No two bodies are the same so no fit will be the same therefor it is fruitless and inaccurate for me to tell you that the brixton is the perfect slim fit. All I can tell you is that it is a lean slim fit cut that works well with a slender body but may be too slim for one with well developed muscular legs (think soccer players, cyclists and those who say "Tuesday is a quads day.") The superior distinction between the Joe's Brixton and say a Levis 513 is marginal but it is enough for me to put in the extra dough not to mention denim soft like silk, high quality selvedge and of course that beautiful dark blue was with a touch of elegant shimmer. Dressed up or down I get regular compliments on this pair and I love it so much that I had to buy two. It is the best pair I have ever tried on and no $400 Prada or Dolce can pull me away from them. If you get one pair of nice jeans for weddings, nice lounges, interviews, or formal events then I wouldn't suggest anything else. Well worth $250. Yes, $250. Save a year for them and all other jeans can be for regular wear, unless of course you have to dough. Dry clean or hand wash with specific denim detergent to retain the color. Hang dry.
