Lee Men's Relaxed Fit Straight Leg Jean

The quality is not "Lee" worthy. I received the Lee Jean on August 9th. After a few laundry cycle I noticed that there was a hole near the back left pocket about the size of a nickel where there are only vertical threads. The horizontal threads are gone. Then after a couple more times through the wash it is now December 15th and one of the belt loops has broken away and is flapping in the breeze. Not getting any more iconic Lee Jeans.

“Back in the day” I wore Lee jeans, partly because I wanted to be different from the Levi’s crowd, and partly because (believe it or not!) I preferred the placement of the belt loops over other jeans. Yes, I’m a bit strange.For whatever reason I began wearing other brands - partly I suspect because Lee became nearly unavailable. Over the last several years I’ve worn Wrangler. They are easily available at Target, are priced well and various fittings are normally in stock. I took to wearing relaxed fit.When I decided to have at least one pair of black jeans (my lame attempt to be fashionable) I looked around since black wasn’t readily available from Wrangler at Target, and the quality wasn’t quite what I was looking for.I decided to try Lee based on reviews here, and I ordered the relaxed fit. Relaxed? I’d same Tent Size is more accurate! I returned them for regular fit, which are much better. When I lose the 4-7 kgs I’m working on, a slimmer fit will probably work better.The major thing I like about these jeans is the quality. The denim is heavy enough to have a substantial feel/hand. And the black brand patch on the back is quite nice, lending a sophisticated look.I’ve only worn these once and washed them once. I washed them separately, of course, on gentle and dried on low. They look good after the wash, so it looks like maybe the colour will hold.

I am a relatively lean man, 6'2" and about 185 lbs. I wear a 33 waist and 32-34 length. I absolutely HATE tight fitting jeans (slim cut, boot cut, etc). Almost every pair of jeans that they carry in stores like Kohls and Macys are tight on my legs. I don't understand this obsession that society apparently has with tight jeans.These Lee's are amazing and relatively comfortable. I ordered 33-32 and they are a perfect fit all around.They also seem very well made and I'm sure will last years.In terms of comfort, they aren't the best, but aren't bad. I own a couple pairs of expensive jeans (Rock & Republic, Lucky) that are made of "stretchy" fabric and they are incredibly comfortable, like as comfortable as sweat pants. These Lee's aren't stretchy like that, they are typical denim feel. But I wear them for work and they are just fine.I will definitely buy more of these in different colors.

I've been purchasing 32 Length Lee jeans for years, and they used to fit perfectly. Now I receive jeans that are two (2) inches longer than previous purchases,Why? They also measure five (5) inches bigger in the waist then I requested! Relaxed fit used to mean slightly baggier; with a 70% cotton 30% polyester blend that meant lighter, slightly elastic jeans. Now it means all cotton jeans that are too baggy. I kept the jeans in hopes they would shrink - NO SUCH LUCK! Since the Lee Label indicated I received the size I ordered, how can you buy clothes online and expect to get a proper fit without trying clothes on as I did as a child!

I have a hard time finding jeans because I have a smaller waist and a large set of adductor group muscles (talking about muscle group, nothing dirty). I found these a few years ago, but they keep changing the cut between colors, so I have to order multiple colors to get the fit I want. Listing fits below, I really wish they all fit the same, I hate the Larsen's, they fit so wierd... but they fit.2055554 - Larsen - Hate the Fit2055556 - Inferno - Ok Fit2055549 - Worn Light - Ok Fit2055558 - Python - Perfect, love these jeansOverall, would buy again, and will buy again because I love how some of the colors fit. So in closing, if you get them, get multiple colors so you can send the ones back that you don't like how they fit.

The waste & length on these jeans is exactly like the 38X29 jeans I've been getting for years. ( Wrangler & Lee). I 've been getting "Regular fit, Straight legs" & they're fine. I got these "Relaxed fit" just to try out. Well... for ME, they're much looser in the legs than I expected. I won't be getting any more Relaxed fit jeans. I will say, they are very well made, should last as long as any other jeans, Belt loops are wide enough for a western belt.I believe these are "genuine", not knock-offs. One GOOD thing about these is that I can easily pull the legs up above my knees so I can get a cortisone shot or knee exam. at the Drs. without dropping my pants. (Can't do that with regular fit) I wasn't sure what "Tarmac" was going to look like. They are colored exactly like the picture. The legs are a little bigger around than the picture.

Ordered as comparison to Wrangler and Sam's Club jeans. These jeans fit very well, denim is of average density, but well-made vs Sam's. Has significan color run in black- washed 3 times, used color-catcher strips on 4th wash. Wore Lee's jeans for 20 or so years, crusing timber, deckhand on tugs, etc, duriing College breaks, but quality became very poor in 80's. Thinner denim used, poor seam guality. Decided give a try again now. Very pleasantly surprised- fits well, seams strong again, denim much higher quality than when stopped wearing 30- plus years ago.Color run as expected for black jeans - just be smart, don.t wash with light-colored clothes for a year or so. People such as me, who do not like tight-fitting clothes, and order "relaxed fit" for comfort and room, can easily use straight or regular fit jeans (if you order actual waist size). I think I have changed my preferred brand of every-day jeans. Rated five stars for fit and quality.

A very comfortable and well made jeans as I would expect from LEE. As a customer of 40+ years I always purchased the same size and "fit". These are certainly more LOOSE than they are RELAXED fit. Also, the length I ordered (34) seems to be about 2 inches too long. Great product but sloppy sizing.

High waisted, denim slightly elasticated plus loose fit makes for comfort. Also being American or Mexican produced to be exact means better quality I think and a reasonable price also.

These were ordered for my Brother In Law. These are his second purchase from the same seller and he is once again very pleased with them.

I've bought Lee jeans before and have always found them excellent quality and a good fit - the latest pair are just as good.

May be OK for your average street corner gangster, but not for a 68 year old!!! Sent them back (to USA - and I have to pay up front!) and am holding my breath for refund!!
