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).

Perfect jeans
I have been looking for a “everyday” jean that is somewhat relaxed, straight and comfortable like my old original Levi 501’s. These jeans are perfect with a more straight relaxed fit (not sloppy) just a perfect design for everyday wear. They do have stretch and will probably stretch more with wear so I sized down.

Disappointing fabric composition for the price
I own 5 other pairs of Mother denim, most of which are 95–98% cotton, so I know what this brand is capable of. I was really surprised to see these are only 73% cotton with 26% Lyocell. Yes, the Lyocell makes them softer and easier to pull on, but it also means they stretch out significantly with wear — which is exactly why so many other reviews recommend sizing down. At $238, I shouldn't have to worry about my jeans losing their shape by the end of the day.
The wash was also underwhelming. "Fight For Your Right" looks more like something you'd find at H&M or Cotton On than a premium denim brand. It just doesn't have the depth or character I've come to expect from Mother.
I'm returning these. If you're a loyal Mother customer who loves their high-cotton denim, be aware that this pair is a real departure from the brand's usual standard.

go-to jeans but buy 1-2 sizes down
Mother says “true to size” but that is false. I got one size down from usual and my usual. The smaller jeans looked great. After 4 wearings and 1 cold wash they are HUGE. I hate to swap them for another size down but I am going to. I hate to think of the waste—2 packages shipped to my home because no local store had them then my returning both of them to my store. And then, i had to order the third pair sent to my home because my local store didn’t have them. So much waste. Do better, Mother. Think of the environment and how is it fair that Nordstrom has to eat all this shipping because Mother says they are true to size? Sounds like not a big deal. But, again, the waste really bothers me.

Like an old pair of broken in Levi's but better!
I have another pair from last year that are not as broken in and soft. I do love those too but these are my favorites. They are softer and do stretch out. My usual size is a 26 or 27 depending on if they are rigid or stretchy. With these I could have went down to a 25 and would have but they are sold out. These are so cute and comfy l am going to keep them. I am going to find them elsewhere in the 25 and get them for a more fitted look. These are loose but not sloppy. I hope that helps.

Read first b4 u order
if u want this button up fly to fit, I ordered 25, 24 then settled on 23 - they are not baggy falling off but not tight- normal mother I usually take 25/26 in reg/petite. imo each mother design has it's own size. it's frustrating especially ordering online. BUT I love these.

I love these jeans
I ordered these in the petite size as well as the regular size, and I’m keeping both. I’m 5’4 and the petite his right at the ankle, perfect for flats. The regular length is perfect for a heeled boot. The fit on the regular is TTS on me, where the petite ran small in the waist so I sized up.
Overall these jeans look great on, perfect amount of stretch to be comfortable but not lose shape, and can be dressed up or down. My new favorite Mother jeans.

Great Jeans
I really like these jeans - bought 2 pairs. The do stretch out 1/2+ size with wear but then I wash them and put them in the dryer and they fit well. I did not want to go down a size because I am short-waisted and a smaller size is uncomfortable because the waist of the jean sits too low on my hips. As an aside, they call these mid rise but they are just barely a mid-rise (kind of a high mid-rise if that makes sense).
