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).
Love the style. It’s different than my other pairs and the material is a nice thick quality. However, would recommend sizing down at least 1 size. No t consistent with other style.

huge
These were 2 sizes too big in the hips, waist and butt. If they made a 22 I would buy them. very cute and the color was bright blue and perfect for summer denim. I’m normally a 24 or 25 in mother for a reference . Size down and you will be happy with this purchase .

comfy but BIIIIG
There's a formula for my sizing in Mother jeans. I'm normally size 27-28 if 95-100% cotton jeans. But with Mother jeans' 78% cotton and the rest is synthetic, I'm a 26! With this Coastal Colors Rambler Ankle jeans, I'm a 25!!! Very comfy jeans but still a wee long for me at 5'1.

Runs Very Large
I got the Rambler in another color and love it so much that I jumped right into getting these without realizing they are a mid rise (mine are a higher rise that suits me better.) These are the same buttery soft fabric content as my others, but they just have a 9 inch rise vs 12. They also run a lot larger than the others (very frustrating but par for the course with MOTHER. I am normally a size 12 in jeans but I often have to size up to 32 in this brand. The brand's actual size chart shows 12 is a 32, so that might be the reason. For these, I decided to go for the 32 and they were sized as if they were a 16. Overall, the wash was beautiful, the denim was great but I didn't want to do the whole guessing game and order two more sizes just to find the one that fit.

Great jeans
Extremely comfortable and look just like the pictures. Mid-rise and they run about 2 sizes small - 5'4'' / 120 lbs and normally wear 26/27 depending on style - purchased 24 and they fit like the model :)

Perfect Jean
First pair of Mother jeans and love them. I can’t wear the high waisted jeans and these fit great. Not to high or low. The material gives and they are very comfortable. Color is perfect. I have short legs and these fit great I paired with some flats but still work well with a boot, heal or wedge.
