  • Nothing fits me that well tbh. I have really skinny ankles. Like really skinny. Even if I get my jeans tapered they say what’s feasible is not enough for me. I bought a pair of ASOS super skinny jeans just for sizing and they fit right in the ankles but are tighter than tight everywhere else.

    I didn’t really ride that often in my uniqlo jeans but I did spend money having them tapered so I’ll cough up the £8 on @dubtap ‘s recommendation

  • two things:

    1) If you can't find anything thight enough at the ankles, I think you are aiming for the wrong look :) Roll up or stuff-in-sock to avoid wiping the chain when riding.

    2) If I had problems with crotchal failures, I'd get some sturdier jeans and have them reinforced from the beginning. Add a yoke to the inside and they should last twice as long. Or add yokes inside and outside and change them when they wear out.

  • Mate.

    I don’t think you understand. Standard and slim fit jeans look like criminal damage baggies on me. I wear a size 6 trainer or boot and combined with my minuscule ankles it’s a fucking nightmare.

  • I got some petit new standard and they are ridiculously narrow at the ankles. Might be worth a look?

    I'm going to swap them for some petit standard.
