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).

So small!
I want to start this by saying I love Mother jeans and pretty much exclusively only wear this brand. But the sizing inconsistency is starting to get very hard. These are at least 2 sizes too small. So if you are ok sizing up that much then these ma work for you. Even if I re-ordered in a larger size they would still be too long for me being petites. Many other better Mother fits in my opinion!

very nice jeans! runs slightly small
I usually wear a size 24 or 25 depending on the brand. I bought these in a 25 and they are pretty snug on my hips and butt. I do like them and think they might stretch with wear.. but just be aware they run at least 1 size smaller!

bought brand new but clearly worn
Paid full price for these jeans only to arrive as an obvious return and worn. I also do not appreciate Nordstrom cheaping out on shipping and using bottom of the barrel delivery companies like ontrac. The delivery driver pulled into my driveway, got out and tossed it from my yard onto my patio. This isn’t the experience I expect shopping online from a luxury retailer. I’d rather purchase directly from mother, 2 day FedEx shipping and not have my items thrown across my yard. Disappointing.

Beautiful smooth denim!
The material feels so good and these are the perfect length for me at 5'2. For reference I weigh 109 lbs and these are very snug in the waist....almost a deal breaker but I own a pair of Rag & Bone size 25 that are also button fly and they too were very snug in the waist but after 3 years of regular wear they're fine. So considering I managed to get these during a sale, I'm happily keeping them!!!🙂
