Amazon Essentials Standard Athletic Fit Stretch Reviews Summary

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "Fits great, very comfortable. Like where it sits below the ankle and doesn't ride up and have to be pushed back down when standing up from sitting."
• "These jeans are perfect for someone with larger thighs."
• "They fit perfectly as long as you know your size."
• "These things fit like a glove."
• "They fit great and they really do have some stretch so when you move around it's not always puling down in the back (plumber's crack)."
• "At 190-195 the 34x32 fit great on or off the bike."
• "These jeans fit like the proverbial glove in the waist / glute / thigh area."

Cons:

• "The only problem is the lonely belt loop in the back. It causes your belt to bunch at the back having to adjust it every time you have to use the restroom."
• "The butt area was a little saggy."
• "These are low-rise jeans that sit below the hip, so when he squats or sits, his butt crack shows."
• "The fly is too short."
• "Great fit except they just tuck the package back and chafes which is not good."
• "These jeans fit like the proverbial glove in the waist / glute / thigh area, but I have genetically huge calf muscles... and the cut of these jeans is fairly tight from the knee downward."
• "Problem 3: the crotch is cut a bit high making them rather uncomfortable, but this could be a result of shrinking."

Durability

Pros:

• "I bought these jeans around 3 years ago... The fit and style are good but the really amazing aspect is the durability."
• "They are very durable and held up well."
• "This is a great compromise, in a market where big clothing companies are aware that selling durable jeans makes less money."
• "Much more budget friendly but seem to be made just as well as, if not better than my jeans that are $60+ per pair."
• "They look clean, are durable and fit well with boots."
• "They are; Comfortable, of good quality, great color and after two years they haven't faded."
• "I bought 5 pairs of these jeans, and I've worn them once a week for 4 years. One pair finally split down the back pocket. The other 5 have a bit of wear on the knees but they're still great!"

Cons:

• "I suspect this pair will wear out sooner rather than later."
• "Update: I had these for just over a month and they got a rip in the back of them."
• "FIRST OFF I HAVE BEEN BUYING AND WEARING THESE EXACT SAME JEANS FROM THE DAY THEY HIT THE MARKET MANY YEARS AGO AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. FOR SOME REASON EVERY PAIR I BOUGHT FROM THIS SOURCE HAS WORN AT THE SEAMS AND TORE A HOLE IN EVERY ONE IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT AFTER ABOUT 8 WEEKS."
• "I expect jeans to last years, these tore at the seam on the back pocket after 4 and a half months of normal wear and normal washing."
• "These pants did not hold up well. The seat tore out near the pocket on two of the three pair purchased after only wearing for less than 10-times."
• "Bought these Amazon jeans in May of 2022. Tore completely through on left pocket side in November of 2023."
• "Ripped at the zipped seam within six months, apparently according to customer service Amazon private brands have no warranty."

Material and Quality

Pros:

• "The pants are not only denim, but they are soft and comfortable."
• "Very nice well fitting pair of pants. They look great the only problem I have is the pockets are extremely deep. Throw your wallet in them it might take you a week to find it."
• "Softer than regular jeans though- I took a point off because they are not 100% Cotton."
• "The jeans are not as comfortable as other pairs and there is 'less give' but with time, we know the jeans will soften up."
• "The denim and overall craftsmanship seems as sturdy as anything else out there for twice the price."
• "The denim is actually pretty heavy- heavier than the Old Navy or Aeropostale jeans in my closet."
• "these jeans are pretty good and made of heavy canvas type material. the pocket material is heavy duty fabric."

Cons:

• "Cheap material, cheaply made. Skip Amazon's brand on this one."
• "This product is advertised as being stretchy, especially in the waist. In my opinion, the waist does not stretch at all - they are basically like a normal jean."
• "The 'denim' was thinner and lighter weight than expected. Normal sized pockets, and the back pockets were super stretchy."
• "The material is a stretchy material - like spandex. It is also much thinner than you would get with better, name-brand jeans."
• "Like all Amazon Essentials, these are made cheaply with low quality materials that do not last."
• "ok im cheap. i tough i could go off-brand ans save a few quid... These jeans a baggy, badly dyed and frankly ugly."
• "I followed washing instructions exactly, even used softener and dryer sheets. Lint, lint, lint, just couldn’t get rid of it."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "They look clean, are durable and fit well with boots."
• "I was looking for a pair of jeans that would get here quick since I needed them for an event. I wanted something on the business casual side with a good fit (not baggy). These ‘fit’ the bill and were very reasonably priced based on the workmanship and material."
• "The color is nice too."
• "Very comfortable and look as nice as my Lucky Brand."
• "True to size and look great on my son."
• "Absolutely positively say goodbye to the overrated overpriced jeans you see for sale! Amazon brand jeans hit all the buttons; perfect fit, are comfortable, & stylish."
• "These are great jeans. I love how they fit, they have give and get more comfortable the more you wear them and wash them."

Cons:

• "They were long and very wide."
• "Only suggestion would be to make the ankles slimmer, as they kinda sprawl out at the ankles which doesn't match the skinny jean look."
• "These are low-rise jeans that sit below the hip, so when he squats or sits, his butt crack shows."
• "There aren't enough belt loops so my belt would slip up past the pants in the back."
• "The jeans itself fit well but the color is not my favorite... The color has a rusty, or gold undertone color to the jeans."
• "these jeans are pretty good... very prone to creases, which spoils an otherwise great pair of jeans."
• "The stretch in the jeans may be a bit much and they sit high on the waist (i guess that was the eighties)."
