How Lucky Brand's lines hold up
Lucky Brand jeans: what owners report
Owners consistently describe the denim as soft with noticeable stretch rather than rigid, and sizing draws unusually little complaint — on one retailer's page for the 410 athletic fit, every respondent to the fit poll marked it true to size and true to width, with 73% of 344 reviewers giving five stars. A denim blogger reviewing the Hayden straight leg found the stretch blend held up better than expected, writing that after regular wear "they have held their shape pretty nicely, with minimal stretching." The recurring negative is durability at the seat: multiple reviewers on the same retailer page report crotch and inseam blowouts within roughly two months of normal wear, one noting a hole by February on a pair bought in December. Separately, complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau include indigo transfer, with one buyer reporting the dye bled onto car upholstery and white shoes.
- Strengths
- Soft, stretchy denim with sizing that reviewers report as reliable and consistent across fits and production years.
- Watch out for
- Multiple owners report crotch or inseam tears within about two months, and some report heavy dye transfer onto light-colored surfaces.
- Sizing
- Order your usual waist and inseam — retailer fit polls come back overwhelmingly true to size, though one reviewer found her normal size ran slightly large without being loose enough to size down.
