I'm only 2 months in and have 4 pairs. So take this as you will. And I'm a kinda tall skinny dude for reference and prefer stretch styles.
My stretch skinny Evisu #2023 are my favorite pair. Only seagull print on the back pockets as most of their jean styles are too loud for me. And they are super spot on when it comes to measurements. Almost too spot on for raw. I shoulda almost sized up on the waist one size especially since they'll shrink once they hit water. Im a tad heavy from winter laziness so this likely won't be a problem.
My stretch Oni 122s are almost the opposite though fit wise. Everywhere fits great. Seat, thighs, calfs. It's a slim fit not a skinny though. But the waistband for some reason is slightly lose on fit. Nothing a belt cant fix and probably will be nice and in the pocket when I finally wash them.
I have a pair of N&F and Kato as well. The N&F was a bit of a bummer but not bad by any means. Just nothing overly special as they're the only black stretch jeans I could find that were slim/skinny and actually selvedge. The Kato are great all around, quality, fit etc. But the 10.5 oz denim feels lacking. Almost makes the denim feel kinda rough-ish being light weight. Wish they made a black and/or my light blue raw in a 14oz. I'll see how it feels heat wise in the summer though being so light. If it still doesnt hit right i may have it hemmed into like a cropped/capri style. Although they're both alright but the Evisu and Oni have this almost "soul" for lack of a better term when you're wearing them. Seemingly a better weave/superior feel.
Ive been wanting a pair of black momotaro black GTB so bad but its hard to go back to non stretch after like 8+ years. I feel like they'll possible tear crotch wise, on top of squeezing the shit out of jewels with a slim and/or skinny like what looms decent on my skinny self.
Been also really interested in some Samurai's, Iron Heart's, and some neppy PBJs, but again, no stretch yet ;( Even 1% stretch like my Evisu makes a huge difference in comfort. And the 4% stretch in the Kato is almosy too ridiculous, almost like (yoga pant?? Or tight sweatpants) Id imagine anyways.
