The verdict
Fit
It sits at an ultra high rise, fitted through the waist and seat before flaring to a wide leg, and reviewers note the roughly 26-inch inseam hits at or above the ankle. Sizing feedback is mixed by wash, but one reviewer sizing to a true 8 found her chosen size 29 (6-8) fit spot-on, and buyers between sizes generally size up.
Quality
Independent reviewers describe the denim as on the softer side of rigid, with a comfortable soft-stretch hand; an aggregate reviewer score placed DL1961 at 3.84 out of 5 for quality across fits.
Is the price fair?
At USD 199 these sit at the premium end of the wide-leg denim category, and the soft hand plus the detailed styling feedback make that price easier to justify for a fashion-forward wide leg than for a basic pair.
Best for
A midsize or taller shopper who wants a soft, high-rise wide leg to pair with heeled boots and can accept an ankle-length inseam.
Care
Wash inside out on cold and hang or lay flat to dry to preserve the wash and minimize shrinkage on the rigid-leaning denim.

What owners report about DL1961 jeans
Owners report the line's defining trait is its stretch fabric: reviewers say the jeans are very comfortable, do not bag out, and return to shape after washing — one long-term wearer said hers fit like new after every wash. Aggregated customer feedback is more mixed on sizing, splitting between snug and too big depending on style. Customer reviews on Trustpilot include a minority reporting early failures — fabric splitting and belt loops ripping within a few months — so durability reports are not uniform.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the stretch fabric's comfort and shape retention — it stretches with the body without bagging out or losing shape between washes.
- Watch out for
- A minority of customer reviews report premature failures — fabric splits and ripped belt loops within months — and sizing feedback is inconsistent across styles.
- Sizing
- Mixed: one denim reviewer found them running slightly big and quite snug at the same waist size, while aggregated customer feedback splits between snug and too large — check the per-style fit notes before ordering.
