Before I bought this pair I had no clue what Japanese Denim really ment. Once I tried them on I instanly realized how good the jeans fabric feels. For the last atleast 5-6 years I have been waring slim or skinny fit jeans with up to 5% elastine which means the jeans had stretch so to finally try on a loose fit model with no stretch took a little while to get used to. At first they felt enormous but bye the next day my eyes got used to the bigger volume of my new jeans. And as a conclusion these jeans are simply great and great to wear and there are no holes or extra patches of fabrik on them so its the fit itself that makes the jean. Not the extra bells and whistles.

I've been looking for a decent pair of Jean's that aren't too tight on my thighs..... these do not disappoint. Well worth the money.

Very happy with my new pair of selvedge 551Z rigids... Real old school fit, relaxed and very comfortable. denim is great quality ( Japanese made top notch). Fits just right- got one size up.Thanks!

This is a stealh Levi's jeans that you wear and not want anyone else know you're wearing a Levi's. This is a standard 551fit, loose around the thighs. There is almost nothing on the jeans that identifies it as a Levi's. The patch is black. The tab is black. The arcuate stitching is missing from the back pockets and stitched underneath(completely invisible and only visible on the inside of the pants.) Selvedge denim is from Japan and it is sewn in Turkey. The material is a mid/light weight, rather soft and has been through a single light wash and is almost raw. Cut and sewing are spotless with no flaws. It is comfortable, high quality and a great buy.

Received them one week ago and I couldn't be happier. Everything I expected. Too bad they are difficult to find in some popular sizes.

At first I was a little let down by the feel of the fabric, which started out scratchy, but after a few wearings they feel GREAT! Also, I was initially put off by the lack of stitching on back pockets, but I’ve fallen in love with the fit AND the feel so who cares?
