Not thick la. Same thickness as denims but better quality and more comfy than denims. You mentioned look like. But have u felt it before? Maybe just the cuffed area looks thick. But that is de trademark of Mercers..

Nobody give me a hand when i 1st bought them. I just tried my luck, i bought my own size for jeans, it was freaking loose. So i tried again with another size i went down 2 size down to try, and it was a perfect fit.

Nobody help me at all, i risk $500 SGD to try out the perfect fit.

It all depends on ur own legs, some people has big calves and thighs, thus when they go a size down, it's too tight on the calves and thigh but waist fits perfect. 26 will be too small cos ur legs will be very tight. 28 maybe ur best fit, but it may be tight, u have to risk it, at least get back ur tts so even it's bigger u can still wear it rather than not able to wear a $250 pants.

Oops. I thought i mention my size. i'm a true 34, but go for sz 36 jeans as my thighs and calves are slightly big. But when i get that size, it's way too loose, belt ardy maximum and still can put 2 hands inside.

So i went to 33, fits well.
