SEW: blue jeans

 This pair of jeans was bought same time size and brand as the other.

One pair the lighter ones after 2 years got huge- the stretch part of them gave out. Disappointing but they are comfortable when layered. The darker pair fir perfectly but the "season" for wearing them is short- too hot in Summer and Winter they need layering. Wool tights used to be fine under them but! All of a sudden this year they are extremely tight and too uncomfortable to wear they are very tight at the calf. and of course a bitch to button. So what to do. So I decided I would alter them by inserting a colorful material to add 2 inches. Like a brocade. Haven't gotten that far yet and haven't even cut them- but this is how they compare. bummer







after all is said and done- Levis may be sexier but Lees are more consistent. Especially the pockets lined with black material.
