Howie's Towpath look like a good trouser for cycling;

I like howies... but the fact it costs £125 to buy jeans that are ok to cycle in tells you denin's never going to be ideal for it.
I have most fun riding in old cut-off jeans.

Nah, he does alright for himself really. He outlived our other two cats, and has his (3) feet firmly placed as master of the house.
Back on topic, the I wore the new swrve jeans on my commute in this morning, and they were much more comfortable than anything else I've worn. Apart from my Oakley shorts, but they're padded. However on the ride home, it was pissing it down and they were soaked through within 10 mins. Still remained comfortable, and didn't cling like nomal jeans would, so I'm happy. I was a bit surprised to see white foam appearing on my knees though, WTF?! Must be some sort of bizarre reaction with the rain, maybe the acid in the rain reacting with the wax coating, who knows. No apparent damage done though, although they're still drying out.

primark skinny jeans
My legs are getting more and more muscular so there getting Really tight, but iv had them for a year and there Fine, Not ripped or worn.
And i abuse my jeans, allot -
Had the same white foam thing happen to me, it's just the residue of whatever washing agent the factory used on the denim, also the reason they don't cling like normal denim is that they contain 2% lycra, so they have a bit of stretch, FYI lots of skate companies make jeans with 2% lycra at the moment i have some from KREW, Altamont & RVCA, all are good to ride in and cheaper than SWRVE, don't get me wrong the cut and panelling of the SWRVE jeans is good, but the denim doesn't seem to wear very well, i've had 3 pairs and the asses of them all are now very white, to the point where i don't really wear them anymore, in my opinion i find the denim RVCA & Altamont use wears better and fades less .....

Aha, an example of the Swrve spunkbubble effect.
Do you have a tendency to mumble when you speak?

Ok, probably not the best jeans for cycling but I was pretty shocked and quite disappointed that after as little as a couple of months and not much use on my bike, my 7 jeans started ripping in the groinal region. I blame the 2% lycra.
Although they were slightly ripped I decided to wear them out anyway...I got my saddle caught in the hole and pretty much ripped the jeans in half! Not go.

Tomorrow's apparently gonna be even worse. Following on from earlier, I'm definitely preferring the Swrve's over the Alpkit jeans. The latter have too high a waist to make them any good for cycling IMO. I reckon it would be bloody uncomfortable as they're pretty stiff and the waistline would be digging into my gut most of the time. The swrve jeans are also much more comfortable, they have a lighter, stretchier, less restrictive feel to them. You hardly notice they're on even! I think the photos of them on the UK site don't really do them justice. Here's some pics of both pairs if anyone's interested.
The alpkit ones will be going back for a refund. Nice pair of jeans, but just not comfy enough for biking me thinks.
Gonna be interesting to see how the Swrve's hold up in tomorrow's weather...
