Lands' End Women's Starfish Mid Rise Knit Denim Straight Jeans

This is the 2nd pair of these that I have ordered. I returned the first pair because they were extremely long and I thought maybe they had been sized incorrectly. I decided to try another pair because I have been wearing the OLD style of Starfish jeans for years and years and my several pairs are wearing out. I am keeping this second pair because I need pants, but they are AWFUL. 1. They are way too long, way longer than the old style even though they are the same size. 2. The fabric is very flimsy and the fit is just somehow 'off' in a way I can't describe. They just don't hang correctly. 3. There is a chemical smell that does not want to go away. I have washed them twice, hung them outside on a chair in the sun for two full days, and also laid them out on my lawn in the sun for an entire day. I am wearing these pants right now as I type; I have had them on for about two hours, and the smell is so bad it is unbearable and literally giving me a headache. I cannot recommend these pants and am not sure they are going to be of any use to me. I might be able to wear them outside in the garden and hope the chemical smell eventually dissipates. I am very very disappointed that Lands End has not responded in a positive way to the many, many bad reviews these pants have gotten since they changed the style and fabric. I was really hoping that the pants would be ok if not great, but they are simply awful. Just awful.

Overall I do like these jeans, but wish they had belt loops. After a couple times wearing them they start to get loose;

Love the fit on these and just ordered another pair

I bought these jeans in size small and they are way too long. Usually LE gives you a choice between 30 and 31 And these are 31 1/2. I love the soft light weight material they would be perfect for the spring and summer!

Way too long, rise and hem, for a petite size. I returned this pair.

I bought this jean because I am older and love elastic waist pants/jeans. They feel comfortable. However, I am extremely disappointed that the pockets are not deep enough to hold my iPhone 11 pro-Max. I wish that manufacturers would make women's pants with pockets that are deep as men's. I prefer not carrying a purse all the time but with this pair of jeans I will be forced to in order to keep my phone secure.

I have washed these 4 times and they still reeked of mothballs. I see complaints about this going back MONTHS. You'd think it would have been fixed by now!

I love these jeans! I was sad when the old style I had worn so much was no longer available, but I tried these and I am very happy with them. They fit well. I love the pull on stretch fabric. So comfortable!

Please bring pack the demin leggings from last year the slimmer elastic waist no pocket leggings fit great thank you

These knit jeans are unwearable, due to a strong chemical odor that won't wash out. There are reviews with comments about this going back months, but clearly the problem still hasn't been fixed. I would skip these.

These are my new favorite jeans (my old favorites were the sport knit denim that apparently are no longer available). I've now ordered all three denim colors. My only complaint is the length. At 5'4", I find misses too long, and petite is just barely long enough if they don't shrink (so far they haven't). Otherwise, the fit is good, I like the colors, and I haven't noticed any smell others have complained about.

I bought these pants and thought by now Lands End would have solved the problem of the terrible chemical smell….but no. I have washed these pants (on their own, so the smell won’t spread to other clothes) 6 times. They fit well but I’m not sure they are worth the effort

Was excited to get this. Right size. Did the hemming it required and then discovered the elastic in the waistband was shot, as the pants fell off, giving them away.

I've LOVED the comfort and fit of these Starfish Jeans since my first pair a few years ago. They still snag easily, but the fabric seems more durable than the earlier ones.

I am so disappointed in my last pair of these jeans. I have been buying these jeans for several years and I loved them. So comfortable and subtle. The company has switched the fabric to one with less cotton and they aren't near as nice. They snag very easily and have a very polyester appearance. They also stretch more and slide down so that my usual size doesn't fit as well. I'd be willing to pay more for the old design! I really got my money's worth from them.

I really liked the old version that was more than 95% cotton. Adding the polyester makes the pants less durable and they snag easily. Who ever heard of jeans snagging?? The style and fit has also changed for the worse. Please bring back the cotton versions.

These were always my favorite jeans in recent years- until this last purchase. The horrific odor emanating from the medium sea blue Starfish jeans is not only nauseating- but embarrassing. I tried soaking in vinegar and washed them 4 times without wearing, and the odor will NOT go away. I thought I had succeeded in ridding the odor, until I put them on yesterday and there it was! It seems the odor is “heat activated” from my body. It’s disgusting! My husband could even smell it and told me to throw the jeans away. I am heartbroken. I need to find new pants from somebody else that fit this well. :(

I really do like these jeans. I like the fit and stretch, however I am pretty tired of the terrible smell. I have previously brought this to LE attention but it is still an issue. I find it concerning that it still isn’t being addressed with QA. I have washed my most recent pair 3 times and they are still embarrassingly smelly. Not to mention it stank up my other laundry. Buyer beware.

Inconsistent sizing. I ordered two pairs in two different colors. One is much longer than the other. Both are marked the same size. The material is very soft and comfortable but it snags on EVERYTHING.

Smelled so musty when I opened the bag there was no way I could keep them. What a shame, because I did try them on and they would probably have been a keeper, although seemed a bit too long.
