Mesomorph here - I find that Boggi jeans work extremely well for me. They have a bit of spandex in them, and a straight cut, plus a wide range of colors
I’ve always had large thighs (cycling) and found that I needed to go up about 2-3 inches in the waist to get jeans to fit. If anyone else has a build like this I highly recommend madewell in the athletic cut (which basically means wide cut)
I perfer Levi and Wrangler. I just got some wrangler retros so we'll see how they last. Slim straight fit is what i wear but i perfer the western fit ones. Im not a boot cut guy but i wear boots so these wrangler still fit over ariat cowboy boots with ease.
Jeans production isn't sustainable and eco-friendly. According to various sources, dyeing denim takes like 3000-4000 liters of water for just one pair of jeans. Better invest in quality than fast fashion or overpriced, trendy brand names. Or buy second-hand.
Bro if you’re on this channel you should know that cheap clothes are unsustainable and short-lived. It’s literally just a thing we consider when buying clothes, we want to be able to buy more and nicer stuff later. Get a grip on reality.
Stay within your economics don’t go crazy with the credit card there are lots of better quality vintage brands available. Thrifted and vintage is probably the most eco friendly option. That said I would definitely go with the cheapest option for outdoor work or nature hiking.
There's so much more to say on this topic. Please address the various "cuts" and styling, I'm really into "Boot Cut" jeans at the moment and choose a classic dark colour to match my leather boots and tight fitting long sleeve jumper - it's a great look for me.
I am looking for jeans like the Levis 501 used to be years ago. thicker material but non the less clean look. Today the material is much thinner. Any ideas?
Jeans in the wardrobe is a must for most casual and also hard working people fascinating video as always! Saving up for Chinos but for now Jeans are doable.
9:20 I'd love to see some comparison or examples on what you get the more you pay. I'm asking as sometimes when I compare items of varying price points I can't see any differences what so ever. E.G. I compared two different pair of socks once and after comparing how they looked, what they were made of etc. the only differences I could see was the packaging and the price (one pair was about 2-3x more than the other).
At 6'2 and 148 lbs yet also having a muscular body, I recently realized my whole life I've been wearing jeans that are WAY too loose. Relaxed fit size 32 when I have a waist of 30 and rather trim legs. I've only last week upgraded my chinos to slim fit size 30 and the difference they make in my frame is absolutely astounding. While jeans will be a bit more tricky (given the rough fabric I don't want it too restrictive!), I'm hopeful I can find them from a retailer who does slim men's jeans well. Thanks for showing me what I always suspected but never did anything about!
Meine Oberschenkel sind sehr muskulös wen ich eine hose finde in due meine Oberschenkel passen ist sie an meiner Hüfte viel zu locker und wenn ich einen Gürtel benutzt entstehen falten welche nicht gerade gut aussehen was soll ich tun ich bitte um Hilfe
Dark blue Levi 501 or if your a little bit plump Levi 512 can not be beaten and will make most men very happy, if they want Jean's. Levi 527 are great if you want a slight boot cut. I have been wearing these all my life. I think I know what I am talking about. Lee Jean's can be good too
I've just noticed on the levis website they do a odd numbered waists as well. I've never been to a sore that stocks them. I just buy mine at a supermarket now.
Do you have a video on "rise"? I have a big waist and skinny hips. If I buy to fit my waist, the pants will undoubtedly fall to my hips and be very loose. Deciding what to buy is always a tossup!
Suspenders were invented for your body type! You can work them into your wardrobe and they can be easily hidden by layering jackets and sweaters over them.
@@ajm935 I have this body type and find that braces are the only solution. Agree with Neil that clip ons very easily lose their grip. I really must get round to sewing on some buttons! I frequently wear a waistcoat to cover them. I will be travelling to India next year and will get a tailor to make me some high rise jeans without the belt loops.
Stephen Pruszenski it was there but went right after the Ectomorphs and was incredibly short . As a classic muscular endomorph it’s always the same answer classic and relaxed fits 🤔🤔😖😖. Unfortunately it’s the era of the skinny soy boy and there is not many clothing options for us .
LL Bean jeans are on the low end and made well with a good amount of fit choices, they are the only jeans I buy now thought others may want to give them a try
Hey Chaps- could you look at clothing made by Lancashire Pike? They make old-school Ventile clothing, and have one piece in particular that's based on a piece worn by Kirk Douglas in The Heroes of Telemark- it'd be great to hear your take. Wonderful information as always, and have a very happy New Year!
I stopped wearing jeans and now wear mostly chinos, for me they are the perfect mix between casual and business attire. Nonetheless I enjoyed the video !
I get my jeans from a local chain that's very similar to GAP but cheaper (since they're unbranded). they last me for 3 years at most, and after 3 years they just give in and rip right at the middle seam (happened to me at work 4 months ago, very embarrassing XD). I think that's a pretty good life spam, given the price and the fact that I wear the same pair of pants for 5 days straight before tossing them into the dirty pile (unless they get stained before 5 days have passed), and I work at a semi-physical job that requires frequent heavy lifting (I use my legs as a leverage when lifting heavy and light stuff. never use your back for heavy lifting, it will dedstroy it).
I hate being short but also super slight. I struggle to gain weight other than managing a little Buddha belly if I decide I’m going to pig out for a week. Body type fitting tends to fall into these 3 categories and rarely considers bodies that are not typical of one of these, despite most people being a mix.
Believe it or not American Eagle us some really good jeans. I need 28-28 jeans and they are one of the few who make them at that size. Plus they have that stretch added to them so I love them it’s like wearing sweatpants
If you actually wear jeans for work Baggy jeans with shagged ( cut off hems) are preferred for safety. IE a timber faller clear cutting an old growth redwood stand 2000 years old may get caught in slash. The unhemmed jeans will rip instead of causing a fall. Conversely, western riders aka cowboys, punchers and buckaroos (Texas, Arizona and the high plains respectively) wear tight jeans to prevent chafing from the saddle.
Can you guys review Make Your Own Jeans products in a video? They make jeans, shirts, sport jackets, and other items. They are only $70 for 3% lycra jeans. I used to buy Express jeans for $50. I now purchase my jeans at Make Your Own Jeans, because I am extremely thin and even the Express skinny jeans look proportionally large on me. You just need to account for the stretch when you give your measurements, and it could take a few tries. My only complaint is the stitching is uneven in areas.
My husband is on the shorter side - 5'6" - and is slim. He has the hardest time purchasing jeans that fit his waist as well as being the correct length. He's found a brand that meets his needs after searching around - even online it's hard to find a good fit for him. That being said, he's found that even though the jeans will have the same tag, size, style and lot number on them, not all will fit properly! He has to try on each pair to make sure that they fit. That should be a caveat to anyone buying a number of jeans at one time. Try every pair on!!
This is a fashion video, so whatever, but for all, you men out there, these body type categories do not exist from a fitness/training/science perspective. They have been totally discredited in that area.
Enjoy the video but I think jeans have a shelf life (no pun intended). I’m almost 38 and am overweight can’t see a guy shaped like me in they’re 40s to 50s wearing jeans but I could be wrong, and after seeing this video tempted you try out my jeans from years ago.
Very informative video. You should try pajama jeans. I've been wearing them for years and no one has said a word! I wear them to school, to the office, church, parties, church parties, graduations, dinners, fund raisers, amusement parks, funerals. No one ever said a thing. Eventually I started wearing sweatpants, but I got a few dirty looks, and yoga pants are too controversial. Great vid, I'll have to give denim another try.
Great video. I highly recommend Wrangler jeans, you can get them for $20 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone look bad in a pair. The problem with Levi’s I’ve noticed is that they tend to bunch around the crotch. Also I would say you can forget all the mid and high tier brands that were mentioned. If you want raw selvedge denim, get some RRL. Joes Jeans, AG, Hudson, etc are inferior quality. APC is alright but uncomfortably tight in the calves for me. Also, big note, and I cannot emphasize this enough; cuffing your jeans makes your legs appear shorter. Please stop cuffing your jeans. I beg you.
That gin and tonic reference tho 🤣
Nice video, as usual.
I cracked up too😅😅
I laughed
I laughed waaay too hard
Snuck in that Gin and tonic reference! Haha. Loved seeing all 3 of you guys walking together.
Uniqlo slim stretch selvage. Great jeans for $50 (or less on sale).
Kyles knowledge from so many years of mens wear retail is a great benefit to the channel! Iearn so much from his videos.
i love this channel, every info they give is amazing
I really like & appreciate the history and word origins of these garments, thank you gents!!
Yes! That is a real plus!
Me too and why people wore them.
Thank you for informative content. Happy New year! All the best to both the hosts and viewers of Gentleman's Gazzete.

How long before they rip in the crotch
Nice presentation. Ralph Lauren RRL Jeans are my favorite.
Killing it it with the camouflage loafers.

This man just called $100-200 mid range price. I can’t imagine spending that much on casual trousers
I wouldn't mind paying that much for them if I knew that I would be wearing them quite frequently.
try it, it will change your life

Customers who bought these jeans also bought gin and tonic.
Can you do a video on Tommy Hilfiger, Brooks Brothers, Abercrombie and Fitch and united colors of Benetton
Will Armstrong especially Abercrombie and Fitch, and Tommy Hilfiger
Every so often I see the notifications and rush to the video... Not disappointed at all!
I am looking for jeans like the Levis 501 used to be years ago. thicker material but non the less clean look. Today the material is much thinner. Any ideas?
Bravestar selvedge, I have four pair love them
I think Uniqlo is one of good options in the lower price range.
Jeans in the wardrobe is a must for most casual and also hard working people fascinating video as always! Saving up for Chinos but for now Jeans are doable.
For your chinos, you might want to take a look at Old Navy they have some really nice ones and they're not a lot of money
I got a pair of Levi 501's for Christmas and got myself a nice casual black belt. Feels like I'm wearing blankets on my legs.
I like the new gent here. I think he mixes classic and modern style well.
Great video!!

They are Salvatore Ferrargamo by the looks of them.
Never mind, I believe they are Gucci.

what are those brown boots at 2:55?

Thank you for the body type information, very nice. Great video Kyle
Stretch Denim works for me with a tapered leg and prefer a dark wash because they look smarter.

Why no Jacob Cohen?
Preston where can we hear you sing id love to check out some of your live performances
Did I miss something or were endomorphic fits not addressed?

Is it possible to alter a quilted jacket? A bit random but I really need to know.
Anything is possible but it would look bad, unless you just want to shorten the sleeve

I'm from Australia I found a Brand call 1970 Stretch Jeans and they so comfortable to wear.
Great video! I can see Kyle is getting better and better in his presentation!
He’s the token Black of the bunch he’s got zero presentation skills, and quite frankly he’s there for one reason to box tick
What style of jacket is Raphael wearing at 9:38? I like it.
LTH Thanks!!
Happy New Year!
I stopped wearing jeans and now wear mostly chinos, for me they are the perfect mix between casual and business attire. Nonetheless I enjoyed the video !
Fabian Weber Same!
Yep, same
Great job !
Can somebody give me advice on the Italian made jeans brand Sartoria Tramarossa, are they good and worth the price?
Thank you.

Body type fitting tends to fall into these 3 categories and rarely considers bodies that are not typical of one of these, despite most people being a mix.
Mid rise with a tapered leg fits me best
Kyle is such a great addition to the team.
Sorry i totally disagree
As usual really informative! Thanks

garmtpug So what’s the name of the brand?
@@eyeheartsushi2212 It is Lee - Regular Fit. They don't carry them in most stores, so he had to special order them from the store. The waist is 29".
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😀
Top vid Kyle & GG 👍
Diesel pants from the 2000s are the greatest
Conke Diesel is a great quality brand for jeans
Since when are Diesel Jeans better and more expensive than Levi's?
Love it!
The theme of Japanese denim is not disclosed at all. "Big John", "Iron Heart", "Samurai Jeans" and many many others...
Дмитрий Голосов Yes, the best denim/jeans today for the most part are being made in Japan.
Thanks
They failed to mention waist height. Off the rack is impossibly low
Yes! Exactly
It's called "rise"--the distance between the crotch to the top of the jean waistband.
@@hornetbrown i know they should discuss high rise jeans
Wrangler 13mwz classic western styling, 20.00-30.00
How about ironing jeans?
3:30 the actual start of Jeans fit..
Very involved and was caught with a left hook with the gin and tonic lol, great video.

I love that brown leather jacket Sven is sporting. Feel free to post it to me in the UK should you so desire 😉😁
Looks like a Belstaff trialmaster
Gentleman's Gazette should do a let's play.
Probably the only video in GG where camouflage pattern is presented.
EXCEPT, if the guys want to do a little fun with cargo trousers.
I really like your jacket.
Thx alot
Wranglers $50 and up? I guess in blue states. But in NC you can get wranglers for at least half that at Wally World.
The only Guy in this channel who wears right fitted clothes :D
He uses modern style while others use the 1930s style
