The verdict
Fit
P018 is Purple Brand's secondary men's silhouette, typically slimmer than P011. The side zip is a design element that affects how the jean closes.
Quality
At $166, the coated finish and side-zip hardware are the main investments. Durability of the coating is moderate; seaming should be solid.
Is the price fair?
Priced at the upper-mid range for a novelty feature (the side zip). Justifies the cost only if that detail excites you.
Best for
Men seeking a standout zipper detail and coated denim aesthetic for fashion-forward dressing.
Care
The zipper requires gentle cleaning to avoid corrosion. Wash inside-out; the coating may crack with aggressive drying.
What owners report about Purple Brand jeans
Independent written coverage of this line is thin; most owner feedback lives in video try-ons and retailer review sections. A written review of the workwear range reports substantial, non-stretch cotton construction with reinforced stitching and says quality seems to be improving as the brand scales, at a retail price around 320 dollars with frequent discounting. Retailer customer fit ratings on the slim styles are split between true to size and running big.
- Strengths
- Reviewers who have tried the line report solid construction, substantial-feeling fabric, and distinctive washes and finish details.
- Watch out for
- There is little in-depth written or long-term durability reporting for a line at this price, and fit feedback varies noticeably from one cut to another.
- Sizing
- Fit reports are mixed by style — the workwear reviewer took his usual size while retailer customers rate some slim styles anywhere from true to size to running big — so check the measurements for the specific cut.
