  • Given up on cycle specific jeans altogether as they all wear out in months. Now I just ride in primark slim jeans. £10, with stretch and a button fly. No gusset but my saddle has a cut out anyway.

  • Do they last? Do you think about the supply chain? This isn't a snipe, I'm genuinely curious whether it's something you consider. If the £10 jeans last longer than the more expensive ones then they're probably better in terms of environmental impact.

  • They last about the same, certainly longer than the Rapha and Muxu jeans that failed after three months. Insofar as supply chain I have to admit to being ignorant, each company claims to be ethical, I know primark certainly had a shady past but are supposed to be reformed.
    Either way, I have a fabric obsessed sibling so nothing gets thrown away once I’m finished using them.
    Basically I have not found better value in cycling specific jeans to the primark ones, in my experience with my setup.

  • I thought Uniqlo’s supply chain was relatively ok no? They say they are anyway
