Rock Revival Rayne Straight Jeans vs Rock Revival Arther J217R Straight in Black on Red

Both are Rock Revival straight jeans, so the real choice is wash and finish. The Rayne is the safer pick: a dark wash, listed stretch denim, and a stated fit (regular through the thigh, sits at the waist). The Arther's black-on-red look is bolder, but its listing gives no fabric, fit or hardware detail. Owners rate the Rayne highly, though on a small number of reviews. Buy the Rayne for an everyday dark jean; buy the Arther if you want the black wash with red accents.

• Choose the Rayne Straight if you want a dark-wash straight jean with stretch, pewter hardware and a fit the brand actually spells out.
• Choose the Arther J217R if you want a black straight jean with red Rock Revival detailing and don't need stretch or fit details confirmed.
