Awesome denim staple

I actually love these jeans. I didn’t think I’d go for a light wash, but the checkerboard pattern makes the dimension really interesting. I liked them a little oversized, a little baggy. Might have to pick these up at the end of the season…

I loved these jeans so much. They were a bit big for a 24, specifically on the waist, but it didn't compromise the look at all. I'll buy these some day!

These shockingly go with everything. The pattern is just subtle enough but still interesting. So many compliments.

Team RTR Review

Tried both the size 25 and 26 – I was able to button the 25, but 26 was the perfect loose style they were meant for. Got so many compliments on these from strangers!

90s kids rejoice!

These were so much fun and the actual stitching and details of the denim is incredible. Overall a looser fit but once I styled, I kept these on repeat.

Oversized, definitely

Currently I'm 165 pounds wearing a size 10/wore these in size 10/30 - but my waist is at about 34 inches and my hips are over 40 inches. These were a bit baggy on me. I wouldn't have wanted to size down. Tried to get a close up of the fabric in a photo- the two different denim tones in checkerboard pattern are unique. This is the highest quality pair of jeans I've ever worn and I regret returning them. The pattern is actually more subtle in real life, I think it photographs more intense that it actually is. R13 hasn't let me down yet. Please get more jeans and denim from them!

Funky, high quality, size down.

I love these, I still may purchase. They’re very nice quality and feel great on. Like the other reviews say, they are very big. I went with a 26 and they were perfect (usually 28). Long for me, as most pants are, but the rolled-up vibe worked.

I LOVE these jeans. They are so comfortable I can’t believe it. I could size down even one more size for a tighter fit but I think they fit pretty nicely. I got so many compliments!

Super cool & unique

These jeans fit soooo comfortably and they are just so unique. They look cuter than this photo shows also- especially with a shirt untucked :) I would snatch them up in a second if they weren't so expensive!

At first I thought too baggy, then I bought them!

These are so comfy & unique. They do run large but they are "boyfriend" cut, so should fit loose. The fabric is both rich & lightweight. I've never dropped this much $ on jeans in my life, but I had to buy. I have to cuff them cuz I'm short. But I might have them hemmed.

Love these!

Based on other reviews I sized down 2 sizes (from 28 to 26). Wish I'd gone with a 27 bc I like a roomier fit in boyfriend jeans but they still fit nicely! I love the style and uniqueness, they're not dyed checkered it's actually 2 tones of Jean material woven together. Feels v high-end, which explains the price tag. Loved them and wish I could justify the cost to purchase!!

Runs large so I sized down

These are supposed to be oversized but that worried me from the pictures so I sized way down. I liked them and would consider one more size up ( sz 2) for a looser fit but not giant. These are a 0 and I am a 4 at best. Small in the waist in a sized down version...they fit and the fabric is great. Hope that's helpful. Ordering not yet reviewed pieces is always a gamble.

Shouldn't have gone a size down

I really liked these jeans, especially the length given my height. I went down a size, but I shouldn't have as these are pretty thick and never stretched out for me in the waist.

Size down- I took this advise and they fit perfectly despite not being a size 25 any longer!

I would definitely rent again but be aware they do run large. I usually am a 27/28 and the 25s fit perfectly.

Neutral pattern

Loved this pants, just wish they fit in the waist a little better. I went with my usual pant size, but definitely could have sized down. Alas, the pattern was a lovely pop within a neutral outfit.

Loved these jeans, so fun. But they were tight at my waist and didn’t look great on me. Wore them anyway because I liked the checkers.

Adorable Jeans, somewhat of a weird fit

I wore these so much. They’re so cute and would have kept but I couldn’t justify the price for such distinctive jeans. Also beware mindful of the crotch area, they looked best on me with a longer shirt

The coolest jeans!

These are very, very cool. I don't think I wear the fit the way the designer intended (they're a little fitted on me), but they're amazing. The fabric is gorgeous but has NO STRETCH. I'd buy them if they weren't so spendy!
