BUY THEM BIG!!!!
8.15.2009
"After reading all the reviews which I found quite helpful, I ordered a pair of these jeans in 3 - 4 sizes bigger than I normally wear. I love them!!! They still are not quite as baggy as they are modeled here - but they have a great fit. Yes, they do really run small - but they have a great wash and I think that the fit is totally Boyfriend. Keep in mind that the Model for the photo in the listing is probably wearing a size 30 or bigger. I am very thin and I bought a size 28. I would have to go up to a 29 to get the baggy look pictured. Still, my 28's aren't tight at all and they look great. I may buy another pair!"

BUY EM' BIG!!!!
8.14.2009
"After reading all your comments about these jeans I decided to take my chances and I ordered a pair a full 3 sizes bigger than the size I always wear in designer jeans. While they don't fit quite as loose as they do in the photo - they look pretty good and I will definitely keep them. I might even buy another pair. I have the LEVI Capital E Distressed 501's in Blue Ribbon that are very expensive in my Regular size and they are a bit roomy. ( I wish they came one size smaller.) These look pretty good though if you can get the size right. I think that you need to go up 3 - if not 4 sizes bigger than you usually wear if you want them to fit like they do on the model photographed here. I would guess that the model in this photograph is wearing a size 30 +/- in these jeans to get them to fit the way they do. They need to be more assertive in the listing about the way these jeans are sized - which is insane. Thanks for all the comments because it told me how much bigger I needed to order them. If they don't come in your size (plus 3-4 sizes bigger,) consider the more expensive ones in Capital E 501 in distressed Blue Ribbon wash. I don't know if the ones offered on this site are the same ones, but you can order your regular size and they will fit like a dream! Anyway, I like these jeans but I had to order them 3 sizes bigger - NOT 2 sizes bigger. I could have even gone 4 sizes bigger for the look in the listing."

Size up and you will LOVE THESE!
8.4.2009
"I loved the look of these jeans, but was slightly alarmed by the reviews. I'm normally a size 26 so I ordered a 29 and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. They fit just like the photo. I'm a little wider in the hips, so I needed to go up three sizes, but if you're a little wee thing with narrow hips going up two sizes would probably work fine."

The sizing of these jean is all wrong!
12.17.2008
"I thought 28 is going to fit me loose, WRONG!!! They are very small and narrow. I can't imagine that they are men's fit. I am sending them back and I don't think I get this look with these jeans. I am 5'9" and very slim. I have to think if 3 sizes up will worth it."

disapointing
12.4.2008
"I feel that these jeans are misrepresented. I am a slender woman with narrow hips and I always wear a size 8 or size 29 in every pair of pants I have owned. Not only were these jeans not baggy but I could not even do up the fly. No amount of sizing up would have had them fitting like the picture. I had to send them back."

SO disapointed
12.1.2008
"I thought these would be my dream jeans. Some things are too good to be true. I ordered a 29/ size 8, which is always my size, and I couldnt even get the fly done up. I am a very slim person with narrow hips and I would have to size up probably 5 sizes to get the desired fit. These are too expensive to risk a bad fit. I second the motion to save your money."

levis boyfriend jean

"These did NOT fit as pictured in the catalog! They ran very small and tight, instead of loose and baggy as described and pictured . I was really disappointed. I sent them back & re-ordered them 3 sizes bigger than what I normally wear! But now they're on backorder, so I'll have to wait & see....:("
