Slim fit Lightweight Japanese Selvedge Stretch Jean in White Wash

I purchased these for a spring break trip to Santa Monica from Washington, D.C. The jeans were a perfect weight for warmer weather while still retaining the slightly rough selvedge denim feel. The sublet green tint of the thread on the canvas color adds a sophisticated touch. I purchased in my normal size as per other buyers' recommendations in the review section and they fit perfectly - I would definitely ignore the recommendation to go up a size. The jeans are a true slim fit and have all the details of other Todd Snyder selvedge denim. I can also report that they are fully sanforized and suffered NO shrinkage in the waist or inseam after a cold water wash and hang dry, that is very unusual, but really appreciated with sanforized selvedge denim. If I did not already have 3 other pairs of Todd Snyder selvedge, 3 pairs of RGT selvedge, and 3 pairs of Levis 501 selvedge, I would buy another pair, especially appealing in gray.

Nice selvedge material but the slim fit isn’t right for me. I am an average 32/30 kind of a guy, but am 49 y/o with muscular thighs and glutes. Couldn’t pull these up and not to mention no space for everything else.

This review is on the Light Charcoal color. The stitching seems to be on the weaker side - the thread is thinner and looser compare to other three small batch pairs I have from the previous years (canvas, raw and riverside). Especially looking from inside. Especially noticeable on the top of the back pockets (inside), on the coin/watch pocket on the front and, actually here and there everywhere (looking from inside!). The length is also inconsistent - they are WAY longer than the same length (30") other small batch jeans. I kept these jeans as I still like the overall fit, look and material. These jeans are made in Vietnam costing $268(!!!). Well, I would expect an exceptional quality for this money .... and made in the US. ? Do I recommend these jeans? Yes, if you can lower your expectations on the quality of almost $300 jeans and don't consider this purchase as an "investment in a high quality denim" that you will be wearing for years. Still can be a nice showoff this summer.

I like the white color. And these might be some of the best fitting jeans I’ve worn. The amount of stretch is perfect. They still have the feel and look that denim should have while having a comfortable stretch.

The biggest issue with these, and I only know because my girlfriend told me, is that you can see the color and any pattern on your underwear above and between the back pockets. It is what is, you need to wear white underwear with these. It’s not a problem on the front of the jeans. I don’t get why you couldn’t have added a liner or thicker material to solve this.

The only other issue is a pretty common one across brands. I have a narrow waist and like to wear jeans without a belt if I want and without them sagging. I’m wearing 28/32s. It’s hard to get your hands into the front pockets. The opening shouldn’t be changing proportionally to the waist size. For the most part, the pockets should be all the sane size unless you’re ordering a very large waist. The seat could also use slightly more room too if I’m being picky.

Overall great jeans! Too bad I can’t wear fun underwear without the entire bar knowing…

Dark grey, consistent sizing and amazing fit.

Do not leave home without cuffing them to show your selvedge stripes!

I would love to see them Made In the USA!
