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).

Too small
I actually sized up, but still too small. They were also long and unflattering on me. Nice wash, no stretch. I’ve never been a fan of stretch, but I do like a tiny bit because they will fit better and hold their shape. Lately Mother jeans have not been fitting me well. I hate to keep returning online orders but the store has a limited selection with size and style. I miss the days where you could go to the store, try different styles in a range of sizes and leave with a few pairs of jeans. I’m old.

Definately runs small
The color of the denim is a beautiful light summer wash. I would say these run at least 2 sizes too small.

bad fit
I would love to see Mother come out with a good fitting slim straight ankle Jean. This one was an awkward strange fit that I don’t think will work for many. I’ll have to keep hunting for the perfect slim straight! I hate bags jeans

Sizing is WAY off!
I read the reviews, I sized up from my normal size, and I couldn't even get the button close to buttoning! I've never worn Mother jeans, but I see them everywhere and thought I would try them because I like this light wash. I guess they are not for me. If I go up in size anymore, I'm afraid they will be too long or be baggy. I tried 2 different sizes and both are going back.

Price too high for quality
Too expensive for the quality. I returned these after wearing them once because they tore. This is the second time I’ve bought from them. I love the way the jeans look on me but the quality does not match the price.

super soft and comfortable
Unlike the other reviews, I found these to run a bit large, definitely did not run small for me. The initial fit seems fine but I worry how much they will stretch out after the first wear. Great color and super soft fabric.
