Thread Name: BS: Where to buy jeans in UK
Subject: RE: BS: Where to buy jeans in UK
In the past when I've worn men's jeans, the waists were too big in relation to the hips and they were always MUCH too long. It's a thought though, and I'll have a look at the men's section.

Sue, the jeans I'm wearing at the moment are from La Redoute...I use them all the time as their clothes tend to be better quality than a lot of catalogues. These jeans are great...non-stretch, short, fit well except for the fact that they are low waist. Not really low, just an inch or so below my waist, but still uncomfortable in consequence. The best I've managed so far, but still a long way from being as nice fitting and comfortable as my old Dorothy Perkins jeans.

I always trawl the charity shops, but they have very few as small as a size 10, they're usually mostly 14, and these days the majority seem to be stretch. I do have one nice pair I got from a charity shop called "Americanos"..just right, but just slightly too tight until I lose that 4 lbs!

Love Lynne
