Price check
Our take
True Religion is an American denim brand recognized for its thick contrast stitching and signature horseshoe back pocket. The Ricky is one of its flagship straight fits. Reviewers associate the brand with bold, recognizable styling rather than understated basics. It sits at the upper end of mid-tier.

How True Religion jeans hold up overall
Hands-on testers report the current denim is genuinely well built: both a menswear and womenswear reviewer found the pieces "feel well constructed, and the denim feels high-quality," with the five-needle, two-stitch-per-inch Super T stitching and metal hardware called out as real quality markers rather than decoration. The biggest complaint is stretch behavior — one tester's stretch pair loosened so much through a day of wear that the seat went baggy, while the men's pair held its fit through multiple washes. Forum owners add that sizing does not follow one rule; it depends on the specific cut and wash. Value verdicts are mixed: construction gets praise, but one review concluded cheaper denim performs comparably.
- Strengths
- Sturdy-feeling denim with signature heavy stitching and quality hardware that testers found held up through repeated washing.
- Watch out for
- Stretch-blend pairs can bag out over a day of wear, and inseams come long (32"/34" only), so shorter buyers may need hemming.
- Sizing
- Waist tested true to size on some cuts, but owners say sizing "really depends on the style and the wash" — check per style rather than assuming one size.
