Ha. I know exactly what you mean. If I ever go back to selvedge, I’m gonna have to accept they’re going to be a loose fit/look shit. I’ve got big legs and a big arse and tapered jeans like the ED55 look best, but any amount of movement is a mare.
Makes me lol. I’ve deffo had the same experience of getting angry and taking my jeans off exactly as you described.

I have a pair of Ed 71s that I just can't get on with. Something about the fit and stiffness makes them really restrictive. Kind of feels like wearing a pair of bondage trousers (one would imagine). Tying my shoelaces in them is a major chore.
I think it's because they were much longer in the leg than I need and are turned up a total of about 6 inches (both trimmed and turned up). That, and the low rise slipping down has the effect of restricting movement. I like the way they look but man, I can't wear them anymore. I got so annoyed with them the other day that I took them off and spent the last hour of the day pottering about the kitchen in my pants.
