Every time I find a pair of jean I like, you either discontinue them or change something. This time it's the material. It's too thick, too bulky, not the feel of quality denim cotton as the original traditional fit! Don't like them at all - plus they are too wide - too loose - had to go a size down
I had some Natural fit Bean jeans that fit perfectly. Natural is being phased out and customer service advised that Traditional fit would be a good substitute. It's adequate but doesn't quite work for me as well as the natural.
I love the consistent fit I get with LL Bean on their jeans. They are made well and last me a while. So, when it's time to order new, I know what to order and I don't have to try a million pair on to find the right fit.
