Dear womens demin makers . . .
Dear womens demin makers . . . Dear womens denim makers Would it really be so hard to make pants that fit? This has become an epidemic. Cheap pants, expensive ones- it doesnt matter. Every woman I know struggles with how jeans fit nowadays. And this is universal- tall and skinny, short and fat, average, boxy, hourglass, etc etc. Its not like guys jeans. Men can go to any store, look at the size tag, buy them and be done. In and out. And they fit! Noooo. Its at least a 4 hour excursion for women to get new jeans. Scouring through every store in the mall , trying on every. last. pair. that are in the three size range of what you usually might wear (except on your fat days, then everythings uncomfortable anyway). And you have to try on every pair. Even if its the same brand, different cuts that are labeled the same size still fit different than the last pair. I even go so far as to try on the same cut of the same brand. Quality control much? My one beloved brand, one that was previously made in the US and Canada, moved manufacturing to China a few years ago. They are the same price, but the quality decreased dramatically. They arent as thick or durable and every pair available has LOTS more stretch. I fit -comfortably- in two different sizes, depending on, again, the cut. Then theres this thing called vanity sizing. Eyeroll! SMH! Facepalm! It doesnt make me feel like Im a smaller size when I try on 5 pairs and they all fit different. It makes me want to go home and curl up with a tub of ice cream! How Jeans Fit . . . and Then . . . Or what about those ones that fit perfectly, feel good, look great except they make this weird popping noise in the crotch when you walk. A friend of mine calls them her fart pants LOL! Personally, Id like to see less stretch in my jeans. No offense to the jeggings lovers out there, but when I want to wear jeans, I wanna wear jeans. When I want to wear leggings, I wear those. I dont get the hybrid thing, I think its just a marketing ploy. A way for the manufacturers to go a little cheaper. I like a little stretch, but if its anything less than 97% denim (per the tag) its too much stretch.. and more chance of popping. I get there are countless body shapes and sizes out there, but how about just start with standardized sizing? At least give us a starting point so we dont have to go through a three size range of 20+ pairs to end up getting one pair, if were lucky. So, jeans people- standardize sizing, make some jeans with less stretch. Start with that. Then well work on the other issues later, like bringing manufacturing back to the states. ??
