I really wish more people knew about Fran Denim. This is the only pair of jeans I’ve ever found that is truly athletic fit. They fit my waist perfectly and have room throughout the jeans, while also shaping around the musculature of my lower body. Love these.
I wouldn’t say that I’m super muscular in terms of bulk – I’m 170 pounds at 5’10” around 12% - 15% body fat - so I’m kind of surprised that when I find an athletic fit jeans, they don’t fit me the way they should. Most jeans are super tight around my thighs, but then they have one to 2 inches of space between my waist and the jeans. There’s this annoying gap there that frustrates me and eventually I get rid of that pair of pants.
Fran has been the exception – these jeans actually have some room in the thighs and glutes, and they fit snuggly around my waist. I’ve spoken with the owner and learned about how he sources and manufacturers the jeans and this is also very impressive. He’s doing it better than the bigger brands, and actually making jeans for athletic fitting people.
Huge fan of Fran – and I hope that everyone who lift weights starts using them more.
