Thanks, Catnip! I agree that looser is better in hot weather, but these are such thick denim that I'm not sure I could wear them in mid-Summer anyway. I do have a pair of bootcuts that are lighter-weight and loose, so they'll work in the heat if I have to wear long pants. Thanks for the advice on the length. My eye has so adjusted to scrunch, that these stumped me.
Hooray, Angie! I spent some time on Pinterest this morning looking at white jeans. They all (like 99%) seem to have the crotch whiskering going on, so maybe it's just a fact of life in white jeans?
Golden, I am planning to order a size up to compare. I also have a slightly different cut on the way. We'll see! These do feel really good on.
Thank you, Joyce! I really wanted to add a pair of straight white jeans to the closet this year.
