The Most Comfortable Jeans I've Ever Owned

- Опубликовано: 24 янв 2018
- I've got to admit that I'm a bit of a denim snob. Its easy to get swept up in the ultra premium artisanal brands using denim loomed on the top of a mountain by a 300 year old monk. Still, when it comes to just pulling on a pair of comfy denim that isn't some cheap mall brand there isn't much to choose from besides the old Levis standby. For guys looking to break into the premium denim thing with limited means Blue Rise Denim is a great start. At $79 out the door they are actually more affordable than most when tax and shipping is included. Don't let that price fool you, we're still talking about beautiful details like ultra soft pocket bags, custom rivets, YKK zippers, and a real leather patch (not that cardboard junk). I think they're a wonderful value.
-UPDATE-- Blue Rise is no longer in business, but these jeans are even better: bit.ly/3X0dZrQ

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

UPDATE: Blue Rise Denim has been sold off by their parent company. I don’t know if they’ll be back or not, but it’s really a shame. So you may ask why I keep this video live. The reason is that I enjoyed making it and I hope you enjoy watching it, even if the brand no longer exists.
I went to their website, and was kind of hoping this wasn't going to be the case :-/ Do you have a similar brand you could suggest, one with all of the same qualities this company had (Made in USA, high quality/great price, etc.)?
Andrew G Gustin does crowd sourced runs of selvedge jeans. This one is currently running at a really good price. They have three fits as well.

I just found this video... It's the Satchel and Page leather jacket all over again...
@@andrewg944 Everlane might a good option!
Damn any update
I love these people. They have a clear vision, reasonable ambitions (not "I want to flip the jean game upside down"), are very particular, and they just seem like real real people.
Definitely, they're down to earth and real. I still grab these when I just want to be comfortable and not worry about the rigid denim that dominates my wardrobe.
2 years late on this video and went and looked but they were sold out. I will have to wait. Thanks Carl for your work. I bought a Carhartt jacket because of you and love it. Thanks again for your quality videos and content!
The Levi Workwear fit stretch denim is heavy, stretchy and fits very very well. Definitely recommend checking them out! Best blue jeans I’ve owned in this range
I love my Lee 101 Luke tapered Jeans.
I love the stretch, the comfort, the looks, & they are the only pants that I don't need to get altered. The inseams are just right. ❤️
What!!! West Hartford? Under $100? You made this video for me right?!?!? I definitely have to check it out for my best fitting jeans series!
Just for you man!!! I totally thought "Ian would like these" when I was there, no lie.
Thank you Carl for some new product with the same clarity.Interesting & I wonder when & how I can lay my hands on one of these new jeans in India.
Just found your channel, loving your approach to videos. Just recently jumped in to raw/selvedge denim, and while I _LOVE_ my 19oz Momotaros that are made from steel and cardboard, I also have a pair of Naked and Famous 2% stretch that blow my mind with their comfort. They feel and look just like a 12.5oz denim, but when you're wearing them and reach that point where the pants would normally bind up - there's just a little more room to move past that. That said, they are mid-rise so they aren't quite as comfortable in the waist (my body shape doesn't let them ride down onto my hips, so they end up floating awkwardly somewhere between my hip bones and my actual waist...).
Blue Rise is definitely less 'hardcore' than the Japanese craft jeans I lust for but... I personally have some issues with Naked and Famous as a company and appreciate there's someone else out there making a budget line of quality denim.
Nicely produced video, I enjoyed your info and the quality of your video
I remember I bought two pairs of really nice jeans, paid in the hundreds and I was terribly dissapointed to the point I didn't wear any kind of jeans in over a year, they weren't practical and they didn't take their trips to the washing machine very well. Inexpensive jeans with stretch are the best in my opinion because they give you great mobility and you don't care so much about damaging them and the stetch actually makes them more durable to the average guy.
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Even if you do have your pair of coveted jeans, it’s nice to have a pair that just works. No fuss, no worrying, they just look good and feel comfortable.
You didn't pick the right brand of jeans. The jeans you we're looking for are out there, you just have to get what brand best suits you and fits you the best. I had to find that out for myself.
@@fredbrooks7529 got any tips for finding that? I'm having a hard enough time figuring out which fit would work with my fat thighs and legs. :(
@@jawnsushi maybe Levi's 541
I feel the same way about Paige and Frame denim. AG Denim is awesome though.
I just recently found LAPG jeans that have stretch to them. I'll never go back to regular denim again. The stretch material is so soft and it's still pretty rugged. Best part is that they are like $30 a pair... you really can't beat it!
Hey there! I was recommended by Antonio of the epic "RMRS" channel. I liked your stuff a lot & subscribed right away. Yes, I love the stretch in my jeans..And when you say, ".. you loved the soft pockets every time you put hands in.." I started feeling the comfort. I'd love to have access to Blue Rise & own their product...
Hey there and welcome! The stretch is a game changer, I’m a total convert. Thanks for the sub my friend!
Love this behind the scenes type of video!
IMO its all a balance. i think every guy should know when each style is appropriate. For me, most of the time i want to feel the tough and heavy substance that comes with 100% cotton selvedge denim and love that it builds character as you wear. But there are times where i need a comfortable stretch jean that is more refined in color and appearance and so i think there is a market for that. I just hope this brand can compete with the 7FAM/Joe's/Hudson jeans that are commonly found in the fashion retailers. I think they can compete in the online only/ transparent pricing new world that is emerging!
Very well said! That's exactly where these fit in for me too, a nice comfortable alternative. I also appreciate that they're trying to make it as easy as possible to get a pair by factoring in the tax and shipping, that kind of good will goes a long way. Keep crushing it on IG my man!
Always wore Levi's. Love them jeans, I'd have to try this ones
Woah, my older Levi’s have served me well. I get what you’re saying though, I’ve had the newer stretchy shit before.
Carl: That middle section is severely under served.
Me: Story of my goddamn life. Name something this doesn't apply to. I'll wait.
Once I discovered 2% stretch, I'll never go back!
Right?? So comfortable!
Hey Carl! I'm looking through your videos now, and really love the content you provide. High high quality!! Do you have any brands on good Raw Selvedge Denim Jeans to recommend? In particular Raw Selvedge Skinny Jeans, which is somewhat hard to find.
Well for the money I think Bravestar is one of the best around. I also know that Gustin and Naked & Famous offer some great skinny fits.
I actually got a pair of raw selvedge denim from Scotch and soda that has elastine in it. Very comfy and stretchy but also has some creasing.
That’s a brand I need to check out! You know how it is though, I’d go broke trying every brand I’m interested in!
Bought two stretch jeans from Uniqlo. Absolutely now my most comfortable jeans. And if you are not into stretch they have also some fantastic selvedge jeans. Kicked myself for not buying earlier from Uniqlo. Never looked back.
I bought some $30 jeans by Goodfellow & co at Target. It’s faded black, stretchy, and here’s the best part... The back of the fabric has been brushed into a soft fluffy surface. I never wanted to wear tighter pants. But this was only available in a skinnier, tapering fit. I usually only wear relaxed or straight. But the pants interior finish was just too seductive, and it really fit like a glove in a super comfy way. They call this material “winter denim”. I got it just in time for the first snow.
@Armando Sturzenegger I have a "regular taper" from Brave Star Selvedge. It fits good, but I had to go one size up. So it's almost a perfect fit everywhere, but the waistband is a bit loose.
Excellent video. Thanks. Just bought a pair to see if I like these jeans.
Thank you for watching! Please let me know what you think or any other products you'd like to see a video on.
Hi Rick,
Once you receive your jeans feel free to send us a photo of you wearing them...Our Facebook is Blue Rise Denim and our Instagram is bluerisedenim :)

Man, I 'd love to try these one day. I'm just very picky with jeans. I HAVE to try them on before I buy.
I totally understand. I'm not sure what their return policy is, but if it's decent you may want to roll the dice.
Thanks, have to check them out.
I look forward to trying a pair!
The stretch spoiled me!
I love Denizen....super comfortable, decent quality and an amazing price of under $30 as of 12/18/18 at the local Target......
Love them as well looking to get several more pairs
Denizen jeans are so good!
These look incredible. I need a pair
Yes you do!
For raw denim I love APC. I have two pairs of their new standard and one pair of their limited edition Hiver 87 standard raw denim (big legs). For stretch / out of the box comfort I love Paige jeans. Federal slim fit is my favorite cut from them.
Both brands are $180-$240
I've heard very good things about APC but Paige is new to me. There are so many micro brands out there now its hard to keep up!
My 550s are as soft as my sweat pants and my 569s that are stretchy feel like sand paper. Although new they felt good new I prefer the non stretch.
I might have to try a pair. I've been getting American Eagle flex jeans and they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever had. Just not a fan of many of their washes.
I have these on right now and they’ve been great, they really hold up well and when I just don’t feel like dealing with stiff denim they’re my go-to.
Did you get these jeans? I’ve been wearing AE Flex jeans for like 5 years and love them. Looking to see if other comfortable stuff is out there
I just found a pair of Agave jeans at goowill and I looked them up and they were like $200. They’re nice and stretchy too!
West Hartford doesn’t get many RUclips shoutouts and the Farmington Starbucks is underrated so this gets a like and a sub!
I got a pair of stretchy jeans at Marshall's for like $15 and even though they're becoming threadbare in the crotch area, I still wear them often because of the comfort they bring. I'm very interested to give Blue Rise a try and see what it's like to get the stretch and comfort but also have a quality denim that will actually last. I trust your judgment, and I'm gonna have to give these a try, they might become an instant favorite based on how you're gushing
Yeah, I got a little fanboy but that kinda shows how much I like these. For example, this weekend I'm heading into the studio to record drums for an album. The sessions are about 12 hours each with almost nonstop playing, so you know what jeans I'll be wearing! The comfort is just outstanding.
J Crew jeans made with Japanese Kaiharu denim is an excellent choice, love mine
I don’t like anything but the jeans with some stretch. That being said there are some that are build better than others. Some men’s jeans seem more like jeggings than jeans. I don’t dabble in that territory . I personally like the American eagle stretch but they are so inconsistent in their fit. Buy 5 pair and they all fit a little different . I’m hoping to find a brand to take their place. I’m still experimenting , gonna try the Levi’s 541 stretch and go on from there till I find my stable brand. Any other suggestions. I’m the under $100 range?
I were a size 36 but in jeans levis original i have to were 38 but they always look a little baggy going to try this brand
So they have slim stretch boot cut? I’ve been looking for that for awhile. I want slim jeans because I’m a slim guy that stretch and I can fit over a cowboy boot.
So is there an alternative brand that is similar and available?
I was ready to order some jeans but was too late.
Brave Star $98-$128 selvedge handmade in LA from Cone Mills and Japanese denim. Jeans, jackets, leather belts, etc. Good place to start for people who don't want to drop $200+
your videos are top notch. either way, I watch them all.
Thank you so much!!!
Agreed. Quality content.
Its was hard to accept stretch because I thought they were only available in lightweight denim, but after the first pair in heavy denim it was great and I even sleep in them...
Oh man, you sleep in your denim?? Now thats a testament to comfort!!!
Hey bro I really like AG “the graduate” jeans for non raw non selvedge denim. Fits so good and has 2% stretch
AG jeans are fantastic. You can get selvedge, stretch, great fits and great styles.
I just got these in the mail today, damn they are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. If you buy a pair of the extreme stretch if your current waist size is even a little loose I would size down 1 inch. But damn they feel good.
Excellent to hear!!! How about those pocket bags!?
New England Style Consulting
Yeah, the pockets are really soft remind me a bit of the bonobos selvedge denim jeans. However, bluerise pockets are even softer almost like moleskin pockets.
That's my favorite part, then again it doesn't take much to make me happy.
We're so happy that they are your most comfortable jeans! Feel free to send us a photo of you wearing the jeans...Our Facebook is Blue Rise Denim and our Instagram is bluerisedenim :)
Carl, I have wanted to check out these jeans since seeing your review a couple of weeks ago but the link taking me there says that it is an unsafe site and won't let me shop. Do you know why this might be?
Yes, unfortunately this company went out of business. I ended up getting confirmation from one of the girls I interviewed in this video, it’s really a shame.
American Eagle jeans are my favorite. The NE(X)T LEVEL FLEX jeans are the only ones i will wear.
"Woven by a monk" hahahahahaha
I bought DSTLD, they were ok I guess. I heard Mott and Bow is really good too
With the work I do I have to have pure denim all of my other jeans ripped and are in the trash now I usually wear carhartt jeans or Levi 501
I see the website is down. Hope this company is still around. My husband wanted to try them out.
Uniqlo is the best bang for the buck. They are selvage stretch for $50. But I got N&F those are pretty comfy for non stetch just gotta man up and treat them like a pair of boots lol.
Is this company still operating? Can't find them
I work all day in the office in a physical therapy clinic. Squating and totting my cell phone and wallet in my front pocket.
American Eagle AE
Or
Jose Bank
Bith stretch but have issues.
AE zipper break.
Jose Bank rear pockets rip out.
I like stretch jeans. The problem I have with hard Jeans is they stretch out by the end of the day and look slouchy. I need an office rugged pair of jeans.
Could you by chance do a review on the boots you are wearing in the thumbnail for this video?
The LL Bean Boots? Sure!
I really love your videos man. You know what you're talking of. Grabbing a good scotch and watching your vids to come down after a hard week 👍🏻
Thank you my friend!
I love American Eagle stretch jeans. They're amazing
Stretch jeans aren’t jeans they are jeggings,
Blue rise still in business? The link here gives an error message.
They look pretty good, Levi 511 are super comfy look great and last for years although here in the UK we pay a premium over what you guys pay in the USA,
Really? What is your go-to for denim in the UK? Is it more of a US/Japan thing?
New England Style Consulting, mainly USA,, Levis, Lee, and the better styled Wrangler,
I'm really interested in the take on USA made goods in the UK. I like US made because I'm a citizen here but are they as popular across the pond?
USA products are received well here generally, the problem with denim is every store has its own comprehensive collection of it!, The price range goes from £15 upwards, back in the 60s-70s USA made jeans were the only one's worth buying, I think that's why I still buy Levis ect, first pair was in 1969, now 61 and have at least 12 pairs!! Mainly Levi 511, trouble is China now produce everything.
You're right, its hard for companies to resist the cheap labor costs. I'm willing to bet some of your old 60s-70s era denim would be worth something today!
My jeans are 4 way stretch they are awesomely comfy.
I just checked their website recently and it’s not running anymore, is the company still in operation?
Unfortunately they went under!
I have a set of wrangles and they last I work with chemicals. And going up and down stairs. There is even times where I jump on a forklift and run around.
Nice! Wranglers are very common on my jobsite too
Wranglers bootcut with stretch changed my life...but hey, I don't want to oversell it :-D
I never would have bought Wranglers or stretch jeans and definitely not wranglers that stretch but I was in Target last year and came across some wranglers in my size for like 4.80 on clearance. I figured for that price I’ll grab the 2 pair they had in my size and wear them to work. They’ve held up really well actually and they pretty much feel like a normal denim to the touch but damn are they comfortable. I was wearing Duluth or carhart pants to work and neither looked very good so I’m happy to go back to jeans.
I also just got some Levi’s that said they are stretch raw denim. They definitely stretch less than the wranglers, it’s just a smidge of a stretch really, I don’t think I’d even know they were stretch if it wasn’t on the tag.
Keep getting an error message that says their checkout system is disabled when I try to check out. Guess I won't be trying a pair.
I’ve heard that from more than one person, i don’t know what’s happening over there.
I want a heavier denim, I'm not interested in the fade and creases that would normally take me 4-5 years; occurring within the first year.
It seems the denim fanatics want those creases and fade as soon as possible. I'm willing to drop up to $150. I want a dark indigo and I want at least a good year before signs of that wear shows. Like a shoe polishing instructional; how about a guide to keeping color on clothes?
Second almost all the raw and selvedge I have looked into; is cut for anemic little girls. I'm 6'3" and 190. I just want a regular cut.
You are totally correct, the trend is toward rope dyeing where very little indigo actually permeates the yarn yielding those fades everyone is so crazy about. Still, there are plenty of people like you who want their jeans to look new and crisp for a long time! You'll definitely want a jean that uses vat-dyed yarn, this allows the indigo to soak in even more and is much more permanent.
I also feel your pain with the skinny/slim fit of todays jeans. The problem with this trend is that it only looks good on a small percentage of the population, and definitely not me. I almost always go with a straight cut, not only does it fit over a boot but it keeps the line of my silhouette looking correct and not like a candy apple.
I'd suggest checking out some more traditionally made denim for starters like Pointers Brand or even Roundhouse. These guys are workwear through and through with very little to make them "fancy pants". Furthermore they are a more traditional cut and under $100 almost across the board. You'll just have to make sure you like the wash.
As an example. This guy just look like his Unbranded 21oz are giving him a colon exam.
www.styleforum.net/threads/the-unbranded-brand-jeans.150423/page-107
I wonder if a proctology fee is included in the price!
You should definitely check out Brave Star Selvedge brand. They got the 16oz Whtie Oak denim true straight lineup for about $89, and it has been my favorite ever since. Once broken down it literally takes your shape.
It's too bad that Levi's discontinued the Hunter's Moon Stretch Denim. Unbelievably comfortable and durable, and they go with anything. They were exactly what you'd be looking for. I've been wearing 2 pairs of them for 3 years along with some corduroys. 2 pairs! A 505 and a 502 that's a little longer for riding boots. I haven't found anything close in quality since.
What wash and fit did u go with. I like the look u had in the video. Keep up the great work
Thank you for the kind words! I ended up going with the Wyatt wash in a straight fit. For guys like me (5' 9" 200lbs) it looks best I think.
New England Style Consulting What level of stretch did you get? I have noticed in the past that one pair of my wife's extremely stretchy jeans can't be put in the dryer to dry because they smell terrible afterwards. Do you notice any smell from the fabric?
Did these folks go out of Buisness? I can’t find them anywhere
Carl, you need to try Filsons Rail-splitter jeans.
Review on the way my man!!!
Are they better then the origin ?
I myself have never owned a pair, but I have heard a lot of good stuff about the Prison Blues Jeans. Made in Oregon Correctional Facility, and are raw denim, and atleast so I have heard, virtually indestructible. Also, a classic straight cut.
Lol... same company?
I pay 25US$ for nearly new Levi's 501. They aren't great, but I can't find anything that can compeed with that price. I wear the old ones in summer untill the knees are out.
does blue rise denim have selvedge denim? bad that the dont have almoste any 100% cotton!
They don’t, and unfortunately I think they may have gone under. Their social media has stopped and I haven’t seen any press releases in a few months.
Wrangler cowboy cut best jeans ever hard wearing cool looking heavy demin
If only they were made in America....
Try round house made in USA 🇺🇸
@@zedzeppelin : Well, the traditional 936 or 13 MWZ Wrangler ® jeans are mostly made in México, which technically is in America, so there you go.
Wrangler sucks
@@clydebrusca9294 : " Live It To The Limit" brother. If you think that all Wrangler ® offers is available on its U.S website, you are sadly mistaken. There are lines and styles that aren't available in the U.S that are sold on their European and Australian websites. ¡ Levi's Polos suck! If you would check out the Wrangler ® UK website for instance, you'd see that Wrangler ® makes some of the best mod looking polos out there only second to Fred Perry.
Can you do a review of round house slim fit jeans.
I actually just put in an order for some of their overalls, so that will be a good introduction to the brand. If they're good then I'll definitely get more.
You want more confort? Try Terlenka. Or polyester. Or...
You should checkout Imogene + Willie...they’re a Nashville based denim brand...
I certainly will! Thanks for the tip!
Where Is The Website???
Or Is Blue Rise Only Available At Their Place...
I know, it’s weird that it doesn’t come up in a google search... anyhow: bluerisedenim.com/
Can anyone recommend a jean brand for me? I have a very hard time finding a pair that actually fits. I’m 6’3” 215 with big thighs and a small waist. Thanks
Carlos Hernandez if you haven't yet try looking into the brand Mavi. They have a good variety of fits and are great quality
I love Levi's. Is there anything wrong with them?
agree! 541 does it for me
@Dylan Meza Although the quality might've lowered, it is still on point.
One thing you can try is get in the pinterest boards and you’ll get fairly popular
edit 3 months later
where is the dam site, idk about you but are they dead? i just cant find the jeans site heh
Pinterest is one thing I've never tried. To be honest it's confusing whenever I attempt to do anything with it.
Same, but I just use it to look up pics and style help
What would be the best deal on heavy weight denim jeans. Or even duck as a second
Heavyweight denim is usually expensive because of the heavy duty needles and threads they use to make them. I like the Naked and Famous Elephant series, or Railcar Fine Goods, but for a good deal you can't beat the Bravestar heavyweight denim.
I must be one unstylish bastard, I love tapered leg Levi's and rustler deep indigo jeans but then again I work 300+ days/yr and fashion is not a priority.
Joe’s jeans are also wicked comfy
I bought a pair of mens Blue Mountain Jeans at Tractor Supply. They fit nice, but the dainty girly zipper Sucks.
Is there a similar company?
Sir, how about international Shipping (Germany) ?
I asked this question and they're only shipping domestically right now, though they're looking to include international shipping in the future. If you see something you really like I'll calculate the shipping and send it to you, I don't want my viewers to be without jeans they love!
Has anyone bought jeans from barbell company? Want to try them out but just not sure
I WISHD ID HAD DENIM AND OVERALLS
Thank you for the great info. I was excited about these. Since I have contacted them three times without a response, tried to order but the site is not working. If a small business wishes to succeed, customer service should be paramount. As there is no phone number listed for them, I have been unable to reach anyone. You may wish to pass along this info
It appears they've gone out of business sadly, I received similar information from would-be customers. I'm not sure if the tax thing put them under, or maybe poor management, but unfortunately the signs point to no more Blue Rise.
@@CarlMurawski that's a real shame
It really is, but I suppose it happens to a lot of startups. I've really taken to Brave Star jeans, they're a pretty amazing value if you're in the market. No stretch options at the moment however.
@@CarlMurawski thanks, keep up the great videos
I'll do my best!
Detroit Denim WAS a good idea
What about Unbranded? Wouldn't that be a good place to dip your toe into higher quality jeans?
I recently found Kato in Toronto and bought a pr on sale. Got the "Pen" in 11oz. 4 way stretch and oh so comfortable. Raw, been there done that, not practical nor IMHO not worth it. Check them out, made in LA the old fashion way.
I definitely will! It's funny how there is a diehard group of raw denim enthusiasts even though the break-in process is really just a means to get the jeans to be as comfortable as stretch is out of the box! I think the one exception is that I've yet to see any stretch in a really heavy denim, and for those who prefer their jeans to be like armor they're only left with raw.
BTW Kato does have a 14oz 4way as well. I went with the 11oz just because it was "that" comfortable and my sizing fit me TTS right out of the gate. I tried the 14oz on and was not doing it for me. Perhaps die hards might be swayed by that option. Definitely stiffer but there is that wonderful give. Maybe without my winter weight it could be an option to go heavier LOL
She got uncomfortable when he said guys are very loyal at 5:55 lol
What do you guys think? Do you dig stretch in your jeans? What do you think of Blue Rise denim? Let me know in the comments below!
Not a chance, stretch denim is the equivalent to wearing pj pants in public...it’s the international “I give up” statement. Not to mention most of the stretch denim I’ve encountered smells like old tires.
Not a fan of stretch in the denim as a whole, though I wouldn't mind an inch or two of elastic on the sides of the waistband.
Just bought a pair of the extreme stretch harley wash in straights fit. Delivery was fast, packaging and presentation is impressive, finishing is nice, color distressing is a little more contrasty than I normally buy. I like stretch denim (I'm a diehard AG Protege fan), but the extreme stretch fabric might be too much for me, as it doesn't feel "cottony" but rather more synthetic performancewear. I'd probably prefer the feel of the next level down (comfort stretch), but since fit is fairly tight in the calf (this is common for me, I have huge calves and thighs for waist size) it ended up working out.
Just sounds like cheap $20 jeans from China trying to pretend to be heritage style denim. At a time when we are living in a plastic apocalypse artificial stretch fabrics aren't something I want to be wearing. I've really enjoyed most of your videos until this one but this does not seem like a quality product to me.
not a fan of stretch but blue rise denim seams cool!
I own two pairs of Jeans. Both are Mugzy's. A blue pair and a black pair. Just remember to order a size smaller than normal because they flex a bunch. Plenty of room in the crotch. About 100 or less$$
Why not both
Im sure their great but you can sure tell the skinny and slim are built different than the 512. I own like 6 pairs of 512's and there's a reason i stick to them. I mention it because most people are starting to see the 512 fits more people just a bit better than the 511. The skinny looks like the BR skinny which in all honesty is not a skinny jean its more of a slim. Every brand has their own idea of what skinny is and for the men its sometimes more of a slim. The taper at the bottom is something you cant give up and cant unsee when you have it. marketing has kinda fucked the idea up and now its anyones game. At least they give you options Mott and bow dont even sell skinnys in 30 length for some goddamn reason is beyond me. So I spend my money else where. Great looking out for the new brands they deserve a chance. Just look at thursday boot.
Excellent points! I really like bringing the little brands to your attention and then let them speak for themselves. As far as the skinny/slim/athletic issue it can be super confusing and I've been tripped up by it more than I can tell you! Add to that the unique measurements some brands have like Tate and Yoko with their Weird Guy fit, I'm totally lost.
In terms of comparison with Levis, I've always been a 511 guy until I tried their 514 and it became my go-to. I'd say these Blue Rise jeans I have (Wyatt wash, straight fit) are very similar in fit to the 514s.
I’m watching this video while wearing my 21 oz😑.
Man, I love my rigid denim but these are a nice change of pace!
Problem with stretch jeans or tighter fit jeans they strangle my 🥜. I just can’t have that in my life.
But they are. All three pairs of mine are in a tie for most comfortable. & they're all skinny. Baldwin is alchemical.
I find Mavi jeans to be an awesome quality and style for the price point, seem to be right around the level of this brand
I got a pair from them that I loved. My favorite pair I've ever had. I got them through one of those "send me a random outfit things on Facebook. They are gone now, but a few years ago I tried to reorder a similar pair from Mavi directly. The two pairs I got were good quality, but they only sell skinny jeans for some reason. They were quality but not comfortable. I prefer the "normal dude fitting" jeans.
I WISH I could get those jeans again.
Bluerisedenim still alive?
I've never tried stretch. Kinda figured it was for chicks but those jeans don't look like girl jeans
This is my first time trying them too. The only stretch I’ve been exposed to is seeing my wife’s maternity pants, but these are super comfortable.
Bro it's a game changer, esp if ur a slightly bigger guy but like slimmer fit jeans.
