I wouldn't mind trying them again. I don't recall that I went down more than 1 or 2 sizes from my normal, but I could be wrong, or the sizing has changed in the intervening years. I have a fairly short front crotch to waist length which may be why they fit me so well despite being tall.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-27928333706122739732012-06-24T10:26:25.573-04:002012-06-24T10:26:25.573-04:00Kay - I appreciate that they don't put logos e...Kay - I appreciate that they don't put logos everywhere.

Right now, my dark denim skinny mainstays are JBrand, and you know those aren't cheap; I'm also wearing a pair of virgin-denim Denhams in a workmanlike old-school cut that I cuff. Probably not as flattering but I feel I channel a certain attitude in them.<br />Bottom line for me, I'm looking for a jean that doesn't push all the pudge I own right above the waistband and let it hang there for me to work my top around.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-60112014364503927542012-06-20T22:06:26.818-04:002012-06-20T22:06:26.818-04:00i once had a pair of "seven" jeans (boug...i once had a pair of "seven" jeans (bought for me) and i hated the shit out of them! they had no stretch, and i swear that zipper broke more times than i could count (not from stretch, though the same i'm sure couldn't be said now. they have long since been given away). <br /><br />my holy grail jean is actually a cheapo that's discontinued: american eagles downtown hipster cut. made before there were hipsters. i've been in a jeans abyss since then....marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-55544574518920542322012-06-20T21:47:04.906-04:002012-06-20T21:47:04.906-04:00Awesome!
