Truthfully, I don't like wearing "jeans". They are typically not comfortable and have no "give" where necessary. These are both of those and they are comfy!

Looove these jeans!
3rd pair I’ve owned. Great fit. Great lil extra pocket on the side. Stylin’ - on my bike in da city!

Fit is a bit tighter than I was hoping for.
But my big complaint is the phone pocket. Who decided right where you sit was a good idea?? I have a previous version of these pants and the pocket placement on the thigh is better, although too small for modern phones (and I have the smallest smart phone I could get). The fit is hard to judge because I usually go up one size to better fit over padded shorts when I ride at bike parks.
Debating on sending these back... the phone pocket location is extremely annoying.

Quality and fit unmatched!

I have several pair of the older cog jeans which I think are good but not great. I decided to try out the new Spoke denim and I’m glad I did. They are significantly better than the Cog jeans. The material is more robust but still has plenty of stretch. The articulation around the knee works great making them just as comfortable whether riding around on errands or hanging out. I find the zippered side pocket better for a wallet than a cell phone since retrieving the phone from that pocket is slightly awkward. Overall I'm very happy with these jeans. I even ordered 2 more pair.
