Is this the right thread to talk about my recent foray into selvedge denim? I have been in a pair of Kato 10.5 oz 4-way stretch jeans for an hour and a half and these are the most comfortable pants I've ever owned. Basically feels like I'm naked (in all the right ways). I don't understand or care about fashion in the slightest, but comfort is fucking KING!
I've been fighting Levi's inconsistent sizing, general discomfort, and short lifespan for years. If these last even half the time they claim to, I'm a total convert

Levi’s have become really bad in the last few years. Supposedly they’re cutting some shit back and trying to focus more on direct to customer sales through brick and mortar stores and their website. Hopefully that will help clear out some the most useless cuts and washes and downsize stock so we can have more regular sizing and better quality fit/finish. That same Levi’s premium are very nice and worth the money IMO.
As far as Kato; idk I’m a fan of stretch but like a little bit and for the most part I just buy jeans that fit my body and not skinny low rise/whatever’s fashionable at the time. I’ve heard good things about Katos quality but I’ll never wear them.
Wrangler cowboy cut and Freenote Wilkes are all I wear anymore, high rise roomy top block slight taper and a zip fly. Pocket placement is a hugely important aspect to me, having them closer to the out seam makes them more comfortable to wear and sit in.

Found a new pair of Momotaro dirt cheap on Grailed and now I'm hooked. I never saw the appeal when I first started getting into denim, but their 0605 cut is perfect for me. Could maybe be a little less tapered, but i'm not going to complain.
Now I'm obsessively checking new listings every day hoping for another cheap pair.

Here to bitch about Levi’s. I’m finally getting to the point of wearing out my 531 (I wear 32x30), I order a new pair and it’s like I’m trying on a 16 year olds skinny jeans. Even laid the new pair on top of the old pair and there’s like a 3” difference lol

Bought two pairs of 505s at the same time, in the same size last year and they fit like completely different pants

3sixteen is running one hour flash sales all day. Had some denim on sale last hour, flannels are up now. Good deals to be had.
Last week, I got some Lee 101s for $40. Brown selvedge Japanese fabric, made in Titaly. I think some web guy just fucked up the pricing, usual retail for $200+. TThey’ve got a 20% off code now with some selvedge jeans listed at $120, so they come out to under $100. Run a little bit so size down from Levi sizing.

Great pair of pants, unfortunately that fit doesn’t work for me anymore.

I have an old pair of Warehouse Lee repros and the fit is so good, just too small in the waist now. I really like Lee’s details.

I gotta find the bin they’re in and I’ll give you guys the style codes but they are all varying types of taper, at least one being a ct-100x

I was very big into Acronym for a hot minute (still held on to one pair of pants from them) and the dedicated phone pocket they'd slap on all of their pants ruled. Perfect placement as far as where it lied on the leg.

I dislike giant pockets, I hate the way they feel on the leg. The biggening of peoples' phones has made this worse. I purposely buy small phones on purpose because I am an activist and this is my way of fighting back.

Are you wearing like JNCOs or something?
