Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I've found the commuter jeans to be pretty decent tbh. They're super comfy, stretchy, hang low, slim fit and I don't fall over trying to get on a bike like I do with stiff raw selvedge. Utterly bizarre that he describes them as "stiff, crinkly" when they're anything but.

I see he's "gently mocking levis" for going for "that demographic."

I think it would be easier to gently mock his pish article but there you go.

STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM LEVI's commuter gash:

I was given a pair at the LMNH launch that died at the crutch within 48hrs!!! Ok there may be some reason or explanation but during my attempts to get an exchange NOBODY from the company demanded to see how or why this could happen in such a short space of time. Instead they chose to wet the bed and complain to the peoples that hired me to do their launch. They didn't give a damn and were more concerned with getting the 'right' bloggers in their top pocket.

There is no way any of the companies that are dedicated to cycling would ever behave this way. STAY AWAY FROM LEVI's commuter shiiiite.
