First off, I have to say I was more excited about these jeans than any other pair I have ever owned. I am 6'4", 225lb with a formerly muscular athletic build with a bit of a dad bod on top. My waist measures 36" and my inseam measures 34" but pants with a 34 inseam are always way too short. My thighs are 26.5" diameter, so finding jeans that fit my waist and thighs are always difficult. These jeans fit better than ANY pair I have ever tried before. And trust me, its been a 20+ year search. Plus they look good too!

Now the bad, the back pockets tore away from the butt. See the picture. This happened after 1 months use just around the house. I wasn't using these for manual labor or anything too rugged. I had planned too, because the denim is pretty heavy and felt sturdy, but clearly these jeans were not made for the working type. The only thing I can think of is that my wallet (I only carry 2 cards and some cash) or my phone put too much stress on the pocket. But this should not have happened with use like that. I would give one star if they hadn't fit so well.

I had really hoped these would last longer than Levis or Lee jeans, but the truth is they didn't. I'll be trying out the Wrangler Original Cowboy Cuts next since those have a much better reputation than their retro line. Unfortunately I cannot recommend these.
