Q: I ordered this but it says "regular length", not ankle. I bought another color in the store and it said "High-Rise Wide-Leg Ankle" without the word "sailor". Is this one not actually ankle length?

submitted by squidmufn - 6 months ago
  • A: In a size 8, the lengths range from 27.5" - 28". I have four pairs in various colors. I love mine, but I usually wear a 6 in most UThread jeans. I am 5'5" and 125lbs.

    Petitecurlycue - 4 days ago, Verified purchaser
    I really wanted to like these pants! The green is a beautiful color. But did not fit my frame. I’m 5’3 with waist size of 28, hips 36. Not exactly curvy( but some curves) but for some reason the 4 was too tight and very high waisted and the 6 was baggy in the wrong places, (crotch). I admire people who can pull these off. Mostly people with smaller waist and hips from what I have seen on instagram. They are also uncomfortable when you try to sit.

    My new favorite pants! I bought them in every color other than the navy only because they had already sold out. The cut reminds me of Madewell pants except higher waisted which I love and a lot more comfortable—you could sleep in these jeans, do some high kicks, and dress them up for work or for going out, they are super versatile. I do wish they had slightly less stretch to them but I like my jeans on the stiffer side, and these maintain their shape without sacrificing any comfort. The length works great for me but if you’re shorter they might be a little long (I’m 5'5" and they hit an inch or so below my ankles). Highly recommend! Please restock the blue so I can get the full set :)

    These jeans are so fun, but they don't have front pockets and they fit a bit snug for my normal size. The lack of pockets on the front is such a travesty for what could have been a perfect pair of jeans :(

    Flattering on narrow waist, bigger bottom.

    Cc - 14 days ago, Verified purchaser
    Size up? I sure did.. Based on the size chart, I'm between a 00 and 0 with my waist and hip measurements (narrow waist, wider hips). A size 2 fits great all around. The fit is body-skimming on my waist, hips, bum in a flattering, shape-defining way and then the wide leg is loose - very on trend. I love the darts on the back side to nip in the waist because I always struggle with the dreaded back gap when shopping for bottoms. I'm not in love with the cropped length in wide leg pants because it makes my legs look shorter, but for this price point, I've decided to experiment with styling these. I wish these came in multiple lengths, I'd buy them all and I'm every color way. Props to the apparel designer.

    The fit is nice, but these are truly the most bizarre, indescribable color. Neither olive nor green, let alone olive green they are best described as somewhere between dark heather greige and an optical illusion. They make me feel color blind and I am not. Congrats, I guess, on inventing a new color?
