I knew going in that these were not standard Levi's but the "step-down" licensee. That's why they aren't $80; my review is comparing them to other jeans in the same price range.
Pros: I like the rise, they're comfortable, and they fit well. The seat and waist were a little too loose, but I worry that going down a size would have made the thighs too tight, which is a regular problem with Levi's. I like a baggy fit, so this was ok with me.
Cons: The fabric is incredibly thin. I am on my feet all day, and all the walking wore them down very quickly. I've gotten better from Walmart jeans in the past. The fabric is so thin that I doubt it will hold up well to patching, which is unfortunate. I really liked these jeans otherwise.
If you're just wearing them to outings, they look cute and will serve you well. If you're going to be doing a lot of walking, stick to Gloria Vanderbilt or Lee.

Perfect fit and love the color!
These are SO comfortable and love the high rise! The color is also perfect and what I was looking for. The denim is not stiff and seems very durable. Have washed numerous times already and still looks and wears perfectly! Absolutely a value for what I paid here on Amazon! I’m 5’4 and 139 lbs and purchased a size 8, which gives me a little bit of room, but not baggy. Inseam is perfect! Highly recommend!

Perfect fit and quality – best high-rise jeans for the price!
These Levi Strauss Signature high-rise straight jeans are absolutely fantastic! As someone who has tried countless denim brands over the years, these have quickly become my go-to favorite pair. The high-rise fit is incredibly flattering and sits right at the natural waist, providing excellent coverage and a modern silhouette. The stretch denim fabric is perfectly balanced – it has just enough give for comfort and ease of movement while maintaining its structure throughout the day without getting baggy or losing shape. The straight leg cut is timeless and versatile, looking great with everything from sneakers to heels. The quality of the denim is impressive – thick enough to be durable and hold everything in, yet breathable for all-day comfort. The stitching is impeccable and the hardware feels solid and well-made. I love that they’re available in both standard and plus sizes, making them accessible to more body types. The fit is true to size and the length options are helpful. After multiple washes, they’ve maintained their color beautifully with minimal fading. They’re perfect for casual everyday wear but can easily be dressed up for more polished occasions. The pockets are functional and placed well. For the price point, these jeans offer incredible value – they rival designer denim at a fraction of the cost. A must-have wardrobe staple!

Levi’s stretch
Great fit, but too much stretch. I prefer my jeans to be more sturdy.After washing them and wearing them, I do not like these jeans. They are thin, flimsy and way too stretchy. Very loose also.I’m very disappointed with Levi Strauss.

Maybe size down from recommended size
It was recommended that I order a 22plus, long. Definately on the big side. So I washed them in hot water, dried on high which made them fit better. I ended up ordering 2 pair of the 20plus, long…perfect fit. These pants are definately high waisted, more than what I remember. I prefer the high waist. Definately long enough. The material is perfect, no issues, very comfortable. Will order again.

Best jeans ever!
They are comfy, stretchy, a nice colour, fit well and I love them. There are some slight negatives…the front pockets are pretty shallow and even though I ordered the short length, they are still long (I’m 5’2″). They wash well too.

Nice Levi .. fit well!
These are great jeans. Replacing my old 501s and while they don’t feel the same, they are nice quality. I bought the Long length and they felt a tad short to me.

UPDATESaggy Baggy at butt and thigh ~ They did not shrink back into place once worn / washed / driedI ended up taking in a good 1 1/2″ FROM BUTT TO KNEE. I know that many of the North American population have ‘grown’ in the rump and thigh but NOT ALL women want or need to look like they are wearing a pair of old ill fitting pants.If I have not sewn for 45 years and am a good seamstress I would have just sent them backat first I thought….THE BEST FIT EVER perfect length and oh my they feel Amazing and look awesomeI wear a (high rise size18 and in some 18plus)but since I do not a have big thighs and a wide/broad hip and butt I struggled to find a pair of jeans that do not sag and bag at the hip / but/ thighs. When I do find a pair that fit waist right I end up having to practice my seamstress skills and start reconstructing them sometimes taking in up to a good 3″ and still do not feel good in them.My only complaint is that they do not come in a couple of different coloursI would only recommend these Jeans to women who have wide butts and thighs

These are a great, The soft, lightweight fabric give a “feel like butter” fit which is what I like in a pair of Summer jeans. I love the high waist fit for me since it means there is no need to keep pulling them up if you sit and then stand or if you bend over.They are a nice slim fit through butt and thigh which is so nice to find. No Saggy Baggy butt lookI ordered long and find them about an inch too long (not a problem for me since I sew) but because of that I will keep them but just ordered another pair in regular length.The quality is what I would expect for a less expensive pair of jeans. I have no problem getting a new pair every year or two since the fit is perfect.

Fit perfect (size 6 short. Im 5’3″) just enough stretch to allow for fluctuating weight. Nice actual straight leg(not skinny leg or bell bottom)

They are good quality jeans and I like the color. I also like the fit, but they are a bit tighter than I usually prefer (to be fair, they are skinny jeans). I originally bought the regular leg fit (not skinny) and I felt much more comfortable in them, however they were too short, so I returned them and got the long fit which are skinny jeans. The length is great but they are tight at the calves and at the waist, but overall I like how they fit and look so I will be wearing them.
