REV'IT! Brentwood Slim Fit Jeans

We measured a sampling of these jeans of different waist sizes and lengths and find they are much like other jeans you’d buy these days. They are just a bit “vanity” sized in the waist and pretty true in the length. Across the size run, the actual measured waist was about 2” larger than the stated waist size (typical vanity sizing). So my primary advice would be to buy the waist size you normally wear in jeans; you’ll likely find a fit.

If you aren’t sure whether your jeans are vanity sized like I’m describing, then either measure your waist where your normal jeans ride or measure your favorite pair of jeans to verify. You’ll probably find that you measure out a bit bigger than your normal jeans size and also the waist of your favorite jeans measures out an inch or two bigger than their stated size. If so, you will be on track following my advice. The denim used in these pants has a good deal of stretch to them, so if you are sometimes between sizes, I’d advise you to buy the smaller.

The inseam lengths measured out about right as compared to the stated size. These are slim fit jean and a standard feature here is that REVIT adds a strip of reflective piping on the inside seam of the jeans with the idea that you’ll roll up the ends and the reflective strip will show. If you like the look of rolling up the ends of the jeans, then buy one size longer than you normally would.

Brentwood jeans by REVIT are styled with a slim leg and without moto specific styling queues so you can wear this style off or on the bike and be very comfortable. Armor is included in the knee as standard. Hip armor is optional.

Of all the REVIT jeans I’ve tried, the Brentwood offers the slimmest leg cut. They have a fit similar to the Moto jeans, but with a plain leg and a slightly more tapered leg. The seat and thigh area is comparable to the rest of the current jean models like the Moto, Austin, and Seattle which have a reasonably roomy seat and thigh. The Brentwood has some factory distressing in the knee area to make the jeans look worn. I’m guessing they use the word “used” in the color choices because the Dutch word for distressed translates to “used”. Anyway…

The ends of the legs are tapered like a slim fit jean. They work tucked into a boot or they’ll work with lace ups or riding shoes, but with the trim size at the end of the leg, they might not go over a bulky boot top. Just to give you an idea, the size 34 waist jean measures 6 1/2” across when laid flat. You can compare that figure to measurements from some jeans you have to judge how well they’d work over your boots. Even though these jeans measure out the same as the Moto at the end of the leg, the Brentwood felt slimmer in the thigh and knee than the Moto.

The fabric used in these pants is cotton with infused Cordura and Elastane. The Cordura adds abrasion resistance so they’ll hold together longer than plain cotton, and the Elastane adds some stretch to the fabric. In addition to the Cordura in the denim, these pants have an extra fabric layer in the seat and knees. That extra layer is an abrasion resistant liner and finally, there is a comfort layer of thin cotton over the liner material to keep them comfortable against your skin.

These jeans include armor in the knees already. It is a VERY flexible type armor and will fit your knee well without alignment being an issue. Similar armor is available for the hips (take the link below to order). I really like REVIT’s armor for jeans. The thickness and flex is ideal for jeans.

I think the Brentwood jeans are a winner. They have a nice look for those that like a slim fit leg, but they have room enough in the seat to be comfortable sitting on a bike. The distressing in the color of the denim looks nice also. These jeans could easily pass as regular fashion jeans off the bike. :: Paul, 04-11-19

REVIT says: The REV’IT! denim collection expands with the introduction of the Brentwood Slim Fit (SF) jeans. Thanks to the four-way stretch Cordura® denim used in these jeans, a slim fit is made possible without creating any discomfort when riding. The unique weave of the extremely abrasion-resistant material optimizes the balance between comfort and protection. And when it comes to protection, SEESMART™ CE-level 1 knee protectors come standard while you can upgrade your jeans with a pair of our SEESMART™ CE-level 1 hip protectors.
