They look cool.
I'd buy a pair.
See? Emsz is well cool, and agrees with me. 😀
I think the people that don't see a need for cycling specific jeans, don't actually ride bikes.
Normal jeans for riding? [url= http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing001.gi f" target="_blank">http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing001.gi f"/> [/img][/url]
Saw something about these several months ago, but as I bought some half price 511s in the Canary Wharf shop in June I'm sure that they'll last me for the next couple of years.
Normal jeans for riding?
I once wore a pair of cut-off jeans for a Beastway race. Shooduv seen the looks of disgust on the start line.
And then again, at the end as I waited for them to come over the line way after I'd finished. 😀
I've ridden all day in jeans. If 'cycling specific jeans' are more comfy and practical, bring 'em on!
aP; why you is no tell me half-price in CW? Why you is no buy for me them?
Anyone found a UK supplier for these? $78 on the US Levi's site.
Wouldn't Swirve jeans do the job just as well? £80 and available skinny or normal / wider fit. All the features (I think) and not made by some corporate giant.
I'm not sure I want to ride in jeans though, terrible in wet or heat and will wear out so quickly you will still look compromised in the pub or dress down friday etc.
swrve?
Yeah probs do the same job. Can't see that the fabric is treated though? Go some Alpkit jeanius jeans which are nice but I like the look of the Levi's (and the swrve's!). Not for full on rides but for nipping into town and little errands.
Has anyone bought these now that they're available in the UK?
Just ordered the jacket.
Been keeping an eye on them over the past few months and had a look on their site last night. The cut is all wrong for what I'd be looking for in cycling jeans. Had a look at the jacket but the back of it looks crap.
Check out Fred Perrys old school cycling gear that just came out over the past few days. The jacket is like a bin bag but I quite like it. Shoes on the other hand..
I'd check the Muxu ones, they look pretty good. But
Hopefully they will have considered the cyclist's physique - i.e. large thighs and 'seat', rather than the fixie rider's physique i.e. 13 year old girl
this.
jeans certainly wontfit my tree trunk thighs
also didnt see the date at the start and thought fred had come back!!
bought a pair of 511s not realising they were "cycling" jeans - certainly wouldn't ride a bike very far in them, just standard slim fit jeans with a bit of stretch in them....
why oh why did they make these slim fit?

Normally buy 514's (Slim straight) in the US for $40 a pair. 511's are the same price, but noticeably slimmer. Tried the 511's, and I'm quite a whippet (30w-32l), but I think most people of my age would want a little more cloth in their trousers - hence I wear 514's.
Might look out for a pair next time I'm over, but not at list price.
Where's the best place to buy these (or any other nice jeans) cheaply? No way I'm paying full retail.
So basically it's a pair of jeans for people who commute a distance long enough to warrant the use of specific cycling bottoms (like shorts or cycling trousers).
Something that shout very loudly "LOOK LOOK LOOK AT ME I AM A CYCLIST... BUT I AM A CYCLIST THAT IS SO AWESOME I DON'T USE CYCLING KIT".
Now I bet you the marketing department of Levis is filled up with marketeers from specialized...
You can get them in levis stores..odd that.
Bought Raphas a while back..is most excellent.
They are available in France... Who want one. I'll charge 10€ + postage to get it redelivered in the UK 😀
