Review on Men'S Fitted Leather Pants - Xelement B7400 'Classic' Black 34 by Richard Rosa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice pants but not what I was after

These are really nice pants and appear very well made, though I wouldn't call them "fitted". My girlfriend wanted me to buy some fitted leather pants for club wear as she apparently likes my thighs. These pants seem more like motorcycle leathers and are thick and generally fairly loose fitting, so they weren't what I was looking for. I can't speak to the durability since I returned them, but they appear very well made and look heavy enough to provide road rash protection. I followed the sizing advice offered by reviewers and I have to say I don't agree with it. I generally wear a 32 pant (sometimes 33,. 34s are always loose). Frankly I think standard sizing is flattering because I just measured my "waist" both at the narrowest point and where I wear my pants closer to my hips. The actual circumference is 35" (My Girlfriend didn't believe this and came up with 36" when she measured!). I'm 5'9", 170# and wear a 32W 34L in Levis 501s. So, looking for a fitted pant, I would have ordered a 32 and instead ordered a 34 based on the advice here. These 34s fit exactly like I would expect a 34 to fit. That is 1-2 inches loose in the waist. Also, I have very athletic and fairly muscular thighs and these pants were quite generous in that area and not snug at all.So for someone who normally wears a 32 waist, the 34s are going to be loose. This might be exactly what you're looking for if you want to swing your leg over a bike or if you want to wear leggings or long johns underneath for a cold ride. Once again nice pants. And generous in length with a neatly sheared bottom. You will need to trim and/or hem these to length. You will need a leather sewing machine or tailor for that I would guess as the material is substantial. I'll update this review when and if my return is satisfactorily processed.

Pros
  • Quick delivery, nice pants, good fit, smooth transaction.
Cons
  • The pants may require tailoring or alterations to fit properly, adding to the overall cost
