Lee Men's Modern Series Relaxed Fit Bootcut Jean

Ordered three and noticed when using Prime the quality was better and they got the color right. When using our other account sizes and color and even model were off. The third one was used and looked heavily used (about an inch short and pockets showing wear.) To Amazon's credit they exchanged them for a new one but I'd never buy these things again. I suspect that they make them on demand, and likely all over the planet, that's why the color/size and other discrepancies. Still, Amazon should never allow used (likely returned) item to go out to customers.

I own a pair of Lee Dungarees Relaxed Bootcut jeans in 34x34 (2yrs old). I bought the modern series to try out to see what the difference was (and you never know if you might like something else better). Because my Dungarees 34x34 are too loose in the waist, I bought 33x34 in the modern series. The thighs were skin tight - so tight that my boxer-briefs rolled up my legs (bunching up like regular briefs) as I put the pants on and I could barely fit my hand in the front pocket. The waist was a little tighter than I was expecting, but I would have kept them if the legs fit. I'm 5'10" - 185lbs with an athletic build. I get that the current style is to go with the skinny jeans route, but when it's a relaxed fit, I was expecting it to be somewhat roomy. I also bought a new pair of the dungarees and will see how they fit. If I didn't already own a pair of Lee relaxed bootcut fit, I wouldn't have been that shocked by how tight they were as that's how everything is going these days. I would say I would have needed a 38/40 waist to get my legs to have a relaxed fit in the thigh. No way a 34 waist would create all the space I need for a comfortable fit, so I don't think it was because I sized down the waste 1 inch from my current pair. Update - 1/29/16 I received the pair of Lee Dungarees Relaxed Bootcut jeans in 33x34 and do not have the tight thighs problem. They are truly relaxed fit. It's clearly a style choice with the modern series. If you have an athletic build, you should opt for the Dungarees.

As a few other people mentioned, the fit is kind of weird. If you are on the thin / lanky side they will work best (or if you like a straighter fit.) I would NOT call these relaxed - they aren't skinny jeans but the cut is just is more straight than expected. Quality is ok - mid/low level decent brand but nothing we would call "best jeans ever." Slightly on the thin side too. At around $24 they are fairly priced, and won't fall apart like very cheap ones but they just don't seem very comfy/cozy or like they would wash well years down the line into a great pair of worn in jeans. (The only other Lee jeans we tried didn't) Again though, for $24 it's not a bad deal and you aren't really supposed to get years upon years out of $24 jeans IMO. Fit - again, not what you might expect for relaxed unless you're on the thin/lanky side. Bit too little room in the thigh area. Color and look is nice - the very dark wash is great, and they can be dressed up or down.

I normally take a size 34 in most non-stretch pants and jeans, except those from Walmart (where I am a 32), and found the 33 in this jean fitted nice. I have enough room in the waist for my hand, and still plenty of room in the leg and seat. The 34 fit OK, but felt a little "old man" baggy to me. The color (FELIX) is really nice and has a balance of dark and light that makes them look fairly stylish and "expensive." My only gripe is that these are not 2% spandex, the label in them states they are 1% spandex. This makes quite a lot of difference in the amount of stretch. I bought them for general wear, and for a figure skating performance, so would have preferred more stretch for lunges and spirals. We will see!

These are HANDS DOWN the most comfortable jeans I've ever purchased that don't compromise on style. I'd buy a couple more pairs if they had more fabric styles available. There's plenty of room in the front pockets, even when sitting down---no more keys digging into your thigh and no more standing up or leaning back just to get your phone out of your pocket. (I also purchased the relaxed straight-leg Lee's jeans to compare and the contents of my pockets dug into my legs in that style). Also, the stretch is very subtle---it won't look or feel elastic by any means, but you don't feel constricted when moving around or sitting down. Also, the material is of perfectly average jean-thickness (I saw an earlier review that said the material seemed thin). The waist measurements on these jeans are accurate---I tape at a 30.5" waist and both the 30 and 31 fit comfortably (I wear a belt either way, but it would be optional for the 30). As for people saying the jeans are "low-riders," I think that's more of a generational definition. They fit where I'd wear any other pair of jeans, but to remove the ambiguity: The *top* edge of the waistband will rest at the level of your ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine), which is where I measured my waist at. (See the last image of: http://www.wikiradiography.net/page/Abdomen if you're rusty on your surface anatomy....)

Ordered 36/30 but they are way too long. More like a 36/34. Also the zipper flap stays open and drives me crazy. I tried on a pair of these at a retail store and they were great. Got them online and they fit totally different.

Bought these for my son for Christmas and they fit great. I paid 16.95 for them and was going to buy another pair but the price went back up to 32.00. When the price drops will buy another pair.

I bought 4 pairs of these jeans over the last month. I paid $46 each for the first two on Lee's buy one - get one half price "sale." I later bought two more pairs for under $30 each on another Lee "sale." I'll be very careful while shopping next time. These are nice pants but they aren't worth the $62 per pair retail price posted for my first purchase. The pants are nice. The waist runs a little small but not much. The fabric is lightweight which is great for warm weather in NC - you can't wear heavy denim in summer here. Be aware that not all the colors in this jean stretch... some of the light colors are 100% cotton. The stretch versions have 1% -2% spandex - check the details when you order. The pants give when you move and are very, very comfortable - they don't pinch, pull or bind - but they don't look like the "old guy" stretch Wranglers you see on elderly men who wear them with white shoes that close with Velcro. (I'm a very youthful 61 myself, so I can say that.)
