Tall Paul's Take on the J1 Straight Leg Jeans
I have never tried on a pair of straight-leg jeans before. I’ve never been confident I could pull them off. I never felt comfortable on the rest of my fit to compliment the straight legs that came past the top of my shoes.
Trying on these jeans for the first time with a pair of 550 New Balance shoes and an Everyday Regular Fit White T-shirt showed me what I had missed.
These jeans are made for us tall guys. If you are thick, thin, muscular or anything in the middle, these jeans will work for you when you put together the right fit.
My dimensions are:
Height: 6’7 / 200cm
Weight: 220lbs / 100kg
Jeans size: 36×36

How to Take Care of Your J1 Straight Leg Jeans
American Tall’s fabric and care section say that the J1 Straight Leg Jeans should be machine-washed cold with like colours and put into the dryer using the tumble dry low.
These washing and drying guidelines seem like sound advice to me; however, being a giant my whole life, I am wary of using the drying machine on new pieces of clothing.
I advise you to wash your J1 Straight Leg Jeans inside out in cold water with like-coloured garments. Then hang them up to dry.

My Care Tips for J1 Straight Leg Jeans
When it comes to drying, using tumble dry low is your safest play if you choose to use the dryer.
Instead of drying your joggers in the drying machine, you can dry your clothes using fresh air and sunlight.
How to Style Your J1 Straight Leg Jeans
When styling the J1 Straight Leg Jean, you will want to make sure the clothes you compliment are wide and sometimes even baggy, just like the straight-leg look.
Secondly, the shoe style should work with the more oversized jean cuff that sits lower on your ankles than other jeans. It is best to wear big, chunky shoes with these pants.
