What customers are saying:
Many customers enjoy the denim’s comfortable stretch, attractive washes, and overall quality that make these jeans a versatile wardrobe staple. Several customers noticed that the sizing can be inconsistent—with some finding them a bit large and others feeling the slim cut may be too tight—so a careful look at the fit details is recommended. Customers with athletic builds appreciated the roomier thigh area but some suggested considering a size adjustment if you prefer a less snug look. Overall, the jeans are praised for their stylish design and comfort, making them a popular choice despite the sizing variations.

Solid Jean
1 week agoI struggle to find true athletic fit jeans, but these are close. Taper is a little snug around the calves, but all in all a quality jean. I wish they made more washes.

I wouldn't call these Blue Jeans
August 26, 2025So thin and cheaply made. I'm not sure you can call these Jeans. Runs bigger in the waist and seat than the old style 1040. So disappointing.

These are awesome jeans
February 26, 2025This is the second pair of these jeans I have purchased. I have had the first pair for 3 years. They feel great, wear well and continue to look great.

Great jeans for those that workout.
February 25, 2025The jeans are soft, but durable. Nice room in the hips and thighs for guys that workout or just have a little extra junk in the trunk.

Perfect jean
October 28, 2024Easily my favorite pair of jeans. I love everything about them; the look, the stretchy fit, color, feel. I can only speak on this particular version/color because it’s all I have to go with from J-crew. I’ve looked at other colors and the material/fabric isn’t the same. Size is true to normal sizes at other brands. 1 thing to note is the bottom opening is around 7 inches which equals 14 total, not the 12 1/2 stated on the site. I’ll take a stab at the other colors if I see a good color but my expectations are high after this one. Do yourself a favor and get a pair because I’m telling you you’ll be happy
