I ordered this pair of Mott & Bow jeans. List price is $108, but I paid $100 exactly - I used a $15 off coupon and then added $7 for shipping and handling.
Right around $100 is the most I've ever paid for a pair of jeans, and I've generally been disappointed that they weren't perfect at that price point, because my current favorite pair of jeans only cost about $50 (I've never been able to find them again, sadly, which has led to me searching far and wide for something similar).
I got the jeans last Friday and have worn them twice so far. Other than my aforementioned favorite pair of jeans, these are easily my favorite pair of pants, perhaps a "1B", if you will. The stretch is great, a solid fit for an athletic build, and they seem to be of high quality, though it remains to be seen how long they'll last.
The only thing that I can say I wish was different about the pants is that the leg opening is slightly wider than I like at 15.5 inches (I wear a size 30x32 - more on that later). I'm undecided if I'd like to take them to a tailor to adjust the cuff size, but I think I'm OK with how they are currently.
A huge plus here is that they have a "try-on" policy, where you can order two sizes you might like and they send you the packing material to return the one you don't want. I ordered a 30x32 and 31x32 (I'm usually one of these two sizes with other brands) and only tried on the 30x32 as they fit perfectly. This tells me that if you are in between sizes, sizing down may be preferable as the jeans do have a good amount of stretch, but I guess you don't even need to really worry about it because you can always send one pair back.
Another thing I'll add about this wash in particular is that I think I could get away with wearing them in a business casual setting, where I might normally wear chinos.
Perhaps the most positive review I can give is that I already ordered an additional three pairs in various washes, and they currently have a promo going on where you can get 25% off of your order if you're a first-time buyer. I used my work email so they came out to around $75 a pair, which I'm more than willing to pay for a good pair of jeans.

Pros:
- Solid elasticity

Cons:
- Cuff is a bit wider than I'd like
- Some of our resident TMBSLers may be turned off by a price point above $30
