I picked these up as they were on sale. I was a bit skeptical of buying jeans online and not being able to try them on first, but I've always had good luck with Southpole. These jeans are no different. When Southpole marks jeans 29x30 (or seemingly any other size according to friends) the size is accurate. These are marked relaxed fit and while they are a little looser than the other two pair of Southpole jeans I own, they aren't a 30 inch waist (or 31 or 32) as some brands do when marking products "relaxed" or "loose".

My only complaint is minor. The jeans are a bit lighter in the greyscale than they appear in the photo.

Anyway, I can't wait to pair these together with my all black sneakers and a shirt that's grey/black/white.
