The Lax -- Numeral Raw Fray

Jeans

$149as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at Frame

The verdict

The darker Numeral wash of The Lax delivers the same relaxed high-rise flare with more substantial denim than the white; buy true to size or size down for a closer leg.

Fit

Same wide, flared cut that sits just above the hip; the stylist notes it runs large, and an owner comparing washes found the darker colors truer to size and less baggy than the bright white pair.

Quality

Non-stretch rigid denim owners call good quality; the darker washes were described as thicker and less sheer than the white version, with the raw, frayed hem as an intended detail.

Price check

Around $208 places it in premium designer denim; the fit and denim quality justify it for buyers set on this relaxed flare, though it remains a splurge over everyday jeans.

Best for

A shopper who wants the relaxed Lax flare in a darker, more forgiving and substantial wash.

Care

Wash cold and hang dry to limit shrinkage and protect the raw frayed hem.

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.
