Also, I don't mind paying more for jeans because that's all I wear in the winter. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Cookie Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 753 Loc: USA	I use to wear Levis but it got to be annoying that the sizing and fit were never consistent...2 pairs of jeans the same style and number never fit the same. I wear some Lee jeans, but I wear mostly Aura bootcut jeans from Wrangler. I love the fit. With these jeans, you wear a size smaller than you would normally wear. I don't know if that is a selling gimmick, thinking you are a size smaller than you really are. It doesn't matter to me whatever their reasoning is behind it. I like the jeans. They wear well, and feel great on.

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	Aura from Wrangler. I think Penny's has Wrangler. Wow! This is going to be more of an adventure than I anticipated. Eagle, that's good how your jean fitting session went. I don't think we have Reitman's here. I do think that sizing has changed. I used to sell suits and dresses and party wear at a Bullock's in Costa Mesa, CA. I don't think Bullock's exists anymore. It was like Nordstrom. Anyway, the higher end the line, the smaller the sizes, to flatter the customer's ego. _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

CrosstitchQueen Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 477 Loc: Sanford, Florida	hadn't heard of Aura from Wrangler will have to look for those. the Sonoma jeans I get at Kohl's run large too and I wear a size smaller in them, and I've often wondered the same thing about the sizing..............do they think that because it makes me feel good to think I wear an 8 instead of a 10 that I'll buy more?!? We don't have Reitman's here. _________________________ Ann

MustangGal Unregistered	I like Kohl's Sonoma brand for ladies, too; however, the jeans are too short! I need 34" length!

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I like Gloria Vanderbilt and Calvin Klein jeans. But I like any brand that feels good and fits comfortably. I like Naturalizer shoes and reasonably priced handbags with lots of compartments. I'd rather wear blue jeans than get dressed up. Suppose that's the farmer in me.

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	Sizing in women's clothing seems to be all over the place. It used to be that a size six (or whatever) was the same for all brands. Now it's like shooting craps. I can't trust that my size in one brand will fit if I pick that size in another brand. It's really frustrating! I can no longer pick out something in my size and trust that it will fit; I have to try on everything now. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

CrosstitchQueen Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 477 Loc: Sanford, Florida	Yea I know what you mean. And it's not just jeans......it's everything. T-shirts -- in one brand, a large is too big. In another, it's too small. And bathing suits -- well we don't even want to get into the sizing on them. I need bigger boobs and a smaller belly (want to just push the belly up and apply it to the boobs but gravity is against me). I almost never order any clothing online or thru catalogs for this reason. I just don't want to have to mess with shipping it back if it doesn't fit. _________________________ Ann

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	yonuh & crosstitch, I agree, sizing is thither and yon. Generally I take a medium, but the last few years have had to try each item on, because a medium isn't a medium any longer! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	I looked at Calvin Klein and Nine West jeans in a big box wholesale warehouse store yesterday. Size was so difficult to determine, plus, the length! It was too daunting so I gave up. _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676
