LEE Women's Instantly Slims Classic Relaxed Fit Monroe Straight Leg Jean

I purchased two of these jeans: one in Horizon (which Ive received several compliments about) and one in Seattle. I would definitely have given the pants a full five stars if this review was only about the Horizon pair. However, because of issues with the Seattle-colored jeans, I had to average that five with an at-best three. The fit for both pairs is great, but I have to give the overall product only four stars because I cannot recommend the Seattle color. I dont know if I was sent a pair that someone else with horrible hygiene had returned or if it was something leftover from the dying process, but the Seattle pair of jeans had a horrible chemically smell. They smelled rather acrid--and I doubt it was some sort of joke about the grunge movement... When I say the jeans smelled bad, I mean that I washed them and the entire load of laundry had to be rewashed because all of the clothes in the washing machine came out smelling like those jeans instead of like laundry detergent. After a second wash, it was quite a bit better, but no brand-new clothing should smell that bad! ***I spoke too soon. When they were fresh from the washer (and still damp) they smelled fine, now that they are dry, they stink horribly again! Im not sure what on earth to do with this pair of jeans. Im incredibly disappointed in the Seattle jeans. :(

These thin jeans are comfortable and fit as described. The waist covers the butt at a decent level and they dont sag after washing.They are an excellent deal for the price. HOWEVER, the material is not as advertised. The jeans are 81% cotton, 18% polyester and 1% spandex, NOT 98% cotton and 2% polyester. Although I like the comfort and fit, this is still false advertising and needs to be corrected. Jeans are made in Kenya.

Lee jeans came on schedule and with the perfect length for my very long legs. Normally I would wear a long, in length, but these jeans have almost always run long, So the medium is good. The size 14 is only a tad too big. Not enough to be concerned about. I also have size 12 m in this jean and it fits very good on my skinny days. I am 57" tall and weight fluctuates up to 3 lbs and with these jeans in both sizes, I am covered. IF you are going to wear heels, or boots with heels, you might need the longer length. I wear sneakers with a one inch heel and this size fits fine. Dont count on these jeans shrinking....they dont. These jeans are soft and comfortable and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to anyone I cared for, or met at work. They are lightweight and perfect for coastal weather, but they would not be in colder climates. :) Make sure you follow the laundry instructions, turning the jean inside out to wash so fading is minimal. I do wish the waist button hole had more secure stitching as I can see the metal button pulling against the hole and tearing. But so far, with previous jeans from Lee, they havent. :) And it is a fact....these jeans are slimming. :D UPDATE: 11/14/2013 I loved these jeans SO much, that I have just received two more pair I ordered since the above review. These are in size 12 M. Since I can wear these jeans in sizes 12 AND sizes 14, I now have them in both sizes to accommodate a few pounds of fluctuating weight gains and I have them in two print colors, ( in addition to 3 pair in blue denim.) These that I just tried on, are in Wild Grape Heritage Snake and the lighter color Oxford Heritage Snake and they are so beautiful...omgosh. Please dont be reluctant to try this print as it looks fabulous and feels even more fabulous. Great fabric. VERY slimming. They do stretch some as you wear them and they dont bounce back much. So, if I am going to be traveling, I want the 14s for good comfort, but if I am going out shopping or to work where I stand most the time, I want these in the size 12, as they are snug and make me look so slim and so good and feel so comfortable. Love these things. I want to discuss length. These jeans DO Run Long. That is why a Medium will fit my very long legs on my 57" slender to medium, frame. In most pants in the past I have needed 12 or 14 LONGS. Not these. They dont shrink much, if any but they stretch out on you,if they do. These jeans ( 12 ) hem drops right about the bottom of the bow on my sneaker laces. If your legs are average "for your height" they will go down even further on your shoes. Now here is a catch: I noticed these jeans tonight to be a little below my waistline. Just a tad. Hmm. Not enough for me to return. So I looked at the attached stickers and sure enough....they ARE listed as a a "little below the waist." I think this is important, if you have fatty tissue around the waist, as I have a little. If you do, I think it would behoove you to order a size up from your normal size. I like the way the smaller size 12 fits, ( snug ) in spite of the waistline not being AT the waist. I can pull these up easily and they still look and feel great. I just dont appreciate NOT being informed of this information on the site page, itself. It says this only: 98% Cotton/2% Spandex Machine Wash Close fit that flatters at every curve Look and feel a size smaller Basic 5 pocket styling Printed stretch twill "Update to the Classic Lee Marilyn Style" I put the quotes on that last line. I had "assumed" they were AT the waist, which is what I wanted and where the previous Marilyn jean was. I removed one star, for this, but 4 is still a winner, in my opinion, too. At any rate, if you purchase these good and great looking jeans and they arent what you expect, Amazon is the best retailer in the world, in my experience, for returns or exchanges. PS....if you are short and petite, dont order the medium length as it will no doubt, be too long. I hope I have covered enough to help you make a decision. Lee Jeans have really improved in the consistency of quality in the past two years. They are more dependable in the length, albeit long. At least they arent at the top of your ankles, which I used to experience with this jean. The last 4 pair have been just perfect for me. I dont like prints, but I love this snake print on these jeans. It dresses them up, from bland. They could be worn anywhere and look appropriate. Best of luck, Oceansong* .

Lee Womens Classic Fit Monroe Straight-Leg Jean, Ellis, 4 These are different than the same ones I bought in size 6. These are marked differently. They have more elasticity and are more form fitting yet extremely comfortable. Seems like I got updated version of the Lee Classic Monroe that is figure enhancing. They have an extra tag that says: "Instantly Slims. Sliming Tummy Panel - Comfortable Holding Power." The width of the leg opening is less wide - not so much a boot cut as the ones I recd day before yesterday. They seem more current in styling. Not a ankle skinny jean but more like a Lucky Brand straight leg High Waist, but the legs are not so tight they cut off your blood supply :) The original ones got baggy in tush almost immediately so I ordered a size smaller. I have a pair in a different color coming tomorrow and If they are the old style Im sending them back. These are just what I wanted and the size 4s are utterly a perfect fit. Yeah! And they didnt cost me a mint but they look as good as jeans I paid a mint for.
