If you are thin, and want jeans to be fitted, do not buy these jeans. They are very baggy around the thighs, eventhough the waist might fit. I am trying to shrink mine since they are 100% cotton. If you have large thighs, they will be fine.
Love the quality of these jeans, but for some reason the sizes have changed! The waist is now 2" larger than the same style/size I ordered six months ago. Thought it was a fluke, but the replacement pair was just as large. Very disappointed that I could not rely on the "guaranteed fit." Now, it's back to searching for jeans that will fit comfortably on a small person like myself.
The size chart shows a size 12 fits a 31 inch waist ... yet the size 12 'Classic/Traditional' jean has nearly a 34 inch waist (the size 12 'Natural' I ordered does have a 31 inch waist). LL Bean .. please adjust your size chart for the Classic/Traditional jean or redesign the jean!!!
