The verdict
Fit
Across 172 Rent the Runway reviews the strong majority (121) called it true to size, with a smaller group finding it runs large, so most shoppers can order their usual size while those between sizes may prefer to size down. Owners describe it as high-rise, loose through the leg, and straight, and shorter shoppers noted the length worked well while a few taller reviewers found it slightly long in flats.
Quality
Owners describe the denim as 'great quality' and 'well made,' and one reviewer specifically noted it 'didn't stretch out' over wear. Retailer feedback also flags it as 'super stretchy' with the stretch holding its shape.
Is the price fair?
At USD 229 this sits at the premium end for a straight-leg jean, and the recurring owner praise for construction and shape retention makes the price defensible for buyers who wear denim often, though budget shoppers can find true-to-size straights for far less.
Best for
A shopper who wants a high-rise, relaxed-straight jean that can go to the office all day and is willing to pay premium pricing for construction that holds its shape.
Care
Wash inside out on cold and hang or lay flat to dry to protect the wash and preserve the fit owners praise.

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.
