Strange Fit
These jeans are surprisingly tight across the thigh. The waist is loose as a I sized up for a "looser" fit per advice of the site but the thigh area is almost unbearable. The tightness and stiffness of the material makes these difficult to move around in. I have other jeans from Joes such as the straight fit that have more room across the thigh. Somehow the "relaxed" fit of these jeans is tighter in the thigh than the straight fit. Additionally, the length is much longer than other 30" inseams from Joes in past purchases.
I purchased these on final sale, otherwise I would have returned them. Could be the issues I've noted is why they were on such a deep discount... Maybe there is a break-in period, but they are so uncomfortable I don't see myself wearing them long enough to achieve it.... For the price point, you can find more comfortable pairs of jeans.
