HI N WASTED TRUE VINTAGE

Jeans

$190as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Ksubi

The verdict

Worth it for a slim-framed shopper who wants a high-rise super-skinny that keeps its shape all day, provided they accept a snug, less curve-forgiving cut.

Fit

It is a high-rise, super-skinny jean cropped at the ankle and fitted through the hip and leg. A reviewer notes the brand tends to run on the smaller side, but the higher cut let her usual size 27 work; curvier frames may want to size up.

Quality

The denim is soft yet holds its shape well: one owner reported the knees did not bag and the waist did not stretch out even after wearing them for days at a time.

Price check

At USD 190 it sits at the premium end of the category, and the reported shape retention is the main thing justifying that over cheaper skinny denim.

Best for

A slim or straight-framed shopper who wants a figure-hugging high-rise skinny in a vintage-blue wash that stays put through long wear.

Care

Wash cold inside out with like colors and skip the tumble dryer to preserve the wash and the stretch.

What owners report about Ksubi jeans

Owners report thick, rigid denim with little to no give — several rental-service reviewers note there is no stretch at all, while one reported a pair stretching about two sizes over a day, so experiences vary by style. The slim cuts are made for narrow frames, and curvier owners frequently find them restrictive or hard to sit in at their usual size. Long-term owners report pairs lasting a few years and holding their shape.

Strengths: Owners praise the thick, sturdy denim and report pairs lasting a good 2-3 years of wear while keeping their shape.
Watch out for: The recurring complaints are the rigid, no-give fabric and the narrow cut — restrictive when sitting, a poor match for curvier shapes, and waists that run small on several styles.
Sizing: Rental-service owners most often report the jeans running small, especially in the waist, and advise sizing up, while other reviewers call the slim cuts true to size — check per style.
