I have "Unbranded" jeans that are made by Naked and Famous. Will these jeans have pockets so small that you can't get your hands in them like the Unbranded jeans?
What kind of cut will these be?

norexitI had never considered pocket bag depth before. My general thinking is, if my phone fits, its good. But based on your comment, I measured a few pairs of jeans and this is what I found.
Levi's 501 Made in the USA size 28 - 10.5" pocket bag BraveStar Slim Tapered size 28 - 10.0" pocket bag Gustin Straight size 29 - 9.5" pocket bag Naked & Famous Weird Guy size 27 - 9.0" pocket bag
I do not own any "Unbranded" jeans, so I cannot say if the Unbranded jeans have even smaller pocket bags or not. Also, I do not know if pocket bags "scale" with the size of the jeans (I only own small sizes)
As for fit (cut), the MassDrop description says that the jeans will be Weird Guy which is a Regular Tapered fit.

bridgeandtunnelguyPocket width is my problem with the Naked and Famous "Unbranded" jeans that I have. I can't fit my average sized hands in them to pull things out. I can barely pull my phone out of my pocket.
Why would they call a regular tapered cut "Weird Guy?" That makes it sound like it's a weird cut. They looked kind of baggy and slouchy in the pictures.

norexitAhh, now I know what you are talking about with regards to pockets being "tight." I find that the tighter the jeans fit, the harder it is to get your hands/phone/wallet into and out of the pockets. If the fit is looser then it is easier to maneuver. Think of the skin tight jeans that women wear (the pockets are pretty much useless - that's why women carry purses).
As for the naming of the fits, you will have to ask the Naked & Famous marketing department. From roomiest to smallest N&F offers:
Easy Guy (relaxed top block tapered leg) Weird Guy (regular top block tapered leg) Skinny Guy (slim straight fit) Super Skinny Guy (slim tapered) Stacked Guy (true skinny fit)

norexitWeird Guy is not for skinny people IMO. Tapering is fairly normal, but the butt and thigh area is a bit fuller than I'd like. Ideal for "bigger" guys with more muscular thighs and glutes, but not me. On me they end up with baggy butt and larger than normal knee-bags despite the waist being a perfect fit. I bought one pair of Weird Guys years ago and since then only buy Skinny Guy fit, which this drop does not include.

bridgeandtunnelguyIt has nothing to do with jean tightness. It's only about how small the pocket opening is. Also, the reason women carry purses is because they don't make pockets that are even big enough to hold a cell phone on most women's jeans. It's not because of tightness.
For the Naked and Famous made Unbranded Brand jean, the pinch point is the width of the pocket opening. Not the depth, not the tightness.

norexitA lot of that has to do with the distance of the top of the pocket opening from the waistband, which varies between brands. I've never had any problems with any of my N&F pocket openings, although I do have one pair that inexplicably has much shallower pocket bags than all the others

norexitI have a Weird Guy pair on right now and I can fit my phone (iPhone SE) in the pockets even the long way, so I don't think that's a problem.
