Regarding fit.

Being in the rag biz, I've been biting my tongue as I know the answer....

ick, ick ick, I don't like spandex in the jeans.

I don't need spandex in the jeans. I need jeans that are cut for a short, 50+ year old woman, not a 17 year old stick girl, and I don't want "Mommy jeans."

My old jeans (no spandex) fit just fine. Slightly below the waist, no bagging in the back of the waist, the back pockets are where they belong too. Why do they discontinue the stuff we like?

Lainey, I'm keeping up with you on posts today. Can you tell it's been raining non-stop all day here! What other problems of the world can we solve besides figuring out how to supply jeans and shoes that fit to the masses? You'll have to do it without me. I'm getting cabin fever.

Dave, glad for the company. WAY too dead at work today. I think Connie was kidding about the shoes, but I wasn't. Those shoes out there are either meant for hookers, or old ladies. Having a tough time deciding which group I want to identify with. Guess I'm just not fashionable enough.

I'm outta here shortly myself. Someone else will have to take over. The grandchildren are coming over for supper.

ok lainey, then take your measurements based on the list I gave you and go to various jean mfg sites. They usually will have their measurements available online. If they don't, just send them an email with your measurements and ask them which style and size they mfg that will fit you best and who carries it.

Thanks.

Do you sell jeans? Maybe you could ship me like 100 pair to try on.

If your dressing princesses and supplying presidential baby gifts, I can't afford to shop in your store.

Those are the exceptions to the rule. We don't sell any jeans at all.

I'm sorry for giving you a bad time but I'm probably the only guy on here who can appreciate your frustration.
I play with 10+ different sizes ranges.
It's all in the measurements and that is the secret to fit.
