Gap long and lean jeans?

Did they shrink when you washed them?  Did you hang them to dry? I got 2 different sizes but may change the smaller ones if they will shrink : )

Are they long for anyone else?  I am average height and they are long (I owuld have to wear boots with them).

Re: Gap long and lean jeans?

  • Yes, they do shrink a little, but they stretch out a bit after they're worn for a while, so keep that in mind. I would go for the smaller size because of the stretching.

    I do find them long. I am 5'9 and the regular length fits and is long enough for me to wear a heel.

  • I have a pair from two years ago, before the whole 1969 thing, and they do not really shrink. But, the new ones are stretchier so from what I've read on here, they will reshape and then stretch out again.

  • Mine shrink when I wash them and put them in the dryer, but stretch A LOT while wearing them. They fit perfectly when I first put them on, but get so loose after wearing them for the day that they start sliding down. Length wise they may have shrunk a little, but not that much. The longs are very long. I'm 5'10" and have to wear boots with them. Regular length fits me perfectly with flats.

  • I am so jealous that you guys are able to wear something called "long and lean."  I guess they won't be making something labelled short and chubby anytime soon....

    The names are really deceptive -- I'm 5'4" with curvy hips and butt, and the long and lean jeans fit great, but the jeans called "curvy" don't fit me well at all.

    I agree! I'm very roomy and curvy throughout the hips and butt. These fit perfectly.?

  • I wish mine would shrink. Ibought a pair 2 weeks ago and now they are so big on me...I can't wear them without a belt and even them they just don't fit as well as they did when I tried them on the store.  I am not a fan :(

    I'm 5;6 and they are pretty long

  • I agree with the others that they shrink a bit but then stretch out as you are wearing them.

    And I do have to wear mine with heels if I don't want them dragging, but I think the longer length is part of the design.

    So funny, I had the exact same experience. I think the L&L's are for people who want to LOOK L&L while the Curvy are for long & lean people who want to appear curvy. Thanks the only thing I can think of. lol.

    i just had this argument (well, not an argument, discussion i guess) with a friend of mine.  i agree, i think they make you look l&l, and the curvy make you look curvy.  i mean, think about it, how many woman actually think they are long and lean?  like two? in the whole world?  everyone wants to look long and lean.  and the curvy fit me really well and im not particularly curvy.
