PLEATED HIGH WAISTED WIDE LEG TROUSER | INDIGO1187
The verdict
Fit
Pleated waistband, high-rise, wide leg. The pleats add volume at the hip; pair with fitted tops. Denim drape is stiffer than tailored cotton.
Quality
Denim construction is solid for this price. Pleating and waistband seaming show competent finishing.
Price check
Fair pricing for a pleated denim trouser with structured detailing. Decent value in the contemporary denim market.
Best for
Denim lovers wanting a polished, vintage-inspired silhouette for work or occasions without full tailoring.
Care
Wash inside-out, cold, and hang-dry or lay flat to preserve pleats and minimize creasing.

Fit check: Good American
Varies by lineOwners say the denim fits true to size despite looking tiny off the body, while the sweats and outerwear are cut oversized.
Across independent reviews the denim story is consistent: the jeans look alarmingly small off the body but stretch to fit true to size once on — one long-form reviewer's advice is to "order your true size rather than sizing down." The recurring caveat is Good American's combined size bands (e.g. 6-12): a Yahoo tester at the top of her band found the Always Fits pair "snug, especially through the hips and thighs," and reviewers who sit between sizes report some styles running slightly small. The sweats line reads the opposite way — pieces are deliberately roomy, with "extra fabric in the arms to create an oversized vibe," and owners size down when they want a closer fit. Fit reports on jackets and the shacket are mixed, so per-style checks matter most outside the denim.
Sizing advice: Take your usual size in the jeans even though they look tiny off the body (size up only if you're at the top of a combined size band); in the sweats, size down for anything other than an oversized fit.

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.
