How do these fit compared with regular slim jeans?

They are a slim, tapered cut with 2% elastane, so they hug the thigh and taper to the ankle. Size up if you are between sizes or have athletic legs.

Are the rips and fading removable?

No. The distressing is part of the finished garment, so the lived-in look is permanent.

Can these be worn to the office?

The rips and fading make them casual. They work for going out and weekends rather than a dress code.

How should I care for the stretch denim?

Wash cold and inside out, and air dry to protect the elastane and the fading.

What reviewers say

Owners of Balmain biker denim generally rate the construction and the ribbed knee detail highly, and describe the stretch denim as comfortable for a slim cut. Common complaints center on the very slim sizing and on the fixed distressing.

What people mention

FitMixedOwners say the slim tapered cut is comfortable thanks to the stretch but runs very narrow through the thigh.
Knee panelsPraisedThe ribbed knee paneling is the detail buyers single out as the reason to choose these over plain slim jeans.
DistressingMixedThe rips and fading are liked for the lived-in look but noted as permanent, which limits how dressy they can be worn.
PocketsMixedThe two zip pockets are seen as a signature touch but some find them bulky at the hip.
BuildPraisedBuyers point to the Italian make and sturdy denim as justifying the designer label.
