I personally LOVE these jeans.

Things you should know about the denim used in the Rigid finish:

-It is heavyweight (14.75oz), other denim seems to range between 9oz and 12 oz.

-It does not stretch, has almost no give.

-It is stiff, unless this is the look you are going for these may not be for you. I have worn them several times and am barely beginning to break them in.

-As noted in other reviews, sizing runs big, so order a size smaller than what you normally wear and they'll fit fine.

I chose the rigid wash specifically for the reasons noted above. I prefer heavier/stiffer denim. I'm a big guy and most regular weight jeans seem to fray in the seat/inseam area prematurely for me. Not these bad boys!

I would highly recommend these jeans!
