Simon has been ling with Bluffworks Original pants for six years, so he was excited when Bluffworks released a pair of -friendly jeans.

The Bluffworks Departure jeans look like classic denim but are softer, stretchier, and lighter than regular jeans. They are super comfortable and Simon barely took them off during our two months ling around Japan. As always with Bluffworks pants, they even have hidden pockets for extra security on the road.

In this Bluffworks jeans review, we share our thoughts on the pros and cons of the jeans and compare them to the Bluffworks pants.

Disclosure: Bluffworks provided us with these jeans for review, but we only give our honest opinions, and if Simon didn’t love them, he wouldn’t still be ling with them.

Bluffworks Departure Jeans Details

Fabric: 68% Cotton, 22% COOLMAX Polyester, 9% Rayon, and 1% Spandex Pockets: Five classic jean pockets plus two hidden, zippered pockets in the back waistband Sizes: Waist from 28 to 40 inches and length from 28 to 36 inches Fit: Slim or regular Colour: Medium wash blue denim Cost: $125 (free US shipping and exchanges) Buy from: Bluffworks website

Bluffworks Jeans Features

Style and Fit

After nine years on the road, we don’t want to look like lers—we want to be able to wear regular-looking clothes that perform well on the road. This is something that Bluffworks does really well (and why a large portion of Simon’s wardrobe is made up of their clothes!).

Unlike many pants, Bluffworks jeans don’t look like technical pants. They look like normal jeans in a slightly faded indigo blue with all the traditional denim details like five pockets, brass rivets, and dual stitching in contrasting yellow and orange thread.

We love the classic styling without any unnecessary details or branding (just a simple Bluffworks patch on the back).

Jeans are the most common garment you’ll find anywhere in the world, and with the Departure jeans, you’ll definitely fit in.

Simon has the Slim Fit jeans which work well for him. They don’t cling to the leg like skinny jeans, so they are more breathable but still have a modern look.

They also come in Regular Fit, which might be better if you have larger thighs or prefer a looser fit.

Due to the stretch in the fabric, Bluffworks recommends ordering one size down from usual. Simon didn’t do this and wishes he had, as they did stretch out after a few wears and are a little too loose now (it’s also possible that he lost weight in Japan!).

We also found that the jeans are a tiny bit (less than half an inch) longer than the Original pants even though he got a 32” leg in both styles. I think Simon’s jeans look longer because they are looser at the waist. They gather a little at the ankle but this doesn’t bother him, and they also look good with the cuffs turned up.

If you are unsure about the best fit, you can take advantage of the free exchanges.

Pockets

The Bluffworks jeans have the classic five pockets—two front pockets, one coin pocket on the front, and two back pockets.

In addition, Bluffworks has added two hidden pockets in the back. Hidden pockets are one of our favourite features with Bluffworks clothing because they are so useful for . It was a hidden pocket that prevented Simon from losing his phone when pickpocketed (they got his wallet which was in a regular pocket). Jeans with hidden pockets are unusual so we were pleased to see this feature.

The hidden pockets on the Departure jeans are so discrete that it took me a while to find them. They are accessed from below the waistband (above the regular back pocket) where a hidden flap is camouflaged in the seam. It’s practically invisible and only when you lift the flap do you see the zip. This is so unusual that no one will know it’s there.

These pockets sit inside the jeans and are quite deep and made from a thin, water-resistant, silky polyester. The fabric is so light that you don’t notice it when you are wearing the jeans.

The hidden pockets work best for slimmer items like cash, cards, and passports. They aren’t ideal for bulkier phones and large wallets. Although, even if someone could see their shape, they’d have a tough time figuring out how to access it!

You can barely see the passport here or how to access it in the hidden pocket

Simon hasn’t needed to use these pockets so far. Partly because Japan is so safe (where he’s worn them most), and also because he prefers not to put things in his back pockets as it’s not comfortable to sit down on.

While you can easily fit a passport in the pockets, you can feel it if you sit down—it’s not ideal for long bus trips but walking around a crowded market would be fine.

Our one complaint with the Bluffworks jeans is that they don’t have the hidden front pockets that the Chinos and Original pants have. We think these are more practical for storing a phone and wallet on a daily basis. I imagine this decision was because they worked hard to keep a classic jeans look.

Comfort

The comfort factor is where the Departure jeans really stand out and why Simon wore them almost every day for two months.

They are ultra soft and have just enough stretch that they are much more comfortable than stiff classic denim.

Whether you are wearing them on a plane or sightseeing all day, these jeans feel great. Simon has worn them on two-hour hikes, bike rides, axe-throwing, temple-hopping, and for 12-hour days at Universal Studios and Tokyo Disney theme parks.

The fabric is breathable and versatile. They kept Simon warm in the Japanese winter (where it snowed at one point) but cool enough when he wore them in Singapore’s steamy climate. While shorts are more practical in the tropics, it’s good to have a pair of jeans that don’t make you overheat if you do want to wear them.

Weight

At 11 oz fabric weight per yard versus the standard 14 oz denim, Bluffworks jeans are lighter than regular jeans. They are not ultra light and will still take up a decent amount of space in your luggage, but for those of us who don’t want to without jeans, they are a good compromise.

Plus they are comfortable enough to wear on the plane, so you don’t even need to pack them.

If weight is a priority, it’s best to leave the jeans behind and with the Bluffworks Originals instead (see the comparison below).

We haven’t been able to weigh the Departure jeans yet, but Bluffworks says a pair with a 33″ waist weighs 23 oz (650g). Simon’s Original pants in a 29″ waist weigh 13.4 oz (380g).

Care

The jeans are machine washable and can be line or tumble dried. They do recommend washing them alone for the first wash as the indigo dye can transfer—we just washed them first with a few black items and have had no issues since including them in our regular wash.

They aren’t as quick drying as other Bluffworks pants, but we’ve found they air dry reasonably quickly (within a day in Japan and a half day in Thailand). They don’t wrinkle after washing.

After five months of wear, the jeans are holding up well and haven’t shrunk or lost colour (although they will fade over time like classic denim). After years of wearing Bluffworks products, we can vouch for the quality of their clothes and expect the jeans to be just as durable. We’ll report back as time goes on.

Where to Buy

The Bluffworks Departure Jeans are only sold on the Bluffworks website and cost $125 with free shipping and exchanges within the US. They also ship internationally for a fee.

Bluffworks is a small American company and their customer service is excellent. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them if you have any questions or need to find your perfect fit—they’ll exchange unworn pairs for free within 90 days.

Bluffworks Jeans vs Original Pants

The Bluffworks Original pants have been an essential part of Simon’s wardrobe for years. They are one of only two pairs of pants he owns (and now the Departure jeans are the second!).

How do the Bluffworks jeans compare to the Original pants?

The Bluffworks Departure jeans are:

Styled like classic jeans

Softer

Stretchier

Heavier

Bulkier

Less quick-drying

Wrinkle-resistant

Warmer in cold climates

$27 more expensive at $125

Available in one colour (medium wash denim)

Have two hidden back pockets

The Bluffworks Original pants are:

Dressier on more formal occasions

Lighter 

Smaller to pack

Quick-drying

Wrinkle-resistant

Stain-resistant

Cooler in warm climates

Better for hiking

$27 cheaper at $98

Available in six colours

Have two hidden front pockets

The Bluffworks Original pants are the best all-round pants as they are lighter, dry more quickly, and are more versatile (wear them on a six-day hike or to a wedding—Simon has done both). If you are ling with just one pair of pants, you can’t go wrong with these. 

But nothing beats the comfort and ability to blend in that a good pair of jeans provides. And the Departure jeans are a great pair of jeans.

If you are ling to both hot and cold climates, the combination of a pair of Bluffworks jeans and the Originals is ideal.

Read our Bluffworks pants review for more details about the Original pants.

Other Bluffworks Travel Clothes

The Departure jeans pair well with the Bluffworks dress shirt and blazer

It has been a pleasure to watch Bluffworks grow in recent years from their first pair of pants launched on Kickstarter to a wide range of -friendly clothing.

Simon also s with these Bluffworks items:

Gramercy Blazer – Only Bluffworks could convince Simon to with a blazer! This blazer is wrinkle-free, machine-washable, and perfect for business or if you need more formal attire (it was useful in Paris and Italy). The gazillion pockets are brilliant when flying as he can easily stash his passport, boarding pass, Kindle, and other valuables securely. See our Bluffworks blazer review for details.

Meridian Shirt – A super soft, breathable dress shirt that doesn’t wrinkle and looks great. Dress it up with the blazer or down with jeans.

Threshold Performance T-shirt – Could this be the perfect t-shirt? Simon hasn’t had his for long but so far, so good. It’s soft and comfy but is odour-resistant, moisture-wicking, and doesn’t look like a technical tee.

Bluffworks also makes chinos, dress pants, polo shirts, caps, and quilted vests. Browse the Bluffworks store here.

Do We Recommend Bluffworks Travel Jeans?

We highly recommend the Bluffworks Departure jeans. They are ultra comfortable and soft with just the right amount of stretch for any activity from long walks to sitting on a plane. They look like regular jeans, so you’ll blend in on your s, but the hidden pockets will keep your valuables secure. They are Simon’s new go-to pants.

That said, if you are ling to hot climates, packing ultralight, or need pants for hiking or formal occasions, the Bluffworks Original pants are still our pick for the best pants.
