4.0 out of 5 stars
Good jeans for the price, January 31, 2005
This review is from: 2(x)ist Men's So Low Jean, Dubliner (Apparel)
I was a little skeptical of ordering jeans online, and them fitting correctly, but was pleasantly surprised with these (and also purchased the Hero design). First off, the jeans are not very heavy. There were 2 pairs of jeans in the box and it really felt like there was only one pair. Normally I wear a waist in the 32-34 range, and the 33's fit like I had expected. I would say to perhaps order one size up if possible. I really like the design of the Dubliner's with a lighter blue at the top, going to a dark blue at the bottom. The reason I'm giving this a 4 out of 5 is that I wish they would have had a 34 waist at the time I ordered, because I think it would have been a bit more comfortable, but I am still very pleased with the 33 waist.

Incredible jeans., June 15, 2005
This review is from: 2(x)ist Men's So Low Jean, Dubliner (Apparel)
I had to respond to most of the other reviewers of 2(x)ist jeans, because I love them and think the sale price is the steal of the century. These are LINEN JEANS. They are thinner than Levi 501's or regular thick jeans. They're meant to be, and are great for warm weather or any time you're not mining gold. These also have a low rise, like the name "So Low Jeans" would suggest, even though the rise isn't as low as some other jeans. The waist size seems fine to me. Based on previous reviews, I bought a size up but that was bad advice. If anything, I'd recommend rounding down if you're borderline between sizes. I normally wear between 29 and 30 waist and I bought 31 based on the recommendations; the 29 fits me perfectly. I know stores like Wal-Mart or Target often cut their clothes VERY large, so if you're used to those sizes then adjust accordingly. I think these jeans are great and have no major complaints. The wash is inconsistent though; I bought two pairs of "Banger" jeans to make up for the waist sizing error and the washes looked almost completely different. They both look good, though. I'm guessing they are test marketing these jeans on Amazon (because I can't find any info on them anywhere else, including 2xist's own web site) so they might be tinkering with the formula a little bit. Highly recommended to the slim and hip (or wannabe hip like me)

You call these jeans??, May 21, 2005
This review is from: 2(x)ist Men's So Low Jean, Dubliner (Apparel)
I'd like make one point before reviewing these "jeans". They are LOW RISE jeans, meant to be worn on the HIPS. When you order, order your HIP SIZE, not your waist, otherwise you may be dissapointed to find that they do not fit you, or are one size too tight. Okay, I ordered this with high expectations, considering it's from one of the leading designers for male underwear, but these jeans are a letdown compared to other products manufactured my 2(x)ist. Just as a poin of reference, I purchased this pair and the Banger style, from the same brand, same size. That last point is very important as the Dubliner seems to be an inch more loose and with an extra inch on the inseam, which is quite annoying. The Banger pair fits like a charm. There are quite a few cons I'd like to point out though. One, the fabric is rather thin, and I was surprised to find the tag noting that it is 100% cotton. They feel (and smell, even) more like polyester, as hard as that is to believe. Two... They are rather soft for jeans, but they just don't have the feel or texture you would expect from denim. I'm not exactly satisfied with these jeans, not considering the difference in fit compared to the Banger pair. The wash itself looks alright, but the front has very many light specks which LOOK like pulled threads, which is a bad thing, although they just seem to be part of the style. As I wrote in my other review, I would call these faux jeans as opposed to authentic denim. The actual stitch seems rahter cheap as well. Aside from that, I would say 19.99 is a just price for the product, but it is definitely not worth the 128 retail. Why they even put that on the tag to begin with is beyond me. Concerning the durability... they DO seem built to last, though I have to admit, they can't possibly be as durable as higher grade denims.
