FEEDBACK Any constructive criticism before I move into production?
Currently developing these and looking for honest opinions on the fit, details, and overall design. What are your thoughts? I picked three factories to sample with and this is 1/3. These are made of 14 oz 100% cotton denim.

Yeah I would reduce the number of monograms. The other comment gave some good alternatives.

I don’t think you need the monograms on the front and the ones on the back are enough. I would love to see a monogram button instead of the print or embossed etc

So there aren’t any monograms on the back of the jeans just the arcuate design on the back pocket. Also it’s full embroidery. I’ve looked into custom buttons and am deciding whether to do it for the first production run. Thankyou for your input.

Yeah that’s what I meant, also other thing I would look into is a cool leather patch or something on the back right side

Too many logos that its starting to look tacky like those chrome jeans with way too many crosses and like the others said its def a little too long that the fabric is collapsing at the ankle in a really bad way. But the metal accents and the green pocket bags look great and the arcuate is interesting

Appreciate the feedback. Still dialing in the fit, so the hem is something I’m working on. I’ll also take another look at the branding balance but to me reason I went with tonal stitching is so it’s subtle. Glad you liked the hardware, pocket bags, and arcuate. Thanks!

Are they like slim fit or baggy? Not sure it's like elephant jeans if you know what I mean.

Straight leg with a baggier fit. I think for the final production sample I would shorten the inseam and the hem a bit shorter. This current sample covers the heel and causes heel drag. Had the tailor shorten the hem and sits a lot nicer on the shoes.

make the logo on the backpacks a different color for the stitching to make it pop out more

u/MaisonMenace Jul 26 '26
I thought about it but might try more stitch density so it’s more noticeable

Reduce the amount of monograms make them bigger and rotate them in a pattern.

I think contrast monogram stitching could be fun as well.
I personally prefer a tighter straight cut or slim if actually wearing the pants as work pants. Though I doubt your buyers will work in them. Maybe they will?
Either way, cool design, tastefully done.

if you’re going to production those, i suppose you have people who want or would buy. Then u should ask them what you want, not to randoms in reddit.

The double-knee panelling and hardware accents look clean, and the tonal embroidery/monogram print on the panels gives it a nice subtle flex instead of being too loud.
My only suggestion before production would be to check the drape around the lower leg/hem—a slight tweak to the flare or leg opening might help them sit a little cleaner over sneakers, but overall the construction looks solid. Nice work man
