These are good quality raw denim. They feel uncomfortable at first but they will eventually mold to your body. I recommend taking a pair of jeans that you already own and measure the upper thigh, knee, leg opening, and front rise. Then take those measurements and choose the size that closely matches them. I did this and am happy with the fit. Only issue is the inseam is standard at 34 which isn't a problem because I can just get them hemmed to my preference. I cant wait to see how these fade.
