The Pencil -- Rinse

Jeans

$111as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at Frame

The verdict

On sale at 194 dollars, this narrow, high-rise cut offers good value if you favor a slim silhouette and Frame's tailor.

Fit

Pencil is a high-rise, very slim-tapered cut. Runs true to size; expect a fitted profile through hip and thigh, narrowing sharply at the calf.

Quality

Frame's standard construction. Rinse wash is lighter and will show wear faster than darker indigos; build quality remains solid.

Price check

The sale price (194 from ~260) significantly improves value here. At full price, paying for a slim silhouette alone is a stretch; the discount makes it approachable.

Best for

Slim-profile shoppers who like narrow leg openings and are willing to forgo volume for a streamlined look; sale-priced.

Care

Light rinse wash fades quickly. Wash less frequently, use cool water, and dry flat to slow fading and preserve shape.

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.
