I love these jeans, however, as with several other items I've purchased at LL Bean in the sizes I typically wear, they are too small which is disappointing. The cost of returning is a hassle. Once everything fits, I'm very happy with my selections and the quality of the items.
It is so hard to find normal jeans now. I am not a low-rise or sequined-pocket person, so finding these was good. They could be longer (and I ordered Long), but otherwise, nice and not flashy or uncomfortable.
Well, I wouldn't wear any other jeans, that is. 4P is a perfect fit for me, nice deep pockets. It is what I wear every day. After a few years when the stonewashed starts to look distressed, they become my work jeans.
I had already sewed patches on the knees of my old pair of Double-L jeans. They were fine for painting the house and working in the garden. They looked a bit raggedy for social gatherings. It was time to purchase new jeans and I could depend on the LL Bean to have the sturdy denim and well-fitting jeans that I purchased years ago. Yes, petite 4 fits just right. However, the inseam is a fraction of an inch shorter than the inseam of my old jeans.
