They are like a better version of a boyfriend jean. time marches on. I love Cheap Monday second skin jeans too, but they are not real jeans. Still they are sexy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-69328174021745383092009-03-06T00:13:00.000-05:002009-03-06T00:13:00.000-05:00This is just a guess based on vaguely recalling ha...This is just a guess based on vaguely recalling having seen pants with these different labels, but I think that "cigarette" jeans are less legging-ish, i.e. a very narrow cut, but not meant to cling all spandex-like at the calf.

Levi's don't really sell pre-destroyed denim, I think because the point of their denim is to end up wearing it in yourself. So they kind of didn't sell out, maybe. As of late, I feel like they're still making an effort to stay relevant and possibly even succeeding at it. Their stuff is pretty straightforward and classic, and though initially a bit expensive, as you've discovered, they have good sales. <BR/><BR/>Moving on to another mystery in denim--what are "cigarette" jeans, and are they different from skinny jeans?keihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395109777604139705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-77997746739895687732009-03-05T12:15:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:15:00.000-05:00You... win?

(No, I do not want jeans that snap at the cuff.)<BR/><BR/>I doubt if Levi's does hemming either, but as I note in the post, it has pants in various lengths, so that I can get tiny-person jeans without taking them to the tailor. Often short-people sizes need to be ordered online, which means paying for shipping rather than hemming--if both can be avoided, that's ideal. Uniqlo is the only store I've found that hems for free, but they can be a bit overzealous, leading to something closer to a capri than to a shortened pair of pants.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-8393314749870293982009-03-05T12:10:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:10:00.000-05:00Heh, the internet fails to reveal my secret wrangl...Heh, the internet fails to reveal my secret wrangler fifteen dollar jeans.
