New favorite jeans!

Originally posted on Levis

It took a couple buys and returns to get the right size on these, as I find they stretch quite a bit with wear and I didnt want a loose fit. I ended up going with the size that is pretty snug at first but wears in very nicely. Lovely design and love the unique shade of black!

Great Black Jeans

Originally posted on Levis

Great fit on these jeans. I'm 5'4", 120lbs and bought the size 25 in the 27" inseam. They are super comfortable, and give a nice cropped look. The 26 size also fit but had a slightly more relaxed fit.

Pretty close to perfect !

Originally posted on Levis

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit pretty well! Just need to give it a day to stretch them out before. One star off only because the sizing varies slightly from color to color so this fit me a little tight but my ranchera was perfect

Gorgeous, comfortable and sleek

Originally posted on Levis

Yes, I recommend this

I bought these today in store and I can't wait to dress them up. They ae super comfy. I usually only love 100% cotton but the stretch in the black sprout felt super comfy. Love the dark black, love the high rise and even though these are ankle, I got the 31 since for me I love a bit longer. They look properly snatched and even though I could have done a 25, my usual, I think my new favourite is 26 since I like the relaxed roomy look, not any pulling or 'tightness'. Hugs the curves though. I'm 5'7", 125lbs and was happy with the 26 in waist, 31 inseam length.

Cute, but tight in waistband

Originally posted on Levis

Yes, I recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally ordered these jeans in a lighter wash. I ended up ordering this darker wash in the same size, but the waistband felt significantly tighter than it did in the lighter wash. I’m hoping that they will stretch out of it as I wear them more.

Wrong Size!

Originally posted on Levis

No, I don't recommend this

I love the style, but the sizing seems inconsistent. I already own the exact same model in the same size, yet this pair is much tighter in the waist. Since I bought it on final sale, I can’t return it. I wouldn’t recommend buying it.

Size Up

Originally posted on Levis

They're cute but a full size too small! In every other pair of Levis and in the ribcage shorts I'm a size 28 but I can barely button them up so I'll exchange for a 29 and update. For reference, I'm 5'8"/140lb/athletic build.

So Cute!

Originally posted on Levis

Love these jeans! The high rise and cut are very flattering; I will be repurchasing. I will, however, size down in the waist for this particular style, as they stretch a bit with wear and require a belt once worn.

Smaller than it seem

Originally posted on Levis

Yes, I recommend this

The size of these pants is the same as the one I wear in other Levi's jeans, but the Ribcage Straight Ankle model seems to run smaller; and, since I bought them on sale, I can't return them—so now I have these jeans, but I can't wear them.

Terrible colour. The black jean looked almost washed 50 times before I bought it. Similar quality can be found for free in cloth donation banks
