Why Travel Jeans Are Worth It - Performance Denim At It’s Best!

[@josephsmith2634]

I'm glad they have stretch because you wouldn't be able to move if they didn't.

[@nikhilsrl]

Most of his pants are skinny and you are right, for skinny jeans, you need stretch. I cant imagine how else anyone can move wearing those.

[@wynkoop2000]

I travel up to 130k airline miles a year and live in performance/travel denim. I’ve tried a lot and have two favorites for their sheer comfort: 1. UNIQLO EZY Jeans (basically sweat pants) 2. Bonobos Summer Weight Jeans (I prefer these over their actual JetSetter & Travel Jeans).

[@ankitthehot]

Got myself Uniqlo EZY Jeans yesterday and love it. Got so used to sweat pants while working from home, that wearing regular jeans and going to office started to feel uncomfortable.

[@PicoFromTX]

The stretchiest denim I’ve ever experienced is American eagles flex denim. You can legit do lunges , and squats in them. It’s almost too much stretch lol.

[@alexanderlavoie5461]

I have a pair. It's insane.

[@Miamis4me305]

Pico ha! I agree! Actually wear them on the plane when flying to Europe cause they’re crazy comfortable. I thought I was the only one that thought they might be too stretchy 😂

[@Seanonyoutube]

How can a pant be too stretchy? Do they lose their shape?

[@DogmannUK]

Pictures or it did happen 😂😂😂

[@arccway]

Thanks dude! I'm definitely going to give the Duer travel jeans a try!

[@jaketilton4839]

You might want to check out Rohan. It's a British company and I have loved their travel jeans and travel slacks for years.

[@shahirhaffajee3524]

Try searching tactical jeans. Some companies had those stretchy denim and extra features build in like gusseted crotch, hidden pockets etc. I had few 5.11 defender flex jeans as my travel jeans.

[@chrisvela5462]

I wear Defender Flex slims and they work well for me. I actually carry a blade so the reinforced pockets ate a godsend.

[@tbechmannfrost]

Chris Vela why do you carry a blade?

[@billyethridge1558]

Hidden zippered pockets is an ideal place for passports and money. If someone can pick those pockets then they deserve a gold star.

Way too tight on your frame. That fit is not slim.

[@chronometa]

For people with bigger legs and hips the duer seems to fit great

[@trentgilliam5192]

Skinny pants that are so tight that they bunch up around the front and back of the knees just looks bad to me. But what do I know? Maybe that’s the new look?

[@TimothyNegron]

perhaps you should size up.. jeans looking like they were sprayed on bud.

[@mattschwarzenberg]

That's the best look ,super tight

[@TimothyNegron]

matt schwarzenberg sure.. the best look if it was 2010.

[@Seanonyoutube]

He does have the ass for it...no homo

[@TheNunakun]

Negative about slim fit: can never use the pockets since your wallet or phone will stick out like a morning tent. Even tho I won't be using the pockets, I appreciate the extra ensurance.

[@TheJhtlag]

Thinking that. A little baginess hides that better.

[@PrimoViolin]

Hey Jon! Dig the video. I am definitely a fan of zip pockets these days!

[@dan83to]

I am not ready yet to add any other jean in my wardrobe rather than 3x1 hehe but interesting category that definitely has its relevance!

[@technum1]

Have got physically bigger. I recently saw the chino video and most pants were 30 to 31 waist. Or is it simply a different brand or type of pants. I am thankful for your videos because I definitely needed a confidence booster to buy 31 size pants.

[@emmanuelguerrero5814]

[@trentgilliam5192]

fdskjfhsdhjgsid The butt part of the jeans weren’t tight. Even a little “baggy” in the butt. It’s the legs that look way to tight.

[@bradleystroup1457]

Interesting. I was going to say that in my experience stretch denim doesn't last but is comfortable like you said but my issue with the selvedge denim is most you don't wash regularly, it's a special process and that seems nasty to me. Looking forward to the round up to find a good inbetween.

[@anachronismic]

Bradley Stroup that’s raw denim, and really it’s just wash the jeans and air dry when they need it lol. People go extra with it but it’s fine to just be kinda normal with it.

[@wilsjane]

Not washing jeans is juts a stupid urban legend. Dirt. particularly grit and sand can tear the denim apart, particularly in the crotch area where they flex as you walk. I dry them naturally, rather than cooking them in a drier and they last longer than my idiot friends dirty smelly jeans. A buildup of bacteria can also eat through cotton, just like mold Washing the jeans inside out can reduce the fading and a milder detergent also helps. A small amount of starch every so often also helps retain the fabric, but if they turn into a limp rag, I avoid the brand in the future.

[@mohamedahmed1023]

Did you get those jeans tailored? Because they all look skinny and not slim.

[@jedwardoo]

Which brand of these kind of jeans would you recommend?

[@grandmofftarkin4762]

Everyone should check out EXPRESSMEN skinny hyper stretch jeans I really like them

[@lesrock6065]

Nice jeggings

[@mkryu]

Jeans these days don't last. I bought a pair of APC raw selvedge denim 10yrs ago (made in Vietnam). Wore them for a couple years then the crotch blew out. 4 yrs ago I bought a pair of raw selvedge denim from J Crew. Says Japanese Kaihara denim but the inner label says "Made in China"....these jeans fell apart very quickly. The threads started unraveling, the crotch ripped in less than a year! I bought a pair of Levi's 501's (made in Egypt) and in less than 6 months, the crotch blew out. Hey, but a few years ago I pulled out a pair of Levi's 501's that I had from the 80's that were raw shrink-to-fit (Made in the USA). I wore them very seldomly back when they were new but started wearing them for the past 4 years on and off and they've faded into a nice dark deep blue after a few washes. The past year, these have been my daily jeans and yet they are still sturdy as ever. The crotch has not blown out like all these expensive designer jeans selvedge jeans that I've tried and these jeans cost about $30 back in the day. What's up with the cheap quality with denim these days? These 501's are about 30yrs old too!

[@Hypee559]

Are the older jeans the same fit as the ones you’ve been buying recently? Perhaps you’re buying too tight, or doing something that expedites the process, because I have a pair from Levi’s that I’ve had for 6-7 years and they’re still going strong.

[@mkryu]

@@Hypee559 the older 501's are more snug in the butt and thigh than the newer ones and higher waisted. Maybe these newer denim tends to rip easier because they're lighter weight denim? The 80's 501s are rather thick. They were fuzzy when they were dark but the fuzz is gone and now the fade and texture is very nice.

[@wilsjane]

@@mkryu The old type 501's were awesome and lasted forever. Back in my student days, we used them to stub our cigarettes out when getting on a bus or walking into a shop and it never left a mark on the denim. Even burning loose frays and threads off did not set the denim alight. Did yo notice that yours were virtually fireproof and not damaged by sparks and embers.?

[@danromero]

All these commenters need to stop telling him they're too tight. They're perfect...But aside from that, those are great options, love those hidden pockets. Definitely good for travel.

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

They're perfect if you're a woman.

[@siguureinartraustason8564]

[@TheAwesomeKiller]

Is there such thing as a jean that’s not too skinny, but has a taper down the calf and ankle? My legs are super skinny but I don’t like wearing to tight of jeans. I have Levi 512s which are a slim taper but honestly still wish they were skinnier around the ankle

[@Hypee559]

Mike Trout Take them to a tailor. A brand I would recommend is DSTLD. I had the same issue, but their skinny-slim fit jeans are perfect for me. Slim fit in the thighs for more room but skinny fit from knee to ankle for that nice taper.

[@Kam-Bogey]

Revtown jeans for me.

[@erics8757]

"Patina"... dirt. 😁 great info.

[@pcmacintyre]

Too slim for me. Looks like jeggings. What's the point of hidden pockets if they are so tight as to outline everything in your pockets? Perhaps it would have been better to show off the different fits. Regarding stretch denim, my favorite wash from 7FAM is 2% stretch. I like the look, don't care about the stretch. All of my Levi's and Lee's have no stretch.

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

What kind of dumb trend is this of relating stretch with comfort? If you need your clothes to be stretchy in order for them to be comfortable, then they are too tight. Wear something looser and roomier so that you can move around much better in your clothes, rather than glorified leotards. And there's nothing comfortable about wearing synthetic, petrochemicals filled clothes. They get too hot, itchy and stinky, especially when traveling, because synthetic fabrics are horrible at absorbing sweat.
