Rokker Iron Selvage Raw Jeans

I own the previous generation of these jeans and have loved those with a few caveats. This new iteration has solved ALL of my previous issues.

First and foremost, fit: I am a straight-up. 34 in everything (I can make a 32 work if the garment stretches), jeans, shorts, professional wear, everything. That is a 34 with no stretch, which means they button perfectly. As with the previous generation, I ordered one full size up at a 36x36. Now here is how you can decided which size to order. I could make a 34 in these work, because the denim will stretch. HOWEVER, I have above average thighs--not crazy muscular but definitely not skinny jean status. The 34's are WAY TOO TIGHT so I have gone with the 36 and will taper the waste if/when it goes down. You'll more than likely want the extra room around the thighs unless you're a skinny jean aficionado.

They are a little tight around the calves/ankles. If you wear big boots with a wide opening, these might not work to cover them--slightly tighter than the prior generation.

NEW DETAILS!!! Seriously, awesome. So awesome. They added pockets for hip and knee protectors. They don't stand out either, blend in perfectly. The hip protectors will add to the waist sizing--so factor that into your decision. I added mine since I am right under a 36 size in these jeans and it ended up making me an almost perfect 36 when first putting them on.

The knee protectors are a little funky at first to position correctly. Annoying but worth it once you get them placed correctly.

They have finally upgraded the denim! They added a 2% elastane so they stretch!!! WAYYYY more comfortable when moving around. Not as stretchy as some other designer jeans out there, but leaps and bounds above the previous generation which was 100% cotton, and would not stretch. Ugh...so not comfortable for tall people like me.

This is also a true Italian raw denim. When you open them up, you will notice the difference. I hate when designer jeans at Nordstrom or Bloomingdales "claim" raw denim and it's often bull. Look closely at the outside denim in the light and you'll see what I am talking about. This is TRUE RAW DENIM. AWESOME. It will fade so well for a custom look down the road.

All pockets are deeper, including the pocket watch pocket, which now fits a cigar cutter entirely. OH AND SURPRISE! NO MORE STUPID FLAME STITCHING. They added a leather detail around the waste. So much better! Oh, and not sure why they have their photo off, but the rear belt loop is actually 2 loops, not a single like in the photo.

Rokker no longer adds a pine box with these jeans, instead they come with a cotton, black, Rokker gym drawstring-like bag. Kinda more useful I suppose. Also, their new catalog is a poster on one side, and their catalog on the other.

Another commenter noted how they feel lighter and thinner than the previous generation. This is true. Not sure how they altered their tear-proof liner, but it definitely feel less obtrusive than the prior iteration. Thumbs up in my book!

I'm 6'6'', went with the 36 length. 34 is too short. They work great.

Hmmm...what else. They are very classy. Go great with a dress shirt and dress shoes if you'd like, but just as casual and awesome with a leather jacket and tank top (if you're going for a Wolverine look haha).

Can't recommend these enough, Seriously. Go for the raw and distress them yourself through natural wear. They are gorgeous jeans and will protect you so well. Not to mention you can wear these to the office. Seriously. Have already had multiple stares and compliments, friends asking where I got them and then are insanely shocked/impressed that they're motorcycle jeans and I make them feel my kneepads! Blows them away!!

SIDE NOTE***
Revzilla messed up my order and sent me two sets of hip protectors and didn't ship my knee pads. Called them up, and they took care of me insanely well. Not only did they refund my original shipping costs, they next-day-aired my knee pads so I'd have them ASAP. Their customer service is top notch, definitely buy from them!!!

Wow.

These are my second pair or Rokkers, I own the previous gen Rebel Stone Wash, and the improvements are immediately obvious. Finally a riding jean with all the style of a high end denim.

No more silly stitching on the pocket, this was my only complaint with the previous gen Rokkers, nothing about these jeans say anything but high quality, raw, simple yet sophisticated denim. I'd feel comfortable wearing these in NYC and LA--and the previous gen sat on the shelf in those environments. Which was seriously a bummer.

Immediately I noticed that the liner felt lighter and far less noticeable than the previous gen. Other details are a very clean leather tab on the back pocket and high quality stitching inside and out.

Honestly they are with every penny. In a prefect world they'd be half the msrp and I'd own 3 pairs.

Great in every way but that they run small.
