Was also going to say Uniqlo. Shape & price are good for me.
I’ve been living in mine for work meetings. They look lovely with a couple of turn-ups and a pair of Yuketen Maine Guide DB’s
tend to wear mine in the shower
Does Aunty Jean not notice her sofa being soaking wet after you’ve been round?

Resoling costs put me off these
Bloody hell! I used to be serious about never washing and just soaking etc but now I just wear them and lob them in the wash on 30° every few weeks. Honestly the results are the same in my own experience.

Naked & Famous or Rag & Bone here… I tend to blow the crotch out after year 2 and taken them to a tailor who reinforces that area and they then last a few more years. Usually wash 3-4x a year (cold) and they seem to last longer. Just got a new pair and will try the cold water soak…

Edwin jeans for about 15 years. Always got the crotch blowout (I don’t mean to brag, but they’re dealing with a lot) but Son of a Stag do good repairs… Recently I’ve stepped away from the jean a bit, and moved into chords and various Universal Works trousers.

crotch blowout was the reason I switched to cycling/commuter trousers. Heaps of designs have a separate crotch gusset pannel that can be replaced, and most are made from a codura / elastane blend

Still wear mainly jeans, but haven’t actually bought any for a couple of years at least. All my recent stride purchases have been these, which are really comfortable and easy to wear.
Stussy brushed beach pants can’t be beat for comfort

How’s the fit/sizing? I often struggle with Asian sized garments, being a 6’4” very European/US sized bloke.

I’m normally a 36 waist, and I’ve got them in the Asia Large / EU Medium size, which fit really well.
And I’m 5.10, and I can’t remember by how much, but I had them taken up as well, which still left enough for a turn-up, so should hopefully be ok length wise for you.

I also switched to cycling in jogging shorts due to crotch blowout in jeans.

Stopped buying Paul Smith jeans due to blowout issues.
