The verdict
Fit
Classic bootcut flares gently at ankle; faux leather offers zero stretch, so fit is rigid once purchased—try on carefully, returns vary by retailer.
Quality
High price does not guarantee durability; faux leather creases and cracks regardless of brand, expect 1–2 years before visible wear.
Is the price fair?
Premium pricing reflects brand cachet and tailoring, not material quality; you're paying largely for design and fit.
Best for
Shoppers who own a faux leather bootcut in their size elsewhere and want Good American's specific cut and proportions.
Care
Wipe clean only; never machine wash or dry clean faux leather—use mild soap on a soft cloth.
What owners report about Good American pants
Owners report the stretch is the defining trait of Good American's bottoms — very stretchy fabric that reads snug out of the box and loosens slightly with wear — and the gap-proof waistband claim largely holds up, with curvy reviewers reporting no gapping at the back. Wide-leg palazzo styles run long: a 5'4" reviewer found the inseam definitely long and owners plan on hemming or heels. The size-range bands are imperfect — reviewers at either end of their band report snug or loose fits depending on style — and the price draws repeated comment as a hefty spend.
- Strengths
- Heavy stretch plus a waistband that genuinely doesn't gap on curvy hips is what owners praise most consistently.
- Watch out for
- Sizing varies by style and within the brand's combined size bands, inseams run long for shorter owners, and anyone wanting a structured, rigid fabric will find the stretch-heavy feel wrong for them.
- Sizing
- Reviewers say the pants fit true to size once on but look and feel small at first; if you sit between sizes or at the edge of a size band, size up, and expect to hem long inseams if you're petite.
