Picked up a couple pairs of the hardwork carpenter denim pants from Obey the last time they had their surplus sale for $22 a pair, been pretty much exclusively skating them since and they've been holding up great! Nice loose fit at the hips and thighs with a little taper at the ankles.
I had the complete opposite experience, fit was all over the place, had to break them in for a solid year and many washes, the material felt very weak and tore through rapidly with moderate skating… I’ve worn them for 2 years now and I had fun repairing it with fun patches, the fit is great now, and I skate them a lot, but I’m still sour I paid 55€ for them and had to break them in for so long… I’m just not a fan of Obeys egregious sizing as a whole, their clothes run so big
