The verdict
Fit
The Hi N Wasted line sits high on the waist in a figure-hugging super-skinny leg, and one reviewer found the higher, more unisex cut worked well for slimmer builds. Brand-level reviews describe Ksubi denim as generally true to fit, so most can order their usual size.
Quality
One reviewer described the denim as tough and quality-feeling and noted the jeans hold their shape exceptionally well, while a repeat buyer reported Ksubi jeans lasting a good two to three years of regular wear.
Is the price fair?
At $95 this sits toward the accessible end of Ksubi's denim range, and reviewers who buy the brand repeatedly point to its multi-year durability as what justifies the premium positioning.
Best for
Slim-framed shoppers who want a high-rise, ankle-length skinny jean in a waxed black finish and are comfortable with a close, second-skin fit.
Care
Wash inside out in cold water and hang dry to help preserve the waxed black coating and the denim's 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.
