Update

By Tim M., Santa Maria, CA, Verified Reviewer

One updated note. They said a supervisor would call me. I gave them the time I would be available and they confirmed. No call. Just par for the course.

Customer support/customer service

By Clifford D., Laguna Niguel, CA, Verified Reviewer

The Customer Support/Customer Service representatives are TERRIBLE! They can not answer a question properly! I explained what products do not work for me and Gabriel suggested the same products I told him that do not work for me. Absolute idiot!

Are these jeans anti-feminist?

By Melissa P, San Francisco, CA, Verified Reviewer

These jeans had a lot going for them—the texture and feel of the denim was good, and felt fairly high quality. Also, the Internet is losing its mind about them, for some reason. But don't believe the hype. These jeans don't like real women. Or at least women who have to, you know, walk around on their legs, and do normal stuff like run down the subway stairs.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Melissa, thanks for the great feedback! We just wanted to follow-up with you as we have launched many different styles that vary on their elongation capacities (more or less stretch), weights (light/heavy fabrics), and we now have many colors, fits, and sizes. Additionally, we added t-shirts (short and long sleeves) and gorgeous cashmere sweaters. Take a look: https://www.mottandbow.com/womens/best-sellers.html Let us know if you have any questions, we'll be happy to help.

They don't publish negative reviews

By Rick, California, Verified Reviewer

I wrote a 3-star review of one of their jeans, and after verifying my email address, the review has still not been published several days later). No wonder they have 5-star reviews on all their denim; they hide the negative reviews!

They are decent jeans, but they are not perfect.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Liked these jeans but…

By Diana, Verified Reviewer

I liked these jeans. They are great jeans, but I just don't think they're worth the money. I fell into the whole "slimming" thing but all they are is just tight, stretchy jeans with not a whole lot of slimming. You can tell the quality is good but I don't think it's worth the money. Unless you have that kind of money to spend on jeans, then go for it! Just don't fall into the whole "slimming" train.

Order down a size

By Hayden M, Phoenix, AZ, Verified Reviewer

Man, I thought these were perfect. Love the light distressing and color and comfort but found that the waist stretch out a bit after wearing for a few hours and I end up having to tug them up all the time. They still look great as long as I keep them pulled up. I'll probably add an extra button to try to tighten the waist and hopefully, that will help.

I should have kept the almost too tight pair instead but the coloring was different and not as nice. Customer service explained that the jeans are 'handcrafted' so that explains why the coloring was different. Anyways, I guess the sizing issue was on me so I'll see how the jeans hold up and decide later if I place a new order.

Good jeans/poor shipping

By John, Piak, Verified Reviewer

Really nice jeans, they're comfortable and good looking. The black pair of jeans I ordered is of better quality than other premium jeans I've owned (7 for all mankind, Paige, etc).

Mott and Bow should consider giving more shipping options. 10 days to 2 weeks to deliver my order is not acceptable. Happy to pay for next-day delivery if that would've been a choice. Other than that, the jeans are good quality and are worth the money invested in them.

Great looking jeans, but…

By Travis, Verified Reviewer

The jeans are high-quality and comfortable as they claim they are. However, I wish the jeans came in 31-inch length so I didn't need to take them in for alterations, but realize this is an inventory nightmare.

Consider offering alterations at an additional price! I'd pay more and buy more from you.

Perfect for business casual.

By Alice, Verified Reviewer

These jeans fit well and look good. They are suitable for my day to day at the office (tech company) or on the street. For the price, they seem perfect. There is just the right amount of stretch to be comfortable sitting down. Not too tight or loose.

The stitching is a bit plain but that's fine for the price.

I own a more comfortable pair of jeans but they cost 2x as much. And it's possible these will wear in a bit.

I love my new Mott & Bow jeans

By Frances, Verified Reviewer

Although I wish I had sized down my extra pair instead of up. That said, I did keep my 27s, and I do like them. I usually wear a 27 or 28 in most pants. They keep their shape, unlike most similarly priced jeans out there. They have enough stretch, but not so much that they become distorted.

I can actually wear these more than 1x before washing/drying so that's great! If you're looking to get a pair from Mott & Bow make sure you go a size down.

I must say I'm happy with the jeans and will get more in the future.

Very skinny, but nice jeans!

By Raquel S, Verified Reviewer

I don't have small calves, not fat but they are muscle-y. I could not get my legs all the way through the pant legs. The waist would have fit fine, but I couldn't get them up over my legs. If you have skinny pencil-like legs these jeans are for you.

On the other hand, they're really nice jeans for the price. They look amazing and feel more expensive but sadly, skinny jeans are not for me. I'll give their 'boyfriend' jeans a try.

Really nice skinny jeans

By Heather M, Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

I loved the feel of these jeans. I ordered a size down but did not need to; they were a bit too small. I did not reorder my regular size because the calves are VERY narrow and these are hard for me to put on. They are truly skinny jeans, so if that's what you're looking for, go for it!

Bond Black

By Lori T, San Francisco, California, Verified Reviewer

Love the color and material of this denim. The fit is generally good, they hold their shape after wearing. I'm a size 26 in these as I am in most denim. They're mid-rise and fit well for the most part. My only complaint is that they don't seem to be made for people with a little more curve in the back as they fit my hips and legs, but slide down when I sit.

I wanted a 'free try on' additional size but I didn't see that anywhere on their website. Otherwise, I love them. Great jeans for a decent price.

Finally found a pair of jeans that fit me perfectly

By Savanna F, Chicago, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

I have tried so many different kinds of jeans, all of which have never worked for me. I am happy to say I finally found a pair that fits my figure perfectly, from my waist to my ankles these jeans fit like a glove.

The only thing I would want to change is maybe the denim material itself. It just seems a bit thin to be considered 'premium denim'. Maybe having that clear on the site like which style has thicker fabric would be appreciated. Other than that I love these jeans.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Polished and high quality

By Lauren B, Miami, FL, Verified Reviewer

These jeans retain their shape very well and the dark black looks very sleek. The rise and inseam are perfect for me. I am usually a 27 in J.Crew and Madewell but a 26 in AG & J Brand. I took these in a 26. My only complaint is that they are not as stretchy as I would like. I think they will break in and feel fine, but at first, I feel like I have a little-limited range of motion in my knees considering how skinny they are in the legs.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It is in the details…

By Rebecca C, Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

The jean material was excellent. The jean cut was good. The inside lining of the left pocket (with the white color) shows a bit which is a small, but a very visible error.

The customer service is really good, all of my doubts were cleared. Overall, the jeans are a fairly good value for the price. I most likely would purchase again as I like the styles offered.

Great jeans, odd fit for athletic body type

By Anna A, NY, NY, Verified Reviewer

I loved the look and feel of the boyfriend jeans I bought. I got two sizes since I hadn't bought this brand and sizes often vary. I bought boyfriend jeans because I have trouble with skinny jeans around my calves. I have strong calves so often skinny jeans are too tight.

Boyfriend jeans typically have a looser cut but, they were fine around the waist, they were still very tight at my calves. This caused the jeans to kind of pull down as I walked. I had to return them both because both sizes had this problem. The company was just excellent about the return. I would try them if they came up with another cut because the feel of the material is awesome.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love my Mott & Bow jeans

By Erica, Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

I tried one pair of Mott & Bow high rise women's jeans, and I love them! The are very tapered at the ankle, so I love the slimming silhouette. I am 45 years old and had a 21-year-old niece ask me where I got my jeans. They are very simple and stylish. I am ordering two more pairs now.

Super comfy if they fit you

By Arthur Chan, San Jose, California, Verified Reviewer

I'm accustomed to hunting for jeans with high elastane content and nothing beats these. Soft to the touch and very very stretchy - for jeans. Fit wise, they fit around my waist at the same size to my 3301 slims. I also got a pair of SLIM - OLIVER - RAW, but if you know about raw denim you know this won't stretch at all.

Relatively the Wooster jeans I ordered as well are made to be a little bit slimmer due to extra elasticity, therefore, don't freak out if it's more tapered than others. Allin all, I'm happy with my purchase and I'll be buying more jeans from Mott and Bow, that's for sure!

They finally did it!

By John, Verified Reviewer

I love Mott & Bow jeans and I'm a loyal customer to the brand. They had this special style that I like but they're no longer manufacturing it which is a bummer because I love the stretch on those. So I write an email like two months ago asking for them to reconsider in making more jeans like those and they listened.

I appreciate a company that can take feedback and makes positive changes. The just introduced a new style with the 4-way stretch I like so I'm placing a new order today. Kudos to them!

Comfortable and fit great!

By Maria, Verified Reviewer

I'm curvier on the bottom and I must say was skeptical about these jeans. I've been too lazy to go to a local store, so wanted to give these a try since I had seen positive reviews everywhere. They do not disappoint. The cut for me is fantastic, and goes up high enough to cover my muffin top -- bring on the white t-shirts! I will say that I also got the Mid Rise Skinny. Those fit great as well, however, I am a different size in each style.

Customers should keep that in mind when trying them out and definitely go with the try at home pair for first time orders.

Birthday Jeans

By Joyce, Verified Reviewer

I needed new jeans because I've lost a few inches in my hips over the last year. These fit great. Super Soft. Pretty good length on me actually! I like the rise and the wash. I kept the size 27. I'm 5'3", hips 38" waist 32" around 129lbs. Hope this helps future shoppers. I'm not 100% sure what size I am to know if they run true to size, small or big. But I typically wear somewhere between 27-29.

As comfy as my yoga pants!

By Catherine , Verified Reviewer

Not exactly like yoga pants, but pretty darn close! I just received my pair in the mail yesterday and immediately tried them on. I am so glad they send a second size just in case since I can run between sizes depending on the brand. I love how they already feel like I've owned them for months. SO COMFY, I could live in these.

For me, the jeans run true to size. I typically wear a 26. The waist a touch large but that's my own problem for being between a 25 and 26. Also, for being 5'4, the inseam is great as well for cuffing. I am really impressed with these jeans and hoping my other non-Mott & Bow jeans wear holes soon so I can order more pairs of these!

Mid Rise Skinny Jane Medium Blue

By Rebecca R, New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

These jeans are great! The waistband is a little roomy and the thighs are pretty tight, but they have enough stretch that it all works out. I'm 5'0 and always have trouble finding short jeans. One thing though, I recommend Mott & Bow make 28-inch inseams in all of their women jeans as it's only available in select styles.

On the other hand, the jeans I got are pretty spot on and I'm happy with my purchase. I could use an inch shorter inseam but overall they're good quality jeans that I don't feel the need to have them hemmed.

Best black denim that I owned ever!

By Joyelle W, New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

I was hesitant to order a pair from Mott and Bow, especially because I wear 28-inch length and there is no option for a "try on" size on the style I wanted. I'm so glad I ordered regardless! They fit perfectly and make my legs and hip look great. They are the most comfortable denim ever. I wish the other colors fit the same way though. I also got Jane (medium blue) but they were definitely much tighter than the black pair, so I had to return.

Please make all the sizes consistent. I'd buy every single color available if other colors also fit like the black pair!

I'm 102 lbs/5'2 and the size 24/28 is perfect. Hope this helps someone out there thinking of buying Mott & Bow jeans.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
