The verdict
Fit
Tagged as men's; the Nemir cut appears to be a standard five-pocket. Expect a modern fit without the vintage break-in harshness of Japanese selvedge.
Quality
Officine Générale is a Paris-based atelier with solid reputation for everyday construction. At 165 EUR, expect decent denim with workmanlike finishing.
Is the price fair?
Fair pricing for European-made basics. 165 EUR is mid-range for French production; reasonable if you value transparent origin over heritage selvedge.
Best for
Shoppers wanting French-made everyday denim without the fade-obsessive aesthetic or break-in curves.
Care
Standard cotton denim care: warm water wash, hang dry to reduce shrinkage.
What owners report about Officine Générale jeans
Third-party commentary on the jeans specifically is sparse; most owner reports cover the brand's clothing as a whole. Owners report that fabric is the strong point while construction is where the brand cuts costs, and one owner had a top button pop off a pair of the brand's pants after a couple dozen wears. Several buyers say the price-to-quality ratio is acceptable at retail but recommend buying at 50-60% off, where they consider it clearly worth it.
- Strengths
- Owners repeatedly single out the fabrics as genuinely good for the price bracket.
- Watch out for
- Construction and hardware are the reported weak point — buttons and finishing fail before the cloth does — and several owners say full retail is not the price to pay.
- Sizing
- Owners report the brand generally runs slim and slightly small; a fit guide calls the trousers true to size at the waist but fitted through the thigh, so buyers with bigger thighs should consider sizing up.
