Gap Mens Straight Taper Fit Denim Jeans

Even the most basic store brand men's jeans start at about thrirty bucks and go skyward from there. And it's hard to find name brands any lower than that no matter where you look. This must have been my lucky day because these cost me about thirteen bucks, and that's for GAP which is usually something I expect to find on the fancy rack. I didn't expect much and I really never expected them to fit - not just to be the right size but I mean really fit, you know what I mean, fit to make me look good. THE FIT So let's start there, how do they fit? If you've heard the term like a glove that's these, I slipped them on with the tags still on them and the two most important parts that really count - my frontside and my backside, slipped right in like they were custom made just for me. I was impressed. I've tried so many of the no name brands and they fit like they were made for a space critter, one that has no curves on either side. Well I do have curves and how my jeans fit is important to me. These amaze me. THE QUALITY These look and feel like jeans used to long before they were mass produced in a factory in a far off place. They are almost all cotton and that feel can't be replicated by synthetic materials. The stitching is traditional, the pockets are in in the right place, the belt loops are the right spacing and that all important thing they call rise, the spacing between the top button to just below where the zipper stops, is perfect, they looks like a man's jeans. YES NO MAYBE Look I could go on but I've said what's important. I just want to make one thing clear. There are five different color choices but all of the reviews are lumped together. The choices included other subtle differences, the one I chose is light destroy. They look like jeans that have been washed a hundred times. And they come pre ripped. Many times ripped jeans look phony and pretentious but these look totally natural, and they are no reinforced, so they definitely will rip more. If you're okay with that, these are for you, just be aware that these are real rips. I don't care, I don't pretend to look casual, I really am, and most of the jeans in my closet are ripped and I didn't buy them that way - these just had a head start. Read more

This is the second time I've bought these pants. First time was 4 years ago and those pair just got a hole in them after those 4 years of daily use. Extremely impressed by how long they last and how well they fit. Read more

I tried these on and really liked the dark appearance - they were closer to the shade I wanted than others. Most "black" jeans don't exactly meet my expectations. Sadly, however, the fit wasn't to my liking. I got 34X34 and the waist was too tight. It's weird because normally a 34" waist fits fine, but these were tight. I could barely tuck a shirt in. I'm a tad over 6'1" with a 31' waist. I guess my advice would be to order a size up, because they were smaller than I had expected. They certainly looked good. But the waist was a little too tight for me. Can't really show that with a photo. Lighting makes them look darker than they actually are, they are closer to a dark charcoal. Read more
