## Description

5.11 Tactical Men's Defender-Flex Slim Jeans, Fitted Waistband, 7 Pockets, Style 74465, Basic Blue

Review: Great Quality For Dress Clothes; Great For Tactical Training Courses - If you are looking to dress professionally for a PSD/EP/Covert Protection job, this color and these pants will go perfect with the docker's style. The classic button-down dress shirt, blazer, and dress shoes allow these pants to work for formal business settings, and they also work well with a t-shirt for day-to-day. They are very flexible, and the pockets stay slim when fitting tools. They fit fairly accurate to description; however, if you plan to use these in a professional setting get them tailored. If you get them tailored, wash and airdry rather than machine dry so they retain their color. The two AR magazine pockets enable 2 AR pistol/SBR mags to be hidden behind a blazer, allowing for a three mag storage if a carbine is stored in a vehicle. As for waist size, the pants are flexible enough to conceal carry a Glock 19 without going up a size, but I would recommend going up a size in case of concealing an extra inside belt instead out outside belt pistol magazines and a TQ. With these pants, they will keep a modern phone fitting sleek, but a wallet prints a bit much so I would consider a sleek wallet if trying to look professional in them. They are worth the price, yet I would recommend waiting to buy several when they are on holiday sales for $68 a pair rather than the $80 price tag they typically go for, and that is because it costs about $15-17 to get a pair tailored to custom fit. They also do not grab when running or exiting a vehicle, so they are good for exercise if necessary, and they are good for quick movements. As for matching colors, a charcoal gray works best as a matching blazer/suit jacket, I would recommend checking out express; if looking for cheaper go to men's Wearhouse and that will do.
Review: Best jeans ever.... - Love these! Ok they are expensive but: 1) Fit well 2) Super Durable, my oldest pair at 2 years old are still looking about as good as the day I go them. Only retiring pairs because I've been losing weight lately and shrinking waistlines (not their fault of course) holds my Conceal Carry belt and holster quite well. 3) Loads of pockets! Plenty of cargo room 4) Classy look for jeans 5) Super Comfy! So yeah I'm a big fan now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How deep are the front pockets. Are they good for pocket carry?**
A: I wore my pair of these jeans yesterday and checked on this, and , no, these jeans would NOT be good for packet carry, in my opinion. I think the pockets are not deep enough. They do have the extra magazine pockets in the back, however, but you'll need a waistband holster.

**Q: what size are the belt loops? trying to find a jean that will fit a 2 inch inner belt**
A: Depending on your type of buckle, I easily got a 2.25 inch duty belt through all of the belt loops. I have the Defender flex slim jeans.

**Q: What size are the belt loops? I want to fit a 2 inch belt**
A: Will be pretty tight, but should fit. My 1.75" fits easily. I just measured, 5.2 cm = 2.04" is the max size. Thickness of the belt might be a criteria, if it has many applications it could get really tight.

**Q: Normally wear a 31 should i go up so i can iwb my glock or are they a little loose ?**
A: They are not loose, the fit is on point. They do stretch though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite Jeans
*by T***A on February 3, 2025*

It’s really hard to write a review for pants, because everyone has such different opinions on what they wear. For me, I just want jeans that look like jeans, not cargo pants, just jeans. The 5.11s give me some extra pockets that are hidden and fit the bill. The pockets are actually larger than you think, if I don’t have an iPhone Plus I could probably fit my whole phone in it. The jeans are incredibly comfortable, way more than my Ariat Rebars, and hold up just as good. They feel more “stretchy”, which originally worried me and made me think they would fall apart faster, but I was wrong. They’re more flexible and I can work in them a lot better. I’m on my feet working 12+ hours a day 6 days a week, on the job or on the ranch. I’m crawling around, on my knees often, and frequently have to run. These jeans hold up really well and I’m only on my second pair in years and I wear them nearly every day. I highly highly recommend. 👍
