Type 1 RELAXED STRAIGHT
Best suited body types: those who don’t miss leg days! Strong calves, sturdy thighs…you name it, we’ll fix it.
Straight and spacious cuts, perfect for mobility.
Example FULL COUNT 0105XX 15.5OZ XX LOOSE STRAIGHT
We know that pain when the leg’s too tight. The straight cuts are not quite so form-fitting as tight leggings (which don’t leave anything to the imagination), and this style actually makes legs look longer and straighter. Add in the subtle warp thread weavings and you’ll look like you’ve grown afoot.
Type 2: CLASSIC STRAIGHT
Best suited body types: the athletic man with a slim waist and muscular legs and buttocks.
Straight classic style, not too wide and not too narrow- just right.
Sample MOMOTARO JEANS 0901 ‘VINTAGE LABEL’ 15.7OZ CLASSIC STRAIGHT
Sample SAMURAI JEANS S0510XX 15OZ REGULAR STRAIGHT
Sample SAMURAI JEANS S510XX19OZ STRAIGHT SELVAGE DENIM
Sample TCB JEANS 50’S JEANS
To be honest, the classic straight fit is a classic precisely because it matches around 85% of men body types. If you’re not sure what to choose for any event or activity, opting for classic style is a surefire way to keep it safe. Especially for those with slim waists, this cut actually gives you a muscular look since the simple straight style automatically brings out curves and muscle lines.
Type 3: SEMI-STRAIGHT
Best suited body types: the average men — not too skinny and not too large.
A not-too-narrow style. An average cut between slim and regular.
Sample ETERNAL 811 14.5OZ MIDDLE STRAIGHT SELVAGE
Sample BURGUS PLUS 770-22 LOT.770 HIGH QUALITY STANDARD SELVEDGE DENIM (ONE WASHED)
This is the go-to for men who just want a simple pair of jeans. The semi-straight fit comes perfect for those that want a more modern look, with slimmer legs but not too form-fitting. This cut is perfect for more special occasions and can be worn smartly with some work shirts or sweatshirts.
Type 4: SLIM STRAIGHT
Best suited body types: slim or lean body
Straight narrow cut with a looser fit in the thigh.
Sample MOMOTARO JEANS 0201 ‘ VINTAGE LABEL ‘ 15.7OZ CLASSIC SLIM STRAIGHT
Sample TANUKI RCS1 16.5OZ RED CAST SLIM
Sample BURGUS PLUS 850-17 16OZ NATURAL INDIGO LOW TENSION DENIM NON ARC VERSION(ONE WASHED)
Skinny is an under-appreciated word for men. Those who are in the fashion business know that lean does not equal gangly, as do we! The slim straight fit, however, offers a solution to make your thighs more sturdy and muscular. With a not-so-tight fit for the upper leg, this cut will make you have legs that seem to go on forever, a perfect match for looser Ts and shirts.
Type 5: TIGHT STRAIGHT
Best suited body types: super tight thigh look, we’ve got you covered.
Straight narrow cut with a slightly tighter fit for the thigh.

Sample MOMOTARO JEANS 0701 ‘ VINTAGE LABEL’ 15.7OZ CLASSIC TIGHT STRAIGHT

Got that tight thigh look fever? Best known for rockers and Hollywood stars, the tight thigh look, of course, has its share in the fashion world, with a fan base that is mostly targeted at younger men or those in the show biz. This tight straight fit is best paired with layered garments and leather accessories to take its full potential up a notch. If you’re choosing denim by its feel on the skin, this cut is also perfect for you as it moves with your every movement.
Type 6 Slim tapered fit
Best suited body types: Thin/lean men who like to have more mobility.
Slim style with a tapered leg

With more people on the move nowadays, the range of denim is getting bigger. In the past, slim styles in jeans mostly focus on the super tight spectrum, with the cut extremely form-fitting in the calves area. However, for those who like to have more freedom of movement or larger calves, the slim style with tapered leg cut is a great choice.
Type 7: Relaxed tapered
Best suited body types
1) Men with large hips who require an equal leg width from hip to hem.
2) The plus-sized man who has a wide midsection as well as large thighs, buttocks, and calves.
3) Those who would like looser waists but tighter legs.
The most popular at the moment style Wide-cut in the thigh and tapered cut legs.

Sample JAPAN BLUE JB0601 14.8OZ US COTTON VINTAGE SELVEDGE HIGH TAPERED
Sample TANUKI NHT 16.5OZ «NATURAL INDIGO» HIGH TAPERED
The relaxed tapered cut is by far the most popular cut at the moment. Its popularity stems from the option of having looser waists but tighter leg sections, making the cut extremely comfortable but modern looking at the same time. This style is perfect for those who have bigger girths or those who look for looser but still trendy outfits.
