Have you done a soak? I think the rule of thumb is anywhere between 30 to 50 wears to get totaly nice and soft.

I reckon I’ve worn them at least 50 times, have soaked them and have washed them cold. Still pretty stiff.

Reckon next step is to thrash them with a stout stick, perhaps beech

When I get new jeans I'll generally wear them every day and softening starts after a few months. So in reality, 50 wears isn't really much...
