Great Fit & Comfortable!
I was looking for jeans in different color that I could wear to work. I chose these after looking at the measurements and reviews.The color is a nice olive color, they are very comfortable, and fit nicely - even my short legs! No problem zipping them up past my belly (my trouble spot) and they have an elevated casual look that I could wear to work. I was a bit skeptical about the Amazon Essentials brand, but these are a great quality and a good deal! I will be ordering other colors.

UNBELIEVEABLE
THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE! I normally do not give an opinion on a product the very same day it arrives, as I like to use/wear it awhile first, before I decide if I like the product or not. However, I was so overjoyed with what Amazon delivered today, that I could not wait.I am a short person, 5'0" short, who has searched my entire adult life for jeans that fit properly. One year, many years ago, before school started, we, as we had done for years, went to the only store (a small family owned store) that carried the uniforms required by the parochial schools in our metro area. As the sales/ fitting lady helped our 3 daughters, I asked her if I could try on some jeans.She was kept busy, helping my girls "fit" their uniforms and mark them at the right places, where the seamstress would take them in. I wasn't aware that everytime I came out of the dressing room and looked into the 3 way mirror, that she was watching me. When I had tried on every jean they had out for sale, as was usual, ALL of them were way too long by than 6 inches or more. Running into a dead end, so to speak, as I usually did with jeans, I put them back where I had found them and hung them up. I returned to see how my daughters fittings were going. She looked like she had something to say, but was hesitating. When she spoke she said," I don't mean to be a busybody, but I noticed that the jeans we have for sale were all way too long for you. May I make a suggestion for you to try"? I told her she should tell me what she wanted to say. She informed me that the size jean I needed in a junior sizing, would ALL be way too long, unless I was lucky enough (at the time) to find someone who carried Petites. I asked off hand, if she knew of anyone who carried them at the time. She told me no, but that she thought I would get a perfect fit, and here she inserted,"I hope I don't offend you by saying this, but I think a girls size 14 would be perfect for you". She pointed the way. Having nothing to lose, I tried her suggestion. It was as though I had found custom fitted jeans! I chose a few pair, and from then on, I always went to the girls department when I needed any sort of pant.This past year, my jeans looked like they had seen their day. As I wanted to try some in the beautiful colors they now make, I looked at 2 of the better known, name brand jeans that were out there. I found almost NOTHING, in the size I needed, but even if it wasn't a color I would normally have chosen, I purchased the few I found offered and in stock, who claimed to fit according to the chart, between a 2 Petite and a 4 Petite. When they came, many were still way too long and the rest that were that was the right length, then the hips and waist were way too big. But beggars can't be choosers so they say, and I kept the ones that fit best lengthwise. The more I thought about it, after washing and wearing the 6 or so pair I had kept, I had kept, I recalled seeing a picture of Amazons jeans for petite women, on one of the pages where I had ordered the jeans I now had. I decided to give them a try. I purchased 2 pair, as that would give me more jeans than I needed, but a little bit of summery color. They came today.These are THE BEST jeans, fit wise, fabric wise and color wise, I have ever owned in my 64 years. I am NOT joking when I say that, for the first time ever, I was elated! I now have 2 pair of jeans that look and fit as though custom made. I only wish I hadn't washed and worn the name brand jeans that are ill fitting. The quality really surprised me, as the fabric was soft, supple and the jeans are very well constructed. Length is perfect. And, they are perfectly fitted to my hips and waist, not needing a belt. The next time I need or decide to buy jeans again, I am going straight to Amazon's page and place my order. And so many color choices for me! For the very first time, I have a choice of EVERY color they make, in all the larger sizes of the name brand jeans, but rarely, if ever in my size or length. I am in heaven! For a woman my age who has put up with either a poor color choice because the store does not buy large quantities of the 2 smallest sizes, and they go fast IF they carry them at all, or having to choose jeans that are too big in the hips and/or waist, I now have two VERY well made, VERY lovely looking pairs of jeans, that no one would ever know they aren't one of the name brands. Thank you Amazon! I have waited my entire life, to find pretty colored, well fitting, well made jeans that up until now, I had to compromise on something, to wear. These jeans are perfect! A perfect fit. Perfect colors and sturdy construction. I will forget about those name brand jeans, (and their price) and head straight to Amazons jeans page. I KNOW I won't be disappointed. You made my year!

Great Fit for $15, but Fabric Varies by Color
I’ve ordered three pairs of these Amazon Essentials Mid-Rise Stretchy Skinny Jeans (size 4 long) in black, light olive, and medium wash. For reference, I’m 5’5” and 120 lbs.Pros:I really like the mid-rise, it’s flattering in the front and comfortable to wear without constantly having to pull my pants up. The length is perfect for me, and the olive green and medium wash materials feel nice. They ride up a little on the calves, but that’s probably just me. The fit is snug but true to size, and they contour nicely without feeling restrictive. And for only $15 (at least when I bought them), they’re a great deal.Cons:The black pair is made of a completely different material that attracts lint and cat hair like crazy, and it bunches oddly in the crotch area (something the olive and medium wash don’t do). The medium wash also had a strong mothball smell that hasn’t gone away even after four washes, which is pretty frustrating.Overall, I like the fit and comfort of the olive green and medium wash pairs, but the black ones are disappointing in terms of fabric and wearability. Still, for $15 a pair, they’re hard to beat!

Fit true to size
These Amazon basics jeans fit true to size and have a wonderful stretch to them making them very comfortable for bending and moving in different directions. They are great for casual wear around school or for a hike in the woods.The material on these jeans is a lightweight cotton, poly blend with just enough elastane to make them move comfortably with you. I got the white jeans and find them to be thick enough to be modest but thin enough to be comfortable.

Size/Fit is not consistent across color choices
I would easily give this 5 stars but the issue is the lack of consistency through the available colors.For example, I got olive green in size 4 short and the crotch is weirdly long. But then from this same listing, I also bought it in black, size 4. I bought these on the same day. The black fits perfectly!I really wanted this in olive green.Please make quality and size/fit consistent across available colors in one listing!

Great jeans, even if they aren't American eagle 😉
Perfect fit and stretch. True to size! Very comfortable and dye didn't run in the wash.

Perfect
Color was gorgeous. Not too thick material. Soft, and literally the most perfect fit. I got the 10 short. Im 5ft 1 and 140. Good deal for good jeans. Maybe just wish they were lower waisted.

Good, comfortable jeans (when they fit)
Today I ordered my 4th pair of these jeans. I want to end up with 2 pairs.I’m 5’6”, 175 lbs.Pair #1: size 14—overall fit good *except* hems were 2.5” above my ankles (not a look I wanted) 🙁Pair #2: size 14L—just right 😁Pair #3: again size 14L—.5” to 1.0” smaller at the waist than #2. Could *barely* get them zipped. 🙁Today ordered #4. Again in 14L 🤞Sooooo, bottom line is good value with inconsistent fit. Guess that’s what you can expect for the price.Have worn #2 several times and were comfortable all day. (Have not yet washed them.)
