Out of curiosity, what about the crotch?

I've realised that every pair of non-baggy jeans I've had have blasted through the crotch. Some faster than the others, but all without fail.

Never tried insanely heavy weight denim as I get quite claustrophobic in restrictive clothes.

No true cotton denim lasts with biking, if that's what you're asking. that said, i just get the crotch darned for 15 bucks and its good as new for another few years.

the heavy weight denim takes a year to even start to break in and can feel quite restrictive.

truth is i was thinking of the tapered pants for @Nef from Tellason when i suggested it. theyre great.

a lot of the selections from tellason have videos of actual non-model humans wearing them.
