Lee's Legendary Regular Straight is the plainest answer for men who want a classic straight jean without paying premium prices. Lee describes it as a classic straight leg with a regular fit through the seat and thigh and a hint of stretch, and the product page lists a mid rise, a zip fly with button closure, three front pockets and two back flap pockets. Legendary details include branded hardware, a leather patch and Lee's lazy S-curve back pocket stitching. Waist sizes run from 28 to 42 with lengths from 29 to 36, and a Big & Tall option sits on the same page. Full price is $52.99, and lee.com offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. Reviews are mixed: 255 ratings average 3.9 out of 5, and 72% of the reviewers who answered (159 of 221) recommend it. It is a men's style, so women should look at Madewell or Everlane.
