I got the Swrve ones. the regular trim fit is slim at the calves, slimmer than my usual straight leg jeans. They won’t work well with a pair of Timberland boots as they won’t go over the top. I guess that’s OK for folks in their teens. Not so for an elderly bloke like me. The slim fit makes sense as they don’t flap about on the bike. I can only imagine that the skinny fit ones are like a pair of tights. The Cordura ‘denim’ is neat. Feels very much like a soft denim. It stretches a bit which makes the jeans very comfy and makes movement whilst walking or riding much easier than tough, rigid denim. So comfy that I feel drawn to more stretch clothing if this is how it feels…
The pen pockets are handy – no more stabbing yourself in the leg as you get on the bike.
The mobile phone pocket on the back is OK for my slim Nokia work phone, but no use for a smart phone. The pockets are a nice depth for jeans. I can get my big hands all the way in and stuff stays in the pockets when I sit down. Different from some jeans with their pretend pockets. Not quite as good as Bill’s Khakis with their landfill-size pockets though.
The reflective bits are neat:2 reflective belt loops and a stripe on the inside of the right leg. The washing instructions warn that you need to be cool with these jeans to reduce abrasion and wear on the reflective stuff, so this could do with a bit of improvement.
Would I buy them again? Possibly, especially if the fit was a little bit looser on the calves.
