Most jeans need work before they actually fit. The hem is two inches too long, the thigh is cut for someone built differently, and you end up spending an extra twenty quid at the tailor just to make a forty quid pair of jeans wearable. It gets old. The straight fit cuts we’ve pulled together here are the ones that arrive ready to wear, proportioned properly for real men rather than a fit model who hasn’t eaten since Tuesday. We’ve been looking specifically at rises that sit where they should, leg openings that work with both a trainer and a clean leather shoe, and lengths that land right off the shelf for most builds. Dark indigo, washed mid blue, off white and a few in between. These aren’t fashion jeans trying to make a statement. They’re the ones you reach for three times a week without thinking about it, and that’s exactly the point.
