L.L.Bean's Men's Double L Jeans, Relaxed Fit are the traditional choice for men who want a jean that sits at the natural waist. L.L.Bean describes the relaxed fit as sitting at the waist, relaxed through the hip and thigh, with a straight leg. The company calls Double L its most durable, heaviest-weight jean and its best value, made from heavyweight 100% cotton denim woven to resist abrasion, shrinking and fading, double-needle stitched and garment washed for softness. Bar-tacking and rivets reinforce stress points, and the belt loops take belts up to 1¾ inches wide. The product page lists waists up to 46 and inseams from 28 to 34, and 1,933 reviews average 4.5 out of 5. Our location saw only Polish zloty prices, so the USD price is pending and its value score is conservative. One recent review says the denim feels lighter than older pairs, so check the fabric on arrival.
