Generally, a great pair of jeans. Fabric feels nice, they are a good length and stylish. They’re also made with BCI cotton which is important to me. I have only given 4 stars because mine are slightly baggy on the waist whereas they fit perfect on the hips, thighs and through the leg (this could be my awkward body shape though). Also, I ordered the white colourway and found that the fabric is a bit thin so they are ever so slightly see through. Black underwear would be a no go.

I bought these jeans after my other identical pair lasting a long time. Sadly the quality has really worsened; a stud fell off the first time I wore them, and after two months the zip broke. There were also loose threads and the material is much thinner this time.

These are great, ONCE you get the right size. I tried four different pairs, two pairs that were the exact same size, but they were definitely not the same size. The size variation was a complete hit and miss. But if you persist (or lucky), they are a great pair of jeans. The denim is thinner, so good for cooler months.

I bought a pair of these in the first lockdown and they were a revelation - I absolutely love them and so many people ask me where I got them! My endeavour to get a second pair made me aware how lucky I was that first time to find the right size straight away. Ordering the same size again was not the way to go and it’s taken three attempts to find a pair that fit - though not as good as my first pair. The quality of the jeans is very good. I bought the stretch ones first and the navy non-stretch this time. They are different sizes (30 & 32) but fit the same on the waist. The navy ones are fuller in the leg though.

Great, good quality denim. The high waist and the leg shape were perfect for my pear shape. I think the jeans would be improved by a bit of stretch in the fabric: we have become so used to this now it was a bit of a shock to not have any at all. On me (5ft7ins) the leg length was too short above the ankle and didn’t look right so that was the only reason they were returned.
