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).

Great jeans but too long
These are quality jeans. I absolutely love everything about them meaning the way they fit, the cut, the quality of the fabric… but not the length. I’m 5’3” —so petite— and while they’re sized by Mother as petite, they’ll still require Nordstrom tailoring to shorten their length. I like them well enough to pay for that extra expense and added wait before they’re ready to wear but it’s disappointing enough that I’ll think twice before I buy this brand again; especially considering their price.

not petite
Extremely long. I am 5’2 and even wearing 3 inch heels I would still have to have these hemmed.

stretched out
I have a handful of mother jeans. They have always been what fits me best and generally I like the quality. This pair has failed me. For how much I paid I would hope these jeans would last me years, but no. It’s been about 6 months and they are all stretched out. I’m super disappointed.

love
These are the perfect fit and color wash. Very flattering and comfortable. I’m 5’5 so the length was just perfect on me - no alterations needed.
