This is the first review I have ever written after hundreds of Amazon purchases. Why write one now? Because these are perfect jeans for me. I can get them in 28” length. I don’t need to waste extra money to shorten them. Great amount of stretch. Waist band is stretchy without being heavy like Lee’s and others. The denim has a nice soft feel. Unusual for denim. Love the athletic fit that sits at the waist but tapers. To get jeans that are not wide at the leg opening in the past I have bought slim tapered jeans of various brands but they are ALL below the waist and constantly ride down, very frustrating! These stay put. I even wear them frequently without a belt! Super comfortable without being baggy. Before getting these, out of frustration, I bought a super pricey pair of jeans from Nordstroms for $150!!! Those are not as comfortable and now I feel like a total dope. Lesson learned. Ignore the bad reviews. Do not ever overpay! Buy these, look good, feel good and smile all the way to the bank. P.S. they wash up just fine with no noticeable shrinkage. Read more
I’ve had several pairs off these. I have them to wear well, to be well made, and comfortable. What more could one want? Read more
These jeans fit like the proverbial glove in the waist / glute / thigh area, but I have genetically huge calf muscles (even without working them in the gym,) and the cut of these jeans is fairly tight from the knee downward. They'll stretch with use of course, so I can still wear them, but if I were going to do a Rev B on these I'd take into account the fact that people who are gym rats will also work their calves. Which means a bit more circumferential span is needed there. They don't need much of a tweak - else you'd end up with lower legs that are relaxed-fit-baggy - but maybe another inch in total circumference at the calf. When I bend down for something and stand back up these ride up my calves and stick there, I've suddenly got the Pee-Wee Herman high-water style and have to pull them back down. Not a big deal though. Again they *will* stretch, they are still an excellent fit, they're inexpensive, they're available in a solid, dark indigo dye. Call me strange but I'm not enthused at the idea of buying jeans that look like they've been pre-worn for six months by a garage mechanic with a serious incontinence problem. If there's some kind of perceived stylishness in jeans that are visibly worn, buying them pre-stressed is as lame as buying a guitar with the paint pre-worn. Like "Oh, dig ME, I've used these so intensely that the paint is worn off. Except... umm, not really." No. Just... no. Best of all these are available in 28" length on 32" waist, which eliminates a big peeve of mine vis-à-vis jeans: Manufacturers sell pants based on waist vs. inseam measurements, and while the waist measurement is a definite thing, the inseam is not. Tailors typically measure your inseam from the point of direct contact with your groin down to your ankle. So think about it, or better yet just stand up right now and check this out: When you're standing, whatever pants you're wearing do *not* magically stay snugged right up to your Naughty Bits. Rather, the actual cross-seam where the inseam starts will generally hang at least an inch or two *below* the actual, physical surface of your body from which the inseam usually gets measured. Which means - sur-vey SEZ? - the pants you buy with your tailor-measured inseam will be too long, and you're going to be walking around on top of that last inch of cuff, cursing the fact with every step. Unless you go to the expense and hassle of having them altered after the fact. So... a selection of inseam dimensions that actually matches people's true pant-leg length! Amazing! The only thing Amazon - and the whole of the garment industry - could do better is offer men's jeans with those tailor-assumption-inseam options extending all the way down to 26" or 27". We're not all bean-poles out here. I would argue that the vast majority of men, at least in N. America, are shorter than the garment industry weirdly assumes. I'm writing this before having done a wash and with only a day's wear, so I can't comment on how durable the dye is. But at least it's at an intense, deep blue as a starting point - and assuming the dye is of decent quality that's the best you can ask for. [Update 07-27-24: All of the above applies - still a good pair of jeans - but I'm not happy with how the dye is fading. There's a serious fade on both the front and back of the thighs but nowhere else, so the result is that cheesy two-tone thing that screams "Dig these bargain jeans I got from K-Mart!" I probably won't be buying more of these until (unless) I start seeing raves about how this problem - and the calf-size problem - have been corrected in a Rev. B.] Read more
I think I found my new favorite jeans. Great fit and price. With the extra stretch, I actually had to go down a waist size. Great jeans. Read more
These Amazon Basics men’s jeans fit my husband absolutely amazing! For those who have big and tall husbands, you know how difficult it can be to find clothing that fits well. I was pleasantly surprised that Amazon Basics offers a line that truly accommodates big and tall sizes. I bought these jeans for my husband, and they look incredible on him. They don’t look cheap at all — they look premium, stylish, and very well made. He also said they’re extremely comfortable, which is a huge win. I went back and bought more because you really can’t beat the price for the quality, comfort, and fit. Premium look + big and tall friendly + comfortable = a total win-win. Read more
My husband loves these pants he even bought another pair the first is good not too tight not to loose. The color is great you can dress up or down. Read more
A fan of Levi's 531 for athletic fit with tapered leg but they have been discontinued. Ran into these and said, let's give them a shot. Received overnight - EXCELLENT, color - EXCELLENT, nice Indio color, athletic fit - EXCELLENT, fit perfectly on the wait, tapered leg - FAIL. These are unfortunately not tapered at all. I would label the leg as more of a "straight" through the leg. In my return, I asked them to update the listing for folks like me looking for a thinner tapered leg jean with athletic fit in the waist and thighs. Read more
I like how they fit and seem to be well made, however this pair ripped in the first week! (See photo). Amazon replaced with a new pair, so hopefully that was just a fluke because I bought 3 pair. Read more
