I’ve never had an old pair, but mine bought six months ago are pretty relaxed, but they still run small and long.
Usually wear a 32/32 but a 32/R was too tight and too long
A 34/S was just right
Yes. Love Kuiu, especially the Attack Pants. But biggest beef with Kuiu has always been their ever-changing cut and sizing. And, yes I’ve found them to trending toward “skinny jeans”. A bit ironic as most of the guys I know who can regularly afford and buy Kuiu aren’t 25-30 year old athletes. Also, it takes less of the high $ fabric (less cost) to make shrinking-slimmer cuts. My older Attack pants are a fuller cut.
