Washed before I wore them. Perfect fit. Comfortable. I could not find real jeans in the store and these are exactly what I was looking for. I wanted the original jean fabric not the stretchy stuff. No one sells them any more. But L.L. Bean does.
Because of my shape, I have trouble finding jeans that fit me. I also dislike low rise jeans. LLBean jeans are perfect for me. I like how they fit at the waist so my stomach doesn't hang over. I get the medium tall because I'm long legged and they shrink just a little so they are not dragging but not too short either. They wear well so they last a long time so I don't have to buy them very often. This is the only place I buy jeans from.
These are the only jeans I could find that fit above by waist and fit in length also. I am short, 4' 11''. I love these jeans. They also last a long time. It takes quite awhile before you see them starting to wear. I always order my jeans from them and will continue to do so.
