Amazon Essentials Men’s Athletic-Fit Stretch Jeans – Discontinued Colors

Inexpensive, fits well, comfortable. Great pair of jeans.
My new favorite jeans. The fact their $20 makes them even better. They fit very well with a nice slim leg, but still roomy enough in the waist, seat and thigh. Just the right weight (fairly light) for Florida. They looked kind of yellowish, but as soon as I washed them it was gone. Guess it’s some leftover bleaching from the cloth manufacturing.

Great fit for gym-rat waist and quads, but tight in the calf area
These jeans fit like the proverbial glove in the waist / glute / thigh area, but I have genetically huge calf muscles (even without working them in the gym,) and the cut of these jeans is fairly tight from the knee downward. They’ll stretch with use of course, so I can still wear them, but if I were going to do a Rev B on these I’d take into account the fact that people who are gym rats will also work their calves. Which means a bit more circumferential span is needed there.They don’t need much of a tweak – else you’d end up with lower legs that are relaxed-fit-baggy – but maybe another inch in total circumference at the calf. When I bend down for something and stand back up these ride up my calves and stick there, I’ve suddenly got the Pee-Wee Herman high-water style and have to pull them back down.Not a big deal though. Again they *will* stretch, they are still an excellent fit, they’re inexpensive, they’re available in a solid, dark indigo dye. Call me strange but I’m not enthused at the idea of buying jeans that look like they’ve been pre-worn for six months by a garage mechanic with a serious incontinence problem. If there’s some kind of perceived stylishness in jeans that are visibly worn, buying them pre-stressed is as lame as buying a guitar with the paint pre-worn. Like “Oh, dig ME, I’ve used these so intensely that the paint is worn off. Except… umm, not really.” No. Just… no. Best of all these are available in 28″ length on 32″ waist, which eliminates a big peeve of mine vis-à-vis jeans:Manufacturers sell pants based on waist vs. inseam measurements, and while the waist measurement is a definite thing, the inseam is not. Tailors typically measure your inseam from the point of direct contact with your groin down to your ankle. So think about it, or better yet just stand up right now and check this out: When you’re standing, whatever pants you’re wearing do *not* magically stay snugged right up to your Naughty Bits. Rather, the actual cross-seam where the inseam starts will generally hang at least an inch or two *below* the actual, physical surface of your body from which the inseam usually gets measured.Which means – sur-vey SEZ? – the pants you buy with your tailor-measured inseam will be too long, and you’re going to be walking around on top of that last inch of cuff, cursing the fact with every step. Unless you go to the expense and hassle of having them altered after the fact. So… a selection of inseam dimensions that actually matches people’s true pant-leg length! Amazing! The only thing Amazon – and the whole of the garment industry – could do better is offer men’s jeans with those tailor-assumption-inseam options extending all the way down to 26″ or 27″. We’re not all bean-poles out here. I would argue that the vast majority of men, at least in N. America, are shorter than the garment industry weirdly assumes.I’m writing this before having done a wash and with only a day’s wear, so I can’t comment on how durable the dye is. But at least it’s at an intense, deep blue as a starting point – and assuming the dye is of decent quality that’s the best you can ask for.[Update 07-27-24: All of the above applies – still a good pair of jeans – but I’m not happy with how the dye is fading. There’s a serious fade on both the front and back of the thighs but nowhere else, so the result is that cheesy two-tone thing that screams “Dig these bargain jeans I got from K-Mart!” I probably won’t be buying more of these until (unless) I start seeing raves about how this problem – and the calf-size problem – have been corrected in a Rev. B.]

Good quality and durable
Jeans fit great and true to size. Good fabric and very durable. Even if left in the dryer too long they don’t wrinkle much. Just enough give in the waste to be helpful bending over or having to change a tire on the side of the road. Had to kneel in the dirt and sit in wet grass, no stains and no tears from the gravel. Will be purchasing more of these in the future.

Not typical jean material
I have bought a pair of jeans from Amazon Essentials before and loved them. These however were a different material than the last. they are much more of a spandex stretchy material which I like, but was not expecting. They fit lower on the waist which is nice and the length is a bit shorter than standard 32″. Pockets were tight, so functionally it is harder to get stuff in and out. Because of the spandex material they are pretty wrinkle resistant.

Köpte på Prime days.. helt klart värt det för det priset.

Muy buen producto, la tela me recuerda unos pantalones Levis que usé en los 90’s, de calidad, gruesa. Por otro lado la calidad de las costuras tambien muy sobresaliente.Compré pantalones para mi hijo y para mí.

These jeans are a great value! Cut is equivalent to a Levi’s 541. The quality is surprisingly good for the price and they have a tiny bit of stretch for comfort.I love that they come in a wide range of sizes, so finding the right fit is easy. They run true to size and there’s no branding to be seen, which gives them a clean, classic look.Definitely worth grabbing a pair!
