Fits slightly small based on
19 customer reviewsWhat customers are saying:
Customers generally like the soft, stretchy denim and say these jeans have a flattering, straight-but-not-too-tight fit that works well for dressing up or down. Many found them comfortable with good shape retention, and several said the dark wash looks great. Fit feedback was a bit mixed: some found them true to size, while others suggested sizing up or noted a slimmer leg than expected. A few customers also mentioned the rise and inseam run a little different from older matchstick pairs.

Fits true to size
Very Bad Quality Rips easily
April 15, 2016I bought 4 of these pants because they fit well and I liked the way they looked. Sadly they lasted only 2 months. All of them ripped on the knees. To clarify I work in an office sitting on a desk so am not on my knees ever while wearing them. The design is nice sadly the quality is very very poor. I have noticed a big decline in quality in the production. Sad because I like the design. I strongly recommend you don't buy them. I am accustom to purchase jeans that last at least 5 years with normal wear and tear. 2 months of life time use for the price point and for jeans that are supposed to be long lasting pants are not indicative of quality.

please bring back the matchstick in stores!
October 3, 2014i am an average sized woman (5'6" and 125 lb.) but I CANNOT FIT into your skinny or the new reid jean. i have larger calves. the sales guy said the reid was the same but it is not. i tried and failed to get them on. so PLEASE bring this style back for those of us who aren't built with skinny legs! i am 54 but like to look current, and my go-to jean in my go-to store is gone. i'm sad and had to buy jeans at the gap (big sigh here!) i did try on a boyfriend jean but they are all too short for me: flood-waders. i ordered on-line, but i like to try on jeans before i buy, since every pair is slightly different. take pity on the larger-calved!

Love these jeans!
September 13, 2014Highly recommended! I've already got two pairs (one of each wash, Luella and Chase), and I'm considering buying another pair already - they're that good. The extra stretch and the slightly more fitted thigh make these even better and more flattering than the regular version (which used to be my favorite jeans - until these arrived). I wear a size 24, and find that one or two pairs of my other matchstick jeans sometimes feel a little loose through the waist and thigh, but these are a perfect fit without being uncomfortably snug at the waist or anywhere else. The denim is substantial but also very soft to the touch; even this darker wash has a perfectly-broken-in feel right away. The only improvements I'd like to see are short (30" inseam) sizes, and maybe a few more washes next season, please.
