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).

run a little big

These jeans are super soft and a great color. I’m normally between a 28-29. In Mother a 29 and these are pretty big. They are super stretchy.

love the fit and stretch

These are great. Just to be clear the pair I am reviewing is made of 78% cotton 16%.Modal 4% polyester and 2% elastane. They are great and I love the cut and I love the stretch, but I’m wearing two sizes small smaller than some of my other Mother denim that has 95% cotton. No big deal but just beware when you order. These are great for the summer and great to show off fun cute shoes.

Cute and Comfortable

These are really cute once you get the right size. I had to size down 2 sizes. I’m normally a 28 and got these in a 26. They are super stretchy and comfortable. They’re a perfect ankle-length straight leg. I think I’ll get a lot of wear out of these.

AMAZING!

These jeans are incredible. They run a size larger than most of my Mother Denim but no complaints from me. The Newbie is my new favorite style. Typically a size 26 and take a 25 in these jeans. I have purchased them in every wash. Beyond fabulous.
