Vertx Men's Defiance Jeans

Looks sexy on my husband. Lol he says they're high quality and likes the pockets.

I love these pants.. i would like to mention I’m not skinny I’m a 220 lbs body builder with with big legs and butt and I have been wearing these everyday here in Baghdad for the last 7 months… I have been wanting another pair but the color isn’t available in my size.. the stretch in these pants is amazing I workout every night while on shift in my pants, i feel like I have the biggest advantage on my team bc my pants won’t hinder me in anyway when we do combat missions.. I can squat, bend, stretch, climb with the greatest of ease.. and they help keep my legs cooled down in this 120 degree temperature..

These jeans are very comfortable. Along with my Alien Gear IWB holster, I can carry at the 3 o'clock position comfortably. My phone, a Samsung A54 5G fits nicely in either of the extra hip pockets with room to spare and I can put my reading glasses in the other with enough room that I don't sit on either. The acid test will be to see how long they last, hopefully longer than the Levi's they are replacing.

I’ve worn Levi’s denim for decades. All sorts of styles: 501, 505, 569, 541, 511, et cetera, et cetera. I didn’t have any problems with Levi’s. Until I got older and I started needing a little more room in the crotchetal area for comfort reasons. Unfortunately, Levi’s doesn’t make any reasonably priced jeans that have what I want, so I started looking at other makers.I stumbled on these by accident and took a shot when they were a little less than retail price. Generally I stay away from fabrics that are cotton and synthetics blends, but I saw that the crotch was gusseted and that the knees had articulation darts, so I tried them out. In terms of flexibility, so much better than any pants I’ve ever worn. They stretch, they bend, they don’t pinch *the wrong places*. As light duty workwear, they’re great. All the extra pockets are a nice bonus, too. The rise isn’t a true high rise, but they feel like a high rise because of the cut and the gussets. I will also begrudgingly admit that the synthetic fibers make them more breathable even though the fabric is about the same weight as a mid-weight Levi’s denim.For sizing, I ordered my usual 32x32. Brand new, they fit about the same as a pair of Levi’s, perhaps a little large in the waist but not baggy. Length was good as well. As with all garments, the copies you get may fit differently because of the piece of fabric or the person who was sewing on that particular day. They will shrink mildly in the dryer.I don’t know that I would use these as heavy-duty jeans, but for light work in a factory or outdoors these would be fine. Now, the only reason these are not five stars is the dye. I have both the indigo rinse and the ultra black color. On the indigo rinse there was a tag that very clearly said that the fabric dye would transfer onto light colored fabrics. I did not believe that tag. I was wrong. I’ve washed these things a dozen times, the fabric edges are fading, and the dye will still transfer onto light colored fabrics. Don’t sit on anything white, tan, or gray unless you want some nice blue streaks on it. I didn’t see a similar tag on the ultra black, and so far they do not seem to have the same challenge.As long as Vertx doesn’t change these jeans, I will buy them for work again. I’ll probably try one of the other colors next time to see if other dyes will transfer. If they don’t, I’ll probably make them my casual pants as well.

These are the only jeans I buy now after wearing Wranglers, Levis, Lucky, 5.11, and probably some others. They have enough room in the crotch and thighs, which seems to be hard to find even as a skinnier guy. The extra side pockets are great for your wallet so that you're not sitting on it all day. They also fit a spare mag nicely if you are so inclined.

I really like the material and feel of the Vertx Defiance jeans. They are relax fit and very similar to the 5.11 Defender Flex jeans.I use these for my IWC. For me, the gusset crotch make the Vertx jeans the better jeans. The craftsmanship and quality checking is a bit lax, but I find that common with a lot of Vertx pants.

Not consistent fit on a pair of tan colored I bought. I had to return them as there was not much room in the legs. Overly slim fit. That said, I really like Vertx and own several pairs of the Dark Stone Wash blue jeans and enjoy the fit and mobility. I do not know if this the tan pair I bought was just a fluke or if they are supposed to fit differently than the blue jeans. On a side note... Vertx needs to do a much better job stocking vendors or vendors need to work harder at stocking deep in popular sizes. I tried to purchase from many vendors over several weeks and finally got lucky when Amazon had the right size.

These are comfortable and extremely functional. Everything about them is as advertised. These instantly became my new favorite jeans.My only complaint is I'm a funny build, so these don't come in the length I need. They are exactly as advertised, and I knew I would need to have these hemmed when I bought them though.Great pants highly recommend them!
