G-Star RAW men's jeans

G-Star RAW runs narrower than average, especially through the thighs. The fabrics are generally heavier, so less supple at the first try-on. On a pre-owned pair of jeans, a patina is an asset, thinned fabric is a flaw: the difference shows at the crotch and the pocket bags, which need looking at against the light. Check the rivets, the belt loops, and on stretch denim the spring of the elastane, which never comes back once lost.
