Soojun Mens Casual Loose Fit Elastic Waist Jeans Denim Pants

This opinion is for everyone who can glean information from it. But I am especially addressing those with a medical challenge like an ostomy at the waist where pants to wear above the wound are out of the question and pants to wear below the wound are particularly difficult to find. I am 76 and have worn jeans my whole life except for a couple of decades in business casual haggars. Now I live alone, with my dog, in a small apartment in a town where jeans are standard. And I can't or won't tuck in my shirt. So I look like most everyone else out shopping or walking.THE SEARCHFirst Stage: Upon coming home from surgery and for a few months I wore my usual Wrangler Regular Fit jeans and placed the waist as low as I could which was just at the bottom edge of the medical appliance. There I had to cinch the belt so tight to keep my jeans up the belt actually was very uncomfortable and actually caused premature appliance failure.Second Stage: Increased pants from 32x30 to 34x30 and ditched the belt. Used a great devise from Hikers Co which is a suspender worn under the shirt which hooks with a single connection at the front jeans button and has adjustable length and hooks under the belt loop on the back. Check it out at Hikers. It worked really well. My search continued because I didn't like the uncomfortable chaffing on my shoulders. I got partial relief by cutting the bottom off a tee shirt and wearing it under the suspender then a regular shirt to cover everything as usual. That is still an option I'll hold on to as a backup.Stage Three: I've tried a few elastic waist solutions in the past months. I tried Scrubs. If you're a jeans wearer scrubs just won't cut it. The feel, the look, no, won't do. And there's no staying up if you put your regulars keys, wallet, and you hands in you pockets. I'll spare the rest of the trials which failed to thrill me and get to these pants. I researched many, many hours. And for these I read all the questions and answers and the 1500 reviews, more than once. Despite the negative reviews I settled on these and received them today. I haven't washed them yet. I don't know if they are going to turn into a disappointment. But I'm wearing them now. Have had them on a couple of hours. I can sit, stand, walk the dog, bend over, put my hand in my pockets like a normal person, and haven't had to pull them up once. They feel good. The material is a little bit stretchy. They look good on me. I like them so far. One qualifier, the elastic waist is wide and fits well, 32x30, but without a belt they were susceptible to slipping down some when force applied so I put on my belt, not tightly but regularly, and all's well.After I've worn these two jeans and washed them I will give an update.UPDATE 11/24/2021My washer only has cold water hooked up. After washing one pair and drying all the way the waist felt unchanged and the length appears to have shrunk a bit. Less than an inch. I suspect over the next few drying cycles the overall shrinkage with settle at about an inch or slightly less. But one really can't predict how off-shore products will behave. I think I need a sewing machine.Also, as many reviewers mentioned, the zipper is very difficult to operate. Once down the opening is pretty small making access difficult. Since the waist is continuous elastic the only option is to lower the pants which is pretty easy. At my age and frequently feeling a bit of urgency as I approach the bathroom, lowering the pants is more expeditious when at home.UPDATE 8/24/2024I still have the same pants I reviewed here. They're a bit faded now but are still the same fit and comfort as originally described. I have five pair now. Two of them I haven't started wearing yet. Keeping as backup.FINAL UPDATE 5/21/2025All I've said above is still true. Still wearing the five pair in regular rotation. I wear them multiple days so each pair gets washed about once per month but they are fading but still fit well and no rips or tears. With age the do get easier to pull up. Loosen a bit but very comfortable. Good luck to all.

Size is true. Weight of denim just what we wanted. We'll order more of the same

Nice soft denim material

My guy is difficult to dress these with elastic waist and suspenders are great fitting

Easy to put on. Comfortable fabric. Wears well.

Made like sweat pants. Does not unfasten at front of waistband. I can deal with this, but don't especially like it.

Felt that’s the quality was very good. My husbands jeans were size 36 so I purchase 38 waist because a review stated the waist was tight. He probably would have been ok with a 36 or a 37 if there was such a size. Keeping the jeans and he will wear suspenders . Wish they came in 26” lenghth.

These pants work very well with seniors.
