I like these jeans. They come out of the dryer looking good. They're comfortable. Based on previous LLBean jeans purchases and reviews from others, I knew that these jeans might run a litle short. I have short legs but ordered a medium tall, and that was a good choice. I'm pleased with the option to do that. I would like more room in the waist for tucking in layers, but it won't be winter forever. I don't need quite so much room in the seat and hips, but I have made more LLBean jeans purchses since these. The quality and workmanship are excellent.
I don't know who's the model for these jeans, but they aren't anyone I know. I ordered a size 12 and they fit like a size 6. I wasn't able to get them buttoned let alone zipped. I buy LL Bean twill skirts in size 12 and they fit fine. This was my first purchase of LL Bean jeans. It will be my last. Horrible disappointment.
