MOTHER

Founded in 2010 by premium-denim industry pros Lela Becker and Tim Kaeding, MOTHER specializes in collections that present a juxtaposition of hard and soft. The brand evokes teenage rebellion, unconditional love and hilarious insult all at the same time (the company's name is a play on the duality of the word "mother," which can be nurturing or a cuss).

Best fit of my life

I had ordered a pair of frayed step hem insider jeans by Mother. The crotch was just not right, the rest of the jeans fit ok but for this price point imo they should be absolutely killing it. I do have a pair of slim bootleg Mother jeans that fit wonderfully so I took a chance on these. Well all I can say is these are the best fitting, most comfy jeans of my entire life. They aren't too stretchy and they aren't too heavy, the wash is beautiful and they hug both my butt and my waist perfectly. I'm 5'5" and 120, slim with a butt and a narrow wasit, athletic. But I have a relatively short pelvic area? So long crotches can be a problem and therefore highwaisted styles sometimes are just too long. Not these. Take a chance on these they are amazing and I wish I could find them in white! I'll be broke but I'll look great

Too high rise for me

I ordered a size 29, my typical size. I specifically checked the rise in the description and it said 10 1/2 for a size 29. After trying them on and having the waist hit way over my navel, I measured the front rise. It is exactly 12 inches. The length was too long and hit over my ankle. Just a bad fit on me all around. I have old trippers that fit perfectly , so not sure what changed. The wash is nice and they are a good quality denim. Wish they fit.

Runs small

Ordered my regular size and could not button them. Ordered one size up and they are still tight. They do stretch out after wearing but not enough to order my normal size. I do love the length (I’m 5’9) and they hit me in the perfect spot. I also like the slight flare at the bottom. However, after wearing them once I’m undecided about keeping them due to button up fly and the way they stretch out.

run really small

These are not very forgiving, and you will want to size up one at minimum, however, the color and length is perfect.

Love love the fit. I ordered 2 sizes up after reading reviews they fit a tiny loose. I will also order a second pair and size down one (but size up one from my original size) to have a snugger fit!
