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!
These are really great jeans. Then denim is substantial and stretchy. I’m 5’4” and they are full length. If they were any longer they would be too long, so keep this in mind if you are more petite. I usually have an issue with a waist gap, but these fit well everywhere. I’m happy to have a classic pair that isn’t cropped at a strange length. They are high waist but not too high. Nice pair that can go with anything.

Sized up and love them
I wear a 28 in Mother typically but have been wanting a more relaxed feel without a very wide leg and was curious to try their petite length. I’m a 29 in Paige denim but found their wide legs too wide for my height and body type and the denim not as soft as these (no pinching in your midsection). These are perfect and don’t have that stretch denim look. I went up to a 31 in these and it’s changed my mind on sizing forever. These are so comfy, the drape is perfect for me in the bigger size, the length hits perfect and I’m 5’3+. I even bought another pair right away in the 30P just to try a smidge smaller in case I find the 31P stretch out quickly. I can see needing both.

wanted to hate
I wanted to hate these because they’re expensive but I don’t. They fit me true to the sizing chart. The length is PERFECT. I’m 5’3 and the inseam was perfect I wouldn’t wear flats or flip flops with these because they’re a tad longer than what I normally wear. They are stretchy soft denim but don’t show the pudge. You know what I mean. Perfect denim. Everything hits perfectly. If you’re looking for some nice fitting denim with a modern cut look no further.

LOVE
These are a bit spendy but totally worth it! The stretch makes them super comfortable. I’m 5’4 1/2”, and I would say they are just the tiniest bit long when I wear them with flats - however, I’d rather have that than too short (I find most petite pants a bit too short). I have zero regrets paying full price for these, they are my new favorite!
