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).

Adorable new favorite pair of Mother!
Perfect style and fit. I am between petite and regular size and have both in Mother jeans. I ordered the lil mother and regular size in 27. The lil mother fit me perfectly the regular would have been too long. These run true to size I ordered my normal 27. 120 lbs. 5'3"

Wrong jean closure type
The description incorrectly says this is a zip fly with button closure. Beware, this is button fly. I ordered two pairs because I called Nordstrom customer service and the woman said they probably sent the wrong pair by mistake.

runs a little small in waist
I typically wear a 27 in mother but these were a little snug in the waist, so I returned them for a 28. I’m 5’4 and these hit at the ankle. Although the description is mid rise, these sit a little lower. The pockets sit lower as well. Overall- super cute jeans on - I plan to wear them with flats.

Not Mother quality
Runs large. Ordered my normal 26 and could’ve ordered 1 size to 2 sizes down. The quality does not feel or look like my other mother jeans. Returning.

Too small AND too big
I have 2 pairs of these jeans from years ago before Mother even made petites. They were very long, but fit perfectly. I ordered my normal size 29, which is the size I had in the past. I am 5’4, 135. I thought the petite sizing would be a dream come true, but they were a completely different fit. I could not button them at all, yet they ballooned out in the hip area. Worst fit ever, although the length was perfect. Great wash. I really wanted these to fit, but immediately returned.
