After a few weeks of break-in, I can easily give this 5 stars. The color and fabric feel are great. I am 5'11", 175 lbs, ordered size 31. It was snug at first but stretched a bit after a cold soak, hang dry, and wear. The waist and seat are now perfect; however, I found the thighs to still be too tight for comfort. I suppose I have "athletic" thighs after all. I had to forcefully stretch out the upper thighs to make them comfortably fit my legs + phone and wallet in the pockets. Don't let that discourage you! The Stock program seems to be a great deal for entry into raw denim. High quality for the price. I recommend this cut for the skinnier guys and the Stock straight cut for those with thicker thighs/butt. These are good jeans in their own right, but they also serve as steppingstones for sizing correctly for Tellason's pricier raw selvage options. The Stock slim taper's fit corresponds to Ladbroke Grove, and Stock straight to Ankara. If you're like me and these thighs are too tight, perhaps the Sheffield is the best to upgrade to.
