted pair of jeans seems like finding a pearl in an oyster...only harder.

I read the reviews and wasn't sure WHAT to expect. You don't know til you try them on. They just arrived, I quickly tried them and they are comparable in fit and style to the old straight leg Amanda's I bought for years.

I may even like them better! The legs fit just a tad tighter than the Amanda's but they are still straight leg (I like to wear with ankle boots with the boots in the INSIDE of the jeans). I wear with boots with a two inch heel and these seem perfect without hemming. (I am 5'4" and got the 8, I weigh about 153-155)..

I am in my sixties and like a high waist, a jean that pulls you in a bit (yay, spandex!) and the bit of stretch these have, I find flattering.

So if you're looking for something flattering and not interested in the skinny, low cut jeans, yet don't want jeans that look like baggy old lady jeans, these might work well :-).

Don't Sit Down

Dear Lee Brand Jeans,

Thank you for your LEE Women’s Instantly Slims Classic Relaxed Fit Monroe Straight Leg Jean. Your ingenious stretch blend & ideal waist placement delivers a slimmer look the moment I put these on. The fabric was designed with comfortable holding power & a hidden, slimming tummy panel. Until I sat down. Usually, advertised tummy panels do not work. They still have an amount of stretch to them that only slightly camouflages the mommy gut. But not your jeans! As soon as I sat down I felt like I had a book down the front of my pants. And my stomach fat flew up and over the top creating a perfectly executed muffin. If only these jeans were two inches higher in the rise, I wouldn’t mind the pending fungal infection in my belly button. And as a side note, I’m not sure you can have a straight leg that is also relaxed. It feels like I’m being cut in half at the top, and everything else is flying free down below.

These are never the same are they the defective ones?

Reviewed in the United States on 22 April 2020

Size: 16 TallColour: BlackVerified Purchase

I love Lee Jeans and have bought them for years but when you order these now they are never the same. Recently ordered the waist is really small but the rest of them fit and the pockets are very very shallow, can maybe get my fingers in just an inch or so. Sometimes they are really really long other time not, do you people use a pattern?? Sometimes the pockets are white on the inside sometimes they're black both though always have defects of some kind. Some things I have over looked but some are just ridiculous, you will never have 2 pair that fit the same.

Good Quality Pant But Way Too Small

Reviewed in the United States on 1 June 2022

Size: 22Colour: BlackVerified Purchase

I am so disappointed in these jeans. I previously ordered Lee Jeans in 18 and they were the perfect fit! I didn’t realize I would need to order a “relaxed fit straight leg” for them to be the perfect fit. Now I am stuck with a pair of jeans that are too small. The quality on them is great. And they are a solid black jean, but can’t even button them which feels like a huge size discrepancy to me. :/

Front pockets tear inside after only wearing them twice

Reviewed in the United States on 11 October 2020

I love these jeans, the fit, and the comfort. However, the 2nd time I wore them (and after only one wash), I put my hand into the right front pocket and my fingers went through the pocket and so now it’s ripped and I’m unable to use the front pocket of these jeans. It literally SHREDDED!!! I don’t know who to contact to see if I could get a replacement or not. Very heartbroken over this because most jeans don’t fit me right or are even comfortable and these were perfect for me until that happened!!!

What has happened to Lee sizing and fit?

Reviewed in the United States on 9 August 2017

Verified Purchase

Length is good for a long, that's about all the positive things I can say about the sizing of these jeans from a company that for many years has been my 'go-to' for a assured fit. #1 these are supposedly high-rise? I am beginning to think that the manufacturing companies have forgotten what high-rise actually is. These are below the waist. #2, worse, the sizing is completely off. I have several size 10L Lees from 4-5 years ago that are the same in the waist width. (I measured them next to each other). I bought the 14s after trying the 12 which honestly fit about the same as the 14. I could try a16 now, but frankly I don't think they're going to fit either. Very disappointing that Lee has so drastically changed over the last six years. And, #3, these had major moldy smell! Yuck.

Tiny pockets and uncomfortable

Reviewed in the United States on 6 July 2021

Size: 16 TallColour: SeattleVerified Purchase

Women's jeans are hard enough to buy but it's ridiculous when you can't buy the same size from the same brand. I own several pairs of Lee jeans and these were the same size as the other ones but they fit completely different and with a short waist they are very uncomfortable. Plus, they have worthless front pockets.

Not the best jeans I have owned

Reviewed in the United States on 4 November 2020

Size: 8Colour: SeattleVerified Purchase

I'm glad that I waited a week to submit my review. Lee's quality has degraded over the years. A seam is coming undone after a week of wearing. When they arrived, I noticed that the "straight" legs were actually tapered. I wasn't happy, but I could live with it. The material isn't as thick as I would have expected from a major brand either. The price was very good, but I can see why.
