Curtis: Sport Jeans (www.sportjeans.com) have been mentioned briefly in a few other threads. Well I decided to try them. Here is a summary of my experience with them so far.
1) The price is $58.00. Sounds high, I know, for a pair of jeans, though these are made with a little more "engineering" than your standard issue pants. The refreshing part: It's $58.00 period. No outrageous shipping & handling fees like you get from many other web-based retailers.
2) The sizes run a bit small. I ordered a 34x34, knowing they would shrink a bit, since the 34x34 jeans I own from other manufacturers are a bit loose on me. Well I tried them on and could barely get them buttoned, even before washing! The web site says "All sales final. No refunds. No exchanges." Well I sent the dude an e-mail anyway, and he agreed to send me a larger pair. He told me not to return the others, since he can't sell them as new once they have been worn. He made me promise to find someone else to wear them "for the advertising." Makes me wonder how Land's End and other clothing retailers deal with this. I know they have pretty liberal return policies.
3) They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn, hands down. They are the first pair of pants I've ever seen that seem to be made by people who understand that a man's genitals are external. The front pouch is well-designed and provides adequate room for sensitive parts, even while sitting. I absolutely love wearing them! Other jeans, even "relaxed fit" styles, have that darn center seam that wants to cut my genitals in half every time I sit down.
4) Button fly, no zipper. Makes a trip to the urinal a bit of a pain. I would much prefer a zipper.
5) They are different-looking, and they will get noticed. The bulge created by the pouch is quite a sight when you're seated. Last night, while sitting on a stool playing cards, I noticed the two women in the card game giggling. One of them later asked if I had something stuffed in my pants! In the ensuing conversation, I mentioned the jeans and she said they look like they were specially made for well-hung men.
6) Long term durability? Too soon to tell, but the buttons are suspect. There are suspender buttons on the inside of the waistband which most of us would never use, so at least I have a few spares if I loose one.
The bottom line: If you find regular jeans uncomfortable, don't mind wearing pants with visible pouch, and can afford the $58.00, then you should give them a try. Buy them an inch or two bigger than your other jeans, both waist and length.
