I almost always have a bad experience when I go to LB for pants. I try to find 14 or 16 TALL in anything and have no luck. The sales people tell me I can get them online and I’m more than welcome to bring them back to the store if they don’t fit. Well, damnit, I want pants NOW, you know? I’ll give the new jeans a try though, but I finally found a line of jeans that are long enough for me, don’t stretch out and actually fit nice…Harley Davidson. No kiddin’!

Jeans have always been a love-hate thing with me – never fitting quite right. I’m a heavy-in-the-hips-and-thighs gal.

However, a couple years ago I found a brand that fits me perfectly – Lee Rider jeans from Walmart (I think Kmart carries them as well) in size 18. For $20, they wear great (I just chucked my first pair after 4 years of regular wear). Different washes do fit slightly differently – the black jeans are a tad too tight, but the dark wash and light wash are great.

It’s interesting that the “perfect jeans” for me showed up at Walmart of all places. (I’m a college student so yes, I do buy clothes there since I’m on a tight budget).

I’d definately be willing to try on a few pairs at LB to see how they fit, but they’d have to be really great for me to buy them. I have a hard time imagining they’d fit better than Lee Riders for me.

I tried the Right Fit jeans, and I was disappointed. The old-style low-rise boot cut jeans fit me perfectly, but the Right Fit jeans? Not so much. I too got sized up and measured by a saleslady, and she pegged me as a Red 8 right off. I took a pair of Yellow and Blues into the dressing room just for kicks, and the Reds did fit better than the other two, but they still were too tight across the thigh and baggy below the knee. I tried a couple of different sizes and cuts of the Reds, but none of them were very flattering. Which was a big disappointment, because I’m down to one pair of jeans that fit. Now I don’t know what I’m going to do.

I am so pleased to hear that they are doing this sizing. I don’t shop there, so this is the first I’ve heard of it. How wonderful to walk in to a store and not have a stupid number on the sizing tag staring you down and ridiculing you. This is a powerful move they have made and I hope more clothing manufacturers catch on.

I haven’t tried the Right Fit jeans yet, but I bought some of their standard cotton undies a couple of weeks ago. Two of the five pairs developed holes at the side seam on the first wear! WTF? I’m really irritated about it, since I love their undies, but come on, Walmart underwear lasts longer than that. Mind letting us know if you encounter something similar with yours?

I’m going to have to agree with Sniper’s beef. I think I’ve tried on every pant in that store three times with no luck, the material just hangs badly!
And they WAY stretch…I’ve been debating on taking mine back because they feel so big and i’m losing weight, and these comments have definitely convinced me to move down a size.
something i noticed while trying them on…..there is a large difference, at least in the red on how flares and bootcut fit. the flares seemed to be significantly tighter in the thigh area, (so make sure you’re not-so-with-it boyfriend doesn’t go out to get you another size and hand you a flare at which point you spend a solid five mins cursing your huge ass and thighs for being between sizes)

I got a pair a week ago and have been wearing them everyday. I have not owned jeans in years. I am so, so, so happy with them.

Wrong country, wrong size for LB, but I wish all jeans came in different shapes like that. But yeah, in my experience all denim jeans stretch rather than shrink. (Except for the pair that I bought slightly too tight to account for future stretchage, and which have meanly remained exactly the same.) I actually like it if jeans go looser after one wearing, because I tend to wear them for activities where I want to move freely…

My jeans go at the thighs too. Sigh. I shall be happy someday when I manage to rip a pair at the knee first.

I have a few pairs of reds, and that’s really only because all of my other jeans self-destructed in the thighs, as they are wont to do. I miss them dearly, because the new jeans just aren’t as good. They can’t be worn more than once in between washings because they get too loose. I also used to be a perfect average length in their jeans, but since they’ve been resized, I don’t fit in any length well. The average are too long, and the petite too short. I’m 5’6, so that shouldn’t be happening. Also, the fabric isn’t great. Light washes aren’t flattering the way dark are, but the dark jeans, even after several washes, turn everything they touch, including my favorite purses, blue.

Full disclosure: I work for LB.

I love these jeans, and it seems that everyone I have measured for them loves them too!

They do stretch out a lot. When in doubt, go a little tight and wear them around the store for 15 minutes. (Maybe do some knee bends). Also, some washes are stretchier than others. YMMV.

I do agree, it would be great if we carried some wool pants…however, I know the cotton/linen pinstripes we carried for spring(which look adorable on the rack) aren’t so hot on the bod.

Most customers seem to want something with some stretch and give to it (that they can throw in the washer and dryer.) Granted, I live in CA, where wool pants aren’t too practical temp-wise.
