Mercer Lexie A Pockets

Does anyone know how these run? I tried a search but found nothing. I must have missed a blowout on them, there are a billion pairs on ebay and I'm not sure what size I'd need...

Once the Lexie cut became available, I began wearing them exclusively. They are a true petite cut, not just a short regular. The rise is shorter, the break at the knee really breaks at the knee and not at the calf. If you have the proportions of a petite, then you will be happy with the fit. If you're not a petite, then you will find that the rise is too short, etc. They do run true to size, so a 28 Lexie is a 28 petite, it is not the same as a 29 Regular.

Hope I made some sense!

^She's specifically inquiring as to how the Mercer wash in the Lexie A-Pocket cut fits, not how Lexies fit generally.

They run true to (petite) size.

thanks, I am familiar with the general fit of Lexies, like zephyr said I am just looking for fit info for this particular pair (Mercer A Pockets). if you have tried more than a few pairs of 7FAM jeans, you'll know the sizing can vary greatly for different washes/cuts/production batches!

sooooo...does anyone know?

Can't tell you from direct experience....

BUT the pair of 31s i'm selling are 18" aligned with an 8" rise and the denim is super soft since it's Light Mercer instead of the standard Mercer. Maybe .5-1 size big

I want to say tts. I had a pair of 28s once and iirc, they were too big.

I have two pairs of Lexie A pockets, both in the Mercer wash, and several other pairs of Bootcut, A-pockets, and Roxannes (regulars, not petite). My advice would be to order the Lexie A-pocket in your regular size.
