This is last time I’ll order NYDJ from Amazon. First pair was very badly rehemmed (by previous customer?) and tag read “Made in Mexico”. Second pair is a style and size I have two older pairs of–Marilyn straight leg, regular length, size 0. This one is smaller in waist and thighs than my old pairs, and a good 3 inches longer! And, guess what, “Made in Mexico” again. I don’t avoid buying items made in Mexico, but Amazon/seller description claims “Made in USA”, and that’s one of NYDJ’s claims on their website too, so it makes me wonder if these are knockoffs?

I’ve been purchasing NYDJ jeans for a decade now and have never had an issue until this pair of pants. They fit great, however the material has dimpled after two wears. I’d love to hear from the manufacturer.

I have not had these long and the stitching is coming undone. I have never seen a pair of jeans do this let alone a pair that cost this much. Sad. Are the NYDJ sold on Amazon 2nd quality? 2 months later this is what the fabric looks like. Very disappointed I have wore NYDJ for 10 years. I now have 3 pairs doing this.

These are the nicest fitting jeans I have ever owned. I am 5’8 170 lbs size 12. I have a “muffin top” (hate that cutsy expression!) from having my babies and have had the hardest time finding the right waistline.. all of the jeans on the market seem too too lowrise.
In fact, these jeans look better on me now than any other jeans did when I was super skinny. Love love – just goes to show, when you really make an effort to make a decent pair of jeans it can be done for any size!

Let me start by saying that I own many pairs of NYDJ jeans. Mostly Marilyn. These are a little different than the other Marilyn jeans because of the “Future Fit Denim”. The denim retains more heat so you wouldn’t want to wear these in hot weather. I love the fit. In fact they fit nicer than all the other Marilyn jeans I own BUT…..I can’t hem the darn things. Let me explain:
I’m not sure what Future Fit means but they feel stretchier and a little thicker. The back of the fabric (part against your skin) is black not the whitish reverse denim you’d expect. So you wouldn’t want to roll them up ever because they would look strange. But the biggest issue I have is I always have to hem new jeans when I get them. I’m just a tad shorter than 5’8″ and I like my inseam around 32″ for heals or 30-ish for flats. These jeans come very long. I think they were 34″. I sew garments and have hemmed a lot of things so I know my way around the process. These jeans are impossible to hem. The material stretches so much that if you hemmed them by machine, no matter how careful you are, they stretch as you sew and the hem looks awful. I had to pull out the hem twice before I gave up and hemmed them by hand. Then I pulled that out because it looked weird, like they were just folded under. I finally gave up and just cut them to length and pulled on the threads to fray the edges. The frayed threads are black but it’s not that noticeable from a distance.
As far as their sizing goes, I ordered them in my usual size, not a size down as they suggest. I’m 5′ 8″, 145lbs and usually wear an 8. I probably could have ordered a 6 but I don’t like my jeans extremely tight. If I was in my 20s, maybe, but not anymore. These size 8 jeans aren’t loose, they fit just perfectly and don’t stretch out after awhile either like other jeans.
So I’m giving these 4 stars because I love them and leaving off a star because I’m not crazy about the hem/fabric.

I ordered these in the Burbank wash. The inseam said 33″, so I thought they’d be okay for my 5’7″ frame. Nope. First of all, the color does not look like it does in the photo. There isn’t fading on the butt or thighs. I didn’t think these jeans complemented by butt at all.. they made it look flat as a pancake. There is a decent amount of stretch, so they were comfortable. But they were WAY too short. Like, level with the top of my ankle bone, and showing too much ankle.
The material is thick and stretchy, but the color, detail, and construction look cheaply made. I just cannot understand why these are so dang expensive. These shouldn’t be more than thirty dollars, tops. They are super basic, generic jeans. I don’t get it.

I’ve been buying NYDJ for over 10 years and the quality of jeans made in the USA were superb. Things seemed to have changed. I’m always a size 0 (denim and ponte knit) but when my new Marilyn jeans arrived, I couldn’t get them over my thighs. I didn’t think to check the reviews which I normally do these days because NYDJ has never let me down. I sent them back and ordered a size 2 which are just ok but the difference between sizes is enormous. I checked the reviews, then checked my size 2 Marilyn’s and guess what … not made in the USA, made in Mexico. I also had a very good look at the quality and it’s so inferior to the NYDJ quality I’ve become used to over the years. I’ll keep the size 2 only because I’ve taken the tags off. But a warning … don’t be like me and just assume that NYDJ is still the superb quality it used to be. Do your homework first. Won’t be purchasing their jeans again until they can guarantee they are made in the US.

I was extremely and pleasantly surprised when I put them on. They are flattering, have just enough stretch to be comfortable. I’m 5’9″ and the length is perfect. The fabric is heavy enough to give you confidence that no one can see through them. In a word…perfect!

Wish Amazon would make the sizing clearer when ordering NYDJ Jeans. It should clearly state whether it is US or UK sizes as it makes a huge difference. As usual though, excellent return service back to the States and unbelievably quick refund. Thank you Amazon and retailer !!!
