The verdict
Fit
Same high-rise, relaxed bootcut as the core Arrow, which owners generally find true to size with a notably long inseam, so shorter shoppers may want to hem.
Quality
The Arrow line is described as well made with a slight stretch that keeps its shape over wear.
Is the price fair?
The black wash carries a premium over the standard Arrow, so it is worth it mainly for shoppers who specifically want a black high-rise bootcut and value the finish.
Best for
Someone who wants a dressier all-black high-rise bootcut and does not mind paying extra for the black colorway.
Care
Wash cold inside out and air dry to keep the black from fading.

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.
