I've liked the Balmain jeans ever since I saw Travis Scott and A$AP Rocky wearing them; they have a 'Mad Max', distressed look that I think is very cool.Since then I wanted to grab some jeans, something different from the usual high street fare. Read a couple reviews of Everydesigner Balmains and thought I'd give them a try.

After a 5 day delay due to a mix up with the purchase verification email, the jeans were shipped out using DHL and I received them very quickly (5 days, UK delivery). The quality of the jeans is lovely; thick and stretchy with solid stitching and decent zippers/clasps. The finish on the jeans is ever so slightly waxed (like the authentic version of this particular pair) and it's done well, very understated. The 'ribbed' effect is also stitched well, and these areas of the jeans also give and stretch adequately when I'm walking/bending in them. My day to day size on jeans is a 32" so I just stuck to that size with these, and besides being slightly tight (not so much to be any discomfort though) these fit tts. My measurements are 5'11", 175 lbs.

I'm very satisfied with these jeans and I'll be buying a couple more pairs from Everydesigner in the near future (probably vintage wash and the olive ones). I'll also add that throughout the entire process, from the email mix up onward, the customer service were not just extremely helpful and concise, but also friendly and personable. They found me on whatsapp and kept me up to date constantly on the status/location of my order all the way up until it arrived at my local depot for delivery. They've even sorted me a pair of Balmains that I couldn't find on the site and given me a quick and simple way to pay without using the site. By far the most helpful customer service I've experienced (replica company or official retail).
