I love LL Bean jeans and thought to try these. Unfortunately for me "Traditional" means tight. I couldn't even zip these size 10's whereas the Original is perfect. I had to return them.
I'm 5'7", 130 pounds (28 inch waist) and I usually wear a six 6 in most pants/jeans. I ordered up to a size 8 based on the size chart for these and they were still uncomfortably tight. I like the jeans otherwise and considered going up to a size 10, but was pretty sure those would hang on me. The length, the rise, the width of the legs (comfortable but not baggy) was great. These remind me of my college days, when jeans didn't have spandex and I wished they had fit, but sadly, not for me.
