I just got these and I'm super impressed. It's exactly what I was hoping for, a heavy alternative to denim. I'll post some fit pics after they settle. I got a waist 34, hemmed to 32.5.
These pants are seriously heavy. After wearing these, my vulcans feel like Levi's. I also did a scratch test on a scrap, but it would really fade. It got super shiny. I have a feeling these will soften up ridiculously by next winter.
