They actually look like very well made jeans -
But I'm wondering why they couldn't just change the shape of the inside leg and crotch seams to achieve the same effect without doing the inset.
Seams to me that when some manufacturers add that 'piece' - it's to save on the total amount of fabric needed.
Although the bias cut of that gusset would have more give.
