new jeans

[redbird]

OK, this is just weird: I ordered two pairs of jeans from LL Bean, both the same size and style, but in different shades of blue. One pair fits, and the other has a defective buttonhole, so I'll be returning it. They sewed the buttonhole too tight: I can fasten it with only a little trouble, but unfastening it was difficult.

These are to replace a pair of jeans that wore out, and one that I expect to wear out in the next few months, so I was expecting them to fit, unless the manufacturer decided to change the size numbering. The pair with a properly-made buttonhole does fit, so I have removed the tags and thrown them into the laundry basket.

Definitely check every pair. Usually I try them on in the store, but the last time I went to Burlington, I used up my shopping energy on finding a winter coat and looking at boots.

And as you say, I like the quality of fabric, and the main thing is, these fit. Macy's sometimes has jeans that fit me, but the fabric is a lot thinner and the pockets aren't as good.
