I was so excited for these jeans. I sized up like others suggested, and they fit. But wow, the stench of chemicals and formaldehyde is overwhelming. The denim is saturated with it. I have had to wash them about 6 times in the last 2 days, even soaked them twice overnight in borax, and then vinegar. The stench is still there. They reek! The chemical smell has even gotten into my washing machine and dryer and leached onto other clothes. I am appalled and disgusted, and it has made me feel unsafe. Chemicals on clothes are dangerous. A customer service agent told me to deal with it and that it will go away eventually. Not reassuring.I got ‘cagey black’, and now I feel like the color has already faded even more because I’ve had to clean them so much. No one should have ... MoreI was so excited for these jeans.

No one should have to spend extra money and energy to clean new denim, especially from Levi’s. I’m super disappointed and upset.The style is gorgeous, and having other pairs, this is my go-to. But not this time. This is totally unacceptable and they belong in the trash.

These jeans fit perfectly. I am 5'3/5'2 180 lbs and I bought size 32 length 27 color black. For my height the jeans just crossed my ankle so I don't have to get them hemmed. These are high rise. I have bigger thighs and hips and it has hugged me at all the right places. The high rise and straight cut with boots and a short top/ sweater has elevated my height. Gives a chic look and slimming effect. The only con is there's no zipper. It's a button fly closure. I mean to each it's own. They aren't hard to close or open. It isn't an issue for me. I am planning to buy another pair the same style but in white color that I found in store.

This is a review of the purchasing process and the sizing of these jeans, because I was unable to get the pair I wanted. Firstly, these jeans are beautiful. I love the color and they seem wonderfully made. However, the first pair I bought, after measuring myself according to the size chart given, was huge on the waist. I measured again and confirmed my waist was 29 inches, but the jeans were absolutely too big. I made an exchange, hoping that 27 inches would be better, but those were too tight. Because I bought these on sale and now they have increased to the original price, and because I’m now concerned about the fit even if I tried to repurchase, and because I don’t know how many times I should try again before it is no longer worth it, I didn’t end up these ... MoreThis is a review of the purchasing process and the sizing of these jeans, because I was unable to get the pair I wanted.

Still, if you can try these on in store this might be a good jean for you.
