J.Crew 484 Slim-fit Stretch Jean review

J.Crew's 484 Slim-fit Stretch Jean is a dependable slim jean for men who wear denim with blazers and button-downs. J.Crew says it sits below the waist and is slim through the hip and thigh with a narrow leg, and it publishes the measurements: a 10 1/4 inch front rise and a 14 inch leg opening on a size 32/32. The medium wash uses 94% cotton, 5% elastane and 1% Lycra spandex, and J.Crew notes that indigo dyed versions can transfer color until they are worn in. The 484 comes in many washes, including a Japanese stretch selvedge version. The medium wash page shows a 4.5 rating from 122 reviews, and J.Crew says reviewers find it true to size. We could not verify a USD price because J.Crew showed only zloty prices from our location, and the medium wash showed as sold out for us, so check jcrew.com for current US stock and price.
