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).

buy 2x larger

Glad I read the reviews before purchasing. Definitely go up at least 2 sizes for slack and comfort, up one if you want a tighter fit. What I do like is these are actual denim and not stretchy/elastic. True denim and cotton. Just my preference though!

Love Tomcat jeans but way too small

In Mother, I am a 26, maybe 25 depending on the cut. I have other tomcat jeans which are TTS, and typically love the cut of Tomcat so I was glad to see Mother brought this style back. But, these pair are not TTS, these are way too small. I can't even button them up. I would say they fit more like a 24?? They are more rigid material and I love the wash, too. Reminded me a little like Levi's thickness. I will have to return and try to exchange for at least a size, maybe two up from my normal size.

run very small

I agree with the others. These run so small. I normally wear a 28 or 29. The 29s wouldn’t even come close to buttoning. I think I would need at least a 31. The material is nice, but they’re so tiny.

RUNS SMALL! like 2 sizes too small

I love these, but the sizing is way off. Usually I am a 27 in Mother. I had to return and try 2 additional sizes. In these I am a 30. Something is off . The jeans are great, but it took a lot of time to get the right size. Please fix that!

Go Up Two Sizes

I went up two sizes and it fits perfectly. I love them. There is no stretch but that means that have a more structured look.

WAY too small

I love Mother denim and, like other reviewers, was THRILLED to see Tomcats making a comeback! they are my favorite fit! I ordered them a couple sizes up from my usual 28, and couldn't even get them all the way up. I'm crushed to return them. Come on Mother - please fix the sizing!
