Thanks for the reply. I was mainly worrying about fabric composition from the perspective of just not wanting polyester/micro-plastic producing clothing in general. I generally look for non-poly options, but I do see the trend is technical fabrics that utilize manmade materials. Do you think the technical benefits of these fabrics are important enough to really prioritize?

One concern is have is that they seem like a really big/long cut in the sense that theyd take more intentional styling than a regular pair of jeans. Do you think thats the case or nah?

Ive seen a tad but it looked on the not-high-quality side, cheaper/not 100% cotton. I can look more if you recommend them. Any model in mind?
