Jabber, there is no farmer in me, but jeans are my dress of choice. There is a rock star hidden within. Hmmm, where to get jeans for rock stars? Oh, and what about jeans made in America? What do we know about that?

There are very few companies that make things here - most garments, including jeans, are made overseas. And the jeans made in the US are usually made with imported fabric. How sad is that?

PL,
I've been meaning to link this site here. A local man started
a Made in America Store; he's only a few miles from where I live.
www.saveourcountryfirst.com/ You can give this a try. I bought those Calvin K.'s at Macy's or JC Pennys, I think. But they fit
great. Good luck! Rock Star hey?

yonuh,
I emailed the owner of the aforementioned business and asked
if the "Texas Jean" fabric was imported from overseas. I'll let
you know. That was an interesting observation and want to know
myself!

The "Made in America" store that this link coincides with is
having a concert this weekend and they seem extremely busy right now. I googled "Texas Jeans" and their site claims Texas Jeans
are 100% made in the USA! So believe it or not? I don't know.
But that's the claim!

I've had success with Chicos' jeans, but the best-fitting, most comfortable, long-lasting jeans I've ever worn are Not Your Daughter's Jeans. They're expensive--average about $100--but well worth it.

I just bought Yoga black jeans. Not cheap. But actually I've looking for new jeans...um...last 5 yrs. off and on. I decided to get them for both home casual warm wear and for business casual days.

I was a bit shocked what "low-rise" jeans meant. It was too annoyingly low for me..and I can wear such styles.

They are snug enough ..as incentive for me to stay in shape. My current 12 yr. old jeans are too lose and have tendency to expand in them during winter because there's not enough snugness to warn me.

Hi Orchid, I wasn't familiar with Yoga jeans, but your comments sent me on a search, and for anyone else unfamiliar, here is a website I found that talks about them. Apparenlty they are made in Canada... http://charlie-sattva-yoganista.com/all-about-second-yoga-jeans/

These have been my best bet as well. They don't gap at the waist and are made of stretch fabric, and just the right length. I try to find mine on sale or at an outlet store.
