Yeah, the Uniqlo selvedge isn't bad, IMO. Got a couple pair last Christmas when they went on sale for $25. I think ppl here have said that the quality has declined from what they once were, but I like them. I don't wear denim everyday, so these will last me a while.

Those look pretty good. Funny how differently biker jeans are viewed in this thread than the designer clothing thread. They only like balmain ones and call the affordable brand ones ugly imitations.

Anybody familiar with sizing and Quality on Fabric Brand & Co jeans.
I'm really liking these jeans on Mr. Porter. they are ripped & repaired slim fit with sashiko stitching

Really wanted to jump on these when I seen them in store but couldn't.
It's like everything is geared towards skinny, slim fit jeans and I'm just not built like that.
Any suggestions on what I should do? I got a slim waist but I got big thighs and bum from squatting and ish.
Whenever I size up, the leg openings become ridiculously huge and end up looking bell bottoms.
I'm looking for biker denim, ripped jeans, regular denim. Any help?

Best option might be size up and get them tailored if you want denim from a brand that only offers slim/skinny fit. Maybe someone else can chime in on brands that offer nice denim for guys with bigger thighs

What's the consensus on AG Jeans? I'm a fan of their Graduate Fit. It gives you a little room in the thigh, but has a more tapered fit below the knee.

I used to wear AG heavy back in 05-07. They caught on to the slim/tapered fit way too late and I couldn't rock with them. IMO AG are cool, but not worth retail. Go to their outlets or find them on sale. Nordstrom Rack used have a bunch back in the day.

Thanks. I actually bought a pair at retail from Nordstrom, then took them back when I found a similar pair at The Rack for much less.

Nah I think that's the measurement going completely around. Wouldn't that be usually given as a 6.5" opening? That's a smaller leg opening isn't it?

you sure that's not the thigh measurement or something fam? Must be looking at some bell bottoms if not

and it says 13.75 " leg opening

Yup it's smaller for sure but some people strive for small leg opening so people taper their jeans.

Dawg, come on lol
. You divide by 2. 6.8 inch leg opening. Yes I would consider that "huge" for me, but I prefer 6.25" openings. Really boils down to perspective (personal preference/stature etc.)

that is the circumference of the leg opening

I have the same type of build and used to struggle to find skinny jeans that fit nicely at the bottom of the leg without being mad tight in the thigh area. Your best bet is to cop that regular fit (or size up) so you'll have room in that area then take them to a tailor to get them tapered at the bottom.

I'm 5'11 and was about 220 when I ordered my Nudie Steady Eddies. They were much tighter than they are now (210) but it's a perfect fit imo. Nice taper, somewhat fitted without being hella uncomfortable. Ordered the 34 x 32 i think for my next pair i would go for 33 x 34. love em tho

If you're RRL jeans are selevedge I wouldn't drop them off at a local tailor. I would send them off somewhere that knows how to deal with selvedge denim. I sent a pair of my boot cut RRL to get tailored and they are unwearable now.

13.75 isn't huge for a taper to me, here are PRPS Fury's and they are around that opening
