Just don't let the yoga positions intimidate. I will never be able to do such positions!

I bought them from a local small women's chain store here at home.

I was instructed to wash them in cold water and hang to dry. Fine by me.

***My lack of motivation for a long time, to buy new jeans was partially I had been using the excuse of working at a construction site where alot of employees at all levels, wore all sorts of jeans. So no one cared about my 15-yr. old jeans.

It was actually a relief to work in an environment where there was less focus on looking chic vs. looking neat and practical while people focused on the job. Then a cycling lifestyle when I wasn't working, was a further excuse to do nothing. Anyway, my casual wear money had been directed on cycling stuff and scarcely any casual, non-sports activity wear for past 5 yrs.

In recent years, my favorite jeans are from Ann Taylor Loft. I shop there for pants because they have several styles and one will always do the trick. I don't mind paying more for jeans because I pretty much live in them; jeans and black pants.

Most of my pants are from Ann Taylor Loft b/c they have longer lengths. I need to order a couple more pair of Wranglers from Tractor Supply. While in junior high and highschool, I always shunned Wranglers, which were commonly sold at K-Mart back in the day. Now, I prefer Wranglers and/or Lees, both are made by the same company.

some of my friends are into horseback riding and posted this link on Facebook. I don't know what the difference is between these and other brands like Lee and Wrangler, I sure can't see much difference in the pictures, other than the knee patch which I think actually looks kinda cool. Since the topic here was jeans I thought I'd throw this in, somebody might be interested.

You sure can't beat the price at $15 a pair.

It's always better when there is a picture to look at, thanks for the information. The Lee stretch jeans fit well and are mighty comfortable.

Good ideas on jeans. I still have not shopped! I could not spend 100 on jeans although I'm sure they are worth it. I like the Loft clothes a LOT and Chicos

Never heard of Ann Taylor Loft before. Will have to look into
that.

I just looked it up; there are some Ann Taylor Lofts around here.
Who knew?
