Great Price; Baggier than expected
April 12, 2013
"I've loved Lee jeans forever. They have been the only ones with Petite sized jeans that fit me well. I purchased what I call regular "old-style" jeans with tapered legs 3-4 years ago after finding them cheaper at a Gainesville, TX Lee outlet store. Us shorter stature folks don't look good in the the new style "regular straight" legged bottoms -- actually look like the old bell-bottoms from the 1970's. So when I couldn't find the "tapered leg bottom" jeans in Dallas, TX stores I decided to try Lee Jeans website. Glad to find the side-elastic waist jeans with tapered legs. Listed as "relaxed fit", which I've preferred, I was somewhat SURPRISED that the "new relaxed fit" is unfortunately very baggy in the legs (thighs & calves areas)! Much more so than I actually expected and slightly disappointed. Would have hoped they had less material in the legs and fit a little better. I truly prefer the tapered leg, so will have to search Lee's website for possible other jeans."
Pros: Affordable
Cons: Not Stylish, legs too loose/too relaxed

Best fitting jeans
March 22, 2013
"A perfect fit - no need to shorten length as I usually must. The elastic waist offered immediate comfort. I love the plain back with no pockets,
Would like more color options - selection is very limited. [ordered size 12 petite]."

Love them!
January 31, 2013
"These are the ONLY jeans that fit me - I have worn them for YEARS. My only disappointment is that you have discontinued so many colors. I have a pair of light tan ones now that are wearing out, and I have had pink ones in the past. I also wear black a lot, and need to replace them as well, but you don't have them."
Pros: Affordable, Comfortable
Cons: limited color choices

Great Wearing Jeans
December 8, 2012
"These were my favorite jeans, now classics are. These are very comfortable to travel , drive, fly, or work in. I wear a size 6 & they are baggy . I love to work around the poodles, mine, fosters, & rescues in these jeans. ( I should get a size smaller ? for them to look better). These jeans are so well made but were made better when they were made in America. They last forever. I've had to replace zippers & buttons on several pair but they were about 5 years old. My friends tell me these jeans don't look good on me now that I'vestarted wearing the classics more.
They are a good weight jean for winter or cooler weather plus you can wear thermals under these if you are outside long periods. I love lee jeans. I've tried other brands & you could not pay me to wear them. I'm short & these jeans fit. I'm about 5'3" tall & weigh around 107 pounds."

"I've been wearing this style jeans for over 10 years - I love them! They fit well and I especially like the side elastic which fits my waist well and makes them comfortable. When Penney's stopped carrying them in the store, I was afraid Lee had stopped making them - please don't even consider this."
Pros: Stylish, Affordable, Comfortable

Pros: Affordable, Comfortable
Cons: lack of enough colors offered

Perfection I Don't Have to Worry aAout.
July 5, 2012
"I just got them a minute ago.
I just tried them on and I'm wearing them while I am typing you. I have no intentions of not loving the length, the flattering fit, the comfort and the basic color of black. I can breathe in and out, as if I am wearing my "jammies". The elastic waist is so OH, SO comfortable. Can you make them in olive green, light gray, dark gray, tan and dark brown, hunter green and camouflage? I'll buy them all. The size of 10 petite is dead accurate. Buy them too and enjoy, like me! Okay? Thanks."

Best Jeans Ever
June 12, 2012
"I have always been hard to fit. Lee jeans FIT. Once you find your size stick with it & you will always be happy. I look smaller than I am. I buy a size 16 petitie. The jeans have no gap at my back, I can wear a belt or not. The petite is the perfect length for me."
Pros: Stylish, Affordable, Comfortable, perfect fit everytime
Cons: none

My go-to jeans for years
May 6, 2012
"No other jeans fit as well, are as comfortable, and look as good. But PLEASE continue carrying these in BLACK! In black, they're one important step above the casualness of blue jeans. For me, that is indispensable."
Pros: Stylish, Affordable, Comfortable

Love the jeans
May 1, 2012
"Best jeans ever for full figure girl like me. It actually fits the waist with the elastic.
Only jeans I can buy without having them
taken in in the waist.
Wish they were in more colors though.
Would love to see a light gray and
spring colors.
But will keep buying them. Like the price
also. JC Penneys has raised theirs so I am buying direct now."
