I am not sure what alien these were made for but the fit is bizarre. The only jeans I wear are NYDJ Marilyn. These pants are tight at the top, get tighter at the knees to the point that bending my knees is uncomfortable, then they flare a bit at the calves. The inner leg stitching is puckered and just seems "off." I am wondering if these are knock-off jeans - either that or whoever cut the pattern for this batch was getting a little too creative.
