What customers are saying:
Overall, customers really appreciate the comfortable, stretchy feel and modern look of these jeans, with many enjoying the well-executed taper below the knee and freedom of movement they offer. Many customers noted that the fit—especially around the hip, seat, and thigh—may call for a size adjustment, with a few suggesting sizing down for a better waist fit. There’s also a strong vibe for the jeans being ideal for active, athletic builds, as they provide generous room in the hip and thigh area while still offering a contemporary style. Additionally, some customers mentioned the fabric’s lightweight nature makes it perfect for warmer days, suggesting it might better suit summer or fall wardrobes.

J Crew, get your sizing consistent PLEASE!
April 26, 2026I got these for my husband who has always worn 1040 jeans. I had to send back two pair before we got the waist size right. I held them up to his other 1040 jeans when they both came out of the dryer and even though these are waist size 32 they’re exactly the same waist as his 34 1040 jeans. We will need to have them hemmed however because even though these are 30 inch length they are at least 4 inches longer than his other 30 inch length 1040 jeans. They’re nice jeans, but J.Crew needs to do something about consistency with sizing. This is not the first time.

Too long
March 12, 2026I purchased these with the understanding that they sit low, but they were so long I think I need to get leg surgery to extend my legs. I even ordered my normal size but still too long. Additionally the color darker than what the picture seemed to show. I have returned them

Stretch Jeans
February 18, 2026I find these jeans a bit loose in the waist and more stretchy than I was expecting. That said they feel great and look cool.
