The verdict
Fit
It is a high-rise, looser-fitting wide leg cut cropped above the ankle; reviewers of this silhouette report a stretchy blend that molds to the body, but sizing runs are mixed, with one retailer's stylist noting fit "runs small at the crotch" and the inseam that "may hit at or above the ankle."
Quality
The raw, frayed cuff and faded, whiskered wash are the defining details of this variant, and owners of the line repeatedly describe the fabric as unusually soft and stretchy rather than stiff.
Is the price fair?
At USD 278 this sits at the premium end of the denim category, and the comfort-forward stretch fabric and finished detailing are what buyers point to as justifying that price rather than a rigid heritage-denim feel.
Best for
Someone who wants a soft, high-rise cropped wide-leg jean with a deliberately undone raw hem and is willing to try a size for the hip fit.
Care
Machine wash inside out and pre-wash before any hemming, since minor shrinkage can occur and the raw cuff is meant to fray gently over time.

What owners report about Frame jeans
Owners report Frame's stretch-blend denim is soft with enough weight to still feel like real jeans, and that the cuts fit close through the seat and thigh without a baggy crotch. The recurring caution is stretch behavior: the denim opens up over multiple wears, with extra room developing at the waistband, and one reviewer of a rigid cotton cut deliberately sized down to compensate. Owners also flag the price — reviewers cite Los Angeles manufacturing for retail prices averaging around $230 — and one long-term owner recommends buying the line secondhand for value.
- Strengths
- Reviewers praise the soft, stretchy denim that holds a close, flattering fit — one calls the fabric stretchy but still sturdy, with no bagging complaints in normal wear.
- Watch out for
- The denim stretches out with wear — waistbands loosen over multiple wears — and one reviewer notes elastane-blend jeans will not wear as long as rigid 100% cotton denim.
- Sizing
- Reports conflict by cut: one reviewer calls Frame true to size, another sizes up in the skinny cuts because Frame runs slightly small, and a reviewer of the rigid Le Jane sized down because the denim naturally stretches after multiple wears.
