RUNS GENEROUS: WE RECOMMEND GOING DOWN A SIZE WHEN PURCHASING
These are the jeans you need right now. High-waisted with a roomy barrel leg. It took five rounds of fittings to perfect this of-the-moment silhouette. With just enough volume that tapers at the ankle, they're made from a structured (but still stretchy) denim that holds its shape. We designed these to be styled two ways—play with sizing to find your favorite fit. Choose your true size if you’re into the oversize look, and size down if you want these jeans to feel fitted through the hips.

"I love the fit on these! If you have big thighs and a large butt, these are a fantastic option for something that has enough rise to cover without being super high and roomy thighs/crotch area. I’m obsessed and own 3 pairs. They are a nice dark blue, not quite as deep a color as the indigo selvedge, maybe US will consider making these in that denim? Please?!!"
"I am obsessed with the fit of the Lou Barrel jeans. They are great for my big thighs and large high butt combo. I don’t like tight jeans but also don’t like wide leg, so these hit my sweet spot! Colorway is cute with little frayed bits and a nice wear pattern."
"These jeans are amazing. The denim is robust but soft, roomy, and stretchy enough to wear on a 6 hour flight in economy class. The pockets are wide and deep and hold a big iPhone with no problem at all. The shape of the jeans is especially good for those of us with relatively small waists compared to hips and thighs. Even in warm weather, the silhouette of the jeans is roomy enough that I don't feel too hot in them, Really good."
"I have dozens of pairs of US jeans and this barrel leg jean is now one of my favorites. I take a size US 16, am a plus size girl with thick thighs. These jeans are very generous in the thighs and are extremely comfortable. And I purchase these on sale! I would highly recommend these jeans."
"Just received my pair of these fabulous jeans! One big happy… the are great in the length! I’m 5’5 and they are perfect!! Thank you universal standard for another fabulous item for my closet!!"
"I really like how these don't hug my thighs, they skim the things and really create the barrel shape. I also like the wash."
"These jeans are hands down the most comfortable pair I own. INSTANT FAVORITE! The fabric is soft, the wash and distressing is beautiful, and the fit is outstanding! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE!"
"I love the quality of Universal Standard profucts!!"
"Great material. Comfortable fit around my hips and no gap at the waist. Fits my curves!!"
"As usual, US products are well made, and although the design doesn't seem especially "tie-dyed," I like it. However, having take a size smaller than usual at the urging of some other commenters, I could've taken two sizes smaller. I'm not sure barrel cut jeans are the best look for an only-a-little-bit-tall, curvy, plus-sized - I bought a 20 - woman. I'm keeping them, but wouldn't buy another pair. I highly recommend them if you're tall/skinny. And do size down."
