Great concept, poor execution/quality, and horrible service
I have purchased over a dozen pair from this company, in a wide range of cuts and sizes because I am a wannabe body builder and my weight and size vary a lot over a bulking and cutting cycle. I am 6'5" and my weight has varied from 195 lbs to 238 and back to 195 over the period of time I have been wearing jeans from TPJ. My thighs and glutes changed more than my waist, so I have explored a lot of variations in sizing and cuts to find jeans that fit.
I recently was thinking about ordering another pair, hopefully something that would fit me better, and became a bit confused comparing jeans to their size chart. In the process I came to realize that one reason I have struggled to order pants that fit me well is that their quality control is really lacking. Cuts and size combinations of Jeans that should be larger in the hips were actually much smaller than others, and vice versa. In particular, I had a 32x36 that was much smaller than a 30x36. This especially sucks because, after I bought mislabeled jeans, I based decisions on what to order next on the incorrect fit of the mislabeled or mis-manufactured jeans I already had. If sizing and labeling are not consistent, this exercise quickly descends into chaos.
I wrote to them (after getting nowhere with the ridiculous AI chat "customer service") asking if there was a consistent error in the size chart, or a lot of variation in sizing from one manufacturing batch to another, or some other problem, so that I could figure out how to order. Foolish me.
I didn't ask them to send me a new pair of jeans, but that is what they offered to do. (instead of answering any of my questions about sizing and quality). But now we have descended through many email iterations of arcane corporate policy about what can be provided. Apparently they can only send me something that I won't be able to wear currently. Which is ridiculous, since if I had realized I wasn't getting what I ordered originally, I could have just exchanged it then for whatever I wanted.
They also have other quality and design issues. The zippers have been getting a lot worse in quality... I have a pair of athletic cut jeans purchased in 2025 that will NOT stay zipped up. And what's up with the waist sizes? The waist sizes are all just too big for what they are supposed to fit. It's not good enough to just tell people to size down: (1) the thigh to waist proportions are OFF; and (2) they don't stock tall jeans below a certain waist size, but a TPJ 30" waist easily fits a 35" waist, so effectively they don't have anything for lean guys who want their pants to stay up. If the thighs are tighter than the waist, the pant creeps down constantly over the day like a poor-fitting pair of athletic tights.
Update 2026: after I posted this review and shared it with them, they eventually sent me a new pair of jeans. The 32x36 slim thick I had bought a while back when I was bulking were mislabeled: probably they are 30x36. I currently--post cut--am wearing a 30x36 athletic jean that has a severe zipper quality issue, and they sent me a new 30x36 slim thick that's correctly labeled. The 30x36 slim thick fits my build like I think they intend a skinny fit to work for most people. The athletic fit is a good all-around casual fit for me, but I would probably do better with a 29x36 (their vanity sizing with the waist sizes is pretty extreme), but they don't make a 29x36 currently. Keep in mind I could wear a 30x36 athletic fit comfortably with a 36"+ actual waist measurement when I was bulking, so not having a 29x36 in their lineup means lean, tall athletic built men do not have many options.
