My curiosity got the best of me and I pulled the trigger on the AliExpress Big Boys. Here's my Initial review.
I purchased from a seller called "Drip-Dealer-Baggy-Jeans_Store". They had one of the lower prices and had the most 4-5 star reviews, it seemed like people for the most part were receiving jeans that matched what they ordered. I've never owned Big Boys before, but I'm a 34 waist in other Polar pants, so I went with the XL Light Blue. I ordered on May 28 and my total came to $24.50 after a first time buyer discount. I think shipping was like $3??
The seller actually shipped quickly, within a couple of days, but then nothing happened. They probably got handed to the postal service and then sat at a distro facility or airport for a week or two. They had "guaranteed" delivery by June 7th, which they missed and so I received a $1 discount code for my next purchase. Eventually they moved, they were handed off to the USPS and were delivered to me on Friday June 14th.





The quality is actually very good, but I was most surprised that it has ALL of the Polar tags. They're extremely similar to the tags I've received on my real Polar jeans. All the stitching is good, the Hems are nice, there's no dangling threads or unfinished hems. They even have a really nice Polar branded button on the front. It's possible that the denim is slightly thinner/slightly lower quality from real Big Boys, but I don't have a real pair to compare them to. However, the denim is definitely lighter/thinner than my Polar 92s.


The fit is good. They're a true 34" and feel good around the waist. They have good length too, so I can give them a small cuff at the bottom which I like. They're obviously very baggy and very roomy. The crotch is pretty low but that's just the Big Boy design.
I plan to skate in them soon, but I'm going to run them through the wash first. They don't have any funky or chemical scent that you sometimes get with Chinese goods, which is nice. I'll be interested to see how they hold up after a wash, but so far they're pretty legit.
Everyone an make their own decision about how they feel buying knock offs. I don't think I'm going to dip back in and become a Big Boy wearer, but I was definitely curious. The only other items I've ever bought from Chinese sites is Sports jerseys, which have usually been pretty good as well. I may post an update later on after skating and wearing them a bit.
