Padded Crotch Jeans

The Calvin Klein Body Jeans Lends an Enlarging Optical Illusion

Clearly a sock isn’t good enough anymore, because the Calvin Klein Body Jean has an added bonus for all you bashful boys: a padded fly. But why care? I mean, do people really assess the bulge as much as they obsess about the boob? I guess so.

Offering a “body-defining fit for an enhanced profile,” the Calvin Klein Body Jean advocates that, yes ladies and gentlemen, size does matter. At least to the CK family. Take a look at model Jamie Dornan, do you think all…that…is really necessary? I’ll let you be the judge.
