I can't find jeans small enough in local stores that fit me. I'm a size 4 to 4 relaxed. So several years ago I had a pair that fit well. When they wore out I ripped them apart & made a pattern. I now make all of my jeans just like factory made right down to the special rivets. I found a rivet setter & rivets they use in factories. My husband had a special plate made for it to fit on my leather press. It takes me on average 2 days to make a pair of jeans. If I decide to do embroidery it may take 3 days. The down side if jeans fabric went up $3.00 a yard when cotton prices increased! OUCH!!

I buy mine at Kohls. They fit better than any other jeans I have ever bought and are reasonably priced. Their Croft and Barrow brand. I'm also a very hard to fit person. I'm only 4'10" and not exactly thin.

I've worn Style & Co. for years. Their a basic jean and stretch, which I like. There about 25.00 but last forever.
I have about 12 pairs. When they start to wear I just make them into shorts or pedal pushers!!

I get mine at Fleet Farm - Chic Jeans - elastic waist in jean denim and I also get slacks made by Chic and in the jean pattern only they are dressier. Love them. Nice and comfortable - specially since I dropped down several sizes over the winter, spring and summer! My favorite is a black slack with a pale blue pin stripe running vertically top to bottom (isn't that the same thing?). Sort of like the 1930's gangster pants!!!!! Edie
