"These jeans are not true to size. I am a 6/26 in many brands, and sized up to 27 due to customer reviews. The jeans are still several inches too small at the waist. Because of Everlane’s poor return policy, they are now sitting around with no use. I won’t be buying from Everlane again."

Your best butt—minus the waist gap
Featuring the same super-high rise, classic straight leg, and raised back hook seam as our Cheeky Jean, The Cheeky Hourglass Jean is specifically designed for curvier shapes who like pants to be nipped in the waist with more room in the hips, without the waist gap. (If you prefer a little more space in the waist, try our regular fit instead). This organic cotton* style features a form-hugging fit through the hip and thigh and our specially engineered Happy Pockets, which are set higher and closer together to give your backside a bouncy, lifted look.

Sustainability
Conventional denim production is dirty business and we’re on a mission to clean it up. Here's how we're doing it differently—and why that matters for you.
Better denim starts with better materials. We prioritize certified organic and regenerative cotton — a tiny share of the world's supply — grown with less water and healthier soil practices. That same intention carries through to production: state-of-the-art factories that recycle up to 98% of their water, using ozone washing, air drying, and renewable energy to reduce water and energy use by design.
We work with mills and wash houses that have verifiably reduced chemical use, moving away from harmful treatments common in conventional denim. Our partners are independently tested against leading safer chemistry standards like bluesign, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and ZDHC — not self-reported claims. Fewer chemicals in your jeans, safer conditions for the people who make them, and lower environmental impact.
We don't guess at environmental impact — we verify it. Using Jeanologia's EIM, the industry benchmark standard for environmental denim wash impact, 96% of our washes score low to medium — meaning significantly less water, energy, and chemicals than conventional denim.
Our denim fabric is rigorously third-party tested multiple times from development through pre-production — verifying durability, consistency, and performance across fabric weight, tear strength, and color fastness. The result: denim built to get better with age, with more years in your wardrobe and fewer replacements.

Reviews
Runs so small
"This is a nice enough Jean but the sizing is bizarre. I had to buy two sizes up from my usual which was a bummer because it was final sale, my bad I guess. If you look at the size chart it’s actually an inch smaller than the number (e. g. size 28 is for a size 27 waist)."
Not Curvy Fit
"Curvy fit size 6 typically fits me, but these were nowhere close to being able to close. The fit is not like any other jeans I have tried on. Save yourself the money and don't buy these!"
These are the perfect jeans
"These are the perfect jeans for curvy girls. The waist was a little tight at first, but eventually loosened up. I had to make sure it was the right length though because I had initially ordered the short ones and could not return or exchange them. Thankfully they fit my mom and I got the correct length."
A comfy pair of jeans in organic cotton
"I really love these jeans. I got the shorter inseam (27”) and one size larger than my last pair as I like more room around my waist than the average person and going up to a 31” from a 30” was a good choice for me. I like that these are fairly straight leg and have good stretch, I also liked the lighter black color."
Great for curves
"I’m so happy with the fit of these jeans! Previously only Madewell curvy styles have fit me well but now I’m so excited to try more Everlane styles. The waist is snug with no gapping but they still skim nicely over my hips. They have a slightly tapered leg which I wish was a little less tight on the calf, and I wouldn’t mind an extra half inch in length (26. 5” inseam) but otherwise I love these. I’m 5’ 4”, around 140lb with a 27” waist and 38” hips. I got these in a size 26 which is also my usual Madewell size."
LOVELY SOFT JEANS. NOT QUITE
"LOVELY SOFT JEANS. NOT QUITE MY SHAPE BUT WILL INVESTIGATE OTHER STYLES IN FUTURE"
Not a good fit.
"The fit was terrible. Way too small in waist, (like 6") but too large in lower hip, thigh and crotch area. Quality of denim was excellent and it's a shame they don't work out for me."
Terrible Fit
"Jeans were 6" to small in waist and too big in hip and crotch area. Weird fit. Very disappointing and I can't return because of final sale. I bought two sizes and both sizes were way off."
Fit like a glove!
"I have very small waist and huge hips. And these are perfect! Seems like this brand runs a bit small so I always size up."
