Great jeans!

2 years ago
The quality and look of these pants are 10/10! Anything by Levi’s is always great. These are very comfortable and amazing to wear but I have one con and that is why they aren’t 5 stars. I’m a mom so when I have to go to the bathroom all those buttons can be kind of in the way. Other than that they really are lovely and I know they will work great for other people. Love the color of these pants I’ve been wearing them quite frequently throughout this winter! They easily can be styled and mixed with many different things in my closet. I’d say get them!

I want to like the jeans they seem like they’re good quality but unfortunately they didn’t fit and were too tight even though they are suppose to be baggy.

Good quality but not a good fit

2 years ago
Levi’s is the brand that everyone loves for their well fitting denim and its durability. This pair of jeans look comfortable and durable, but I would not say I’m in love with the pattern or fit. They look good on the upper part of my body, but not as flattering on the bottom due to the tapered leg fit.

Not in love with the print but they’re pretty comfortable

2 years ago
I feel like I could’ve sized down to get a slimmer look. They are really oversized on me but just a hint loose on my waist. I didn’t realize the print was this stripy in real life. It looks like one solid color from afar. Not bad but not good.

Too tall for this

2 years ago
Im 172cm tall and was hoping for a baggier look at the bottom. But it definitely isn’t which is kind of disappointing (i got the longest size) , so if you’re 170cm+ keep that in mind.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pinstripe what?

2 years ago
Thought I was buying black jeans but turns out they were pinstripe? Ugh. Returned. I thought it was just a failure for me but when I looked back at the product description, there was not a mention of pinstripe… only one vague pic of a butt that I didn’t even scroll to because why would I when every other pic looks like BLACK jeans. Personally I take 50% of the blame. But still annoying.

Too long for me

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 5'3. Jeans have to be very special for me to justify alteration. These didn't make the cut. Back they went. Wish they had petites.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Weird falling at the ankle

3 years ago
Scrunches up at the ankles for me, but the shorter length is too short. Have to roll up the jeans or tailor them to fit them perfectly without bunching up at the end, which looks weird.

Thanks for your feedback, it's super important to us! We’ll make sure it ends up in the right hands. Our designers carefully consider every detail when designing something, and every choice they make is for a reason, whether they’ve got functionality in mind, are trying to give our customers something they’ve been asking for, or are following their inspiration. That being said, the same pair of jeans will fit everyone a little differently! So you know, we have a 60-day return policy if you’re not satisfied with your product. And, you can always find more information at https://help.levi.com/hc/en-us, or start a chat with us on the bottom right of the help center if you’d like further assistance!

Great but not keen on pattern

Great fit but not keen on the pinstripe pattern. This wasn’t clear on the photos or in the description so sadly returned them

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not the best fit

3 years ago
For comparison I am a waist 27 in the ribcage jeans. I got waist 27 length 31 in the black wash and it was a little baggy at the back and bunched up at the ankle a little on my 5’6” frame. However the crotch area was a little too baggy, I think these are made for those with wider hips or maybe a bigger butt, overall decided to return these and get a size 26 to see if the back gaping would be fixed and the crotch wouldn’t be so baggy

Color looks pin-striped

2 years ago
The quality and fit is as usual - excellent. But this wash is not shown well on line. When they arrived I thought I had gotten the wrong jeans because they have a pin-stripe look. When I went back and looked hard at the photos on line I could kind of make it out, but it's not clear. And it's not cute.

Runs small

2 years ago
Unlike other reviewers, I actually like the pin stripes on these jeans. However, I ordered my usual size in Levi's and these are way too small. Really strange, because I received other Levi's jeans, same size, fit fine.

wrong size/mis-tagged

I’ve exchanged this item twice now because it is mis-tagged. Levi’s 30 x 31 does not equal size 26. Unfortunately I can’t review a size that doesn’t fit. Quality control needs some work

No, I do not recommend this product.

Really hated the stripes on the pants, thought it would be faint. I had to return because even though they fit great the design of the stripes is so ugly.
