What is PJP, you wonder? It stands for Perfect Jeans Pocket.
I don't take credit for my next jeans-related discovery (here's the first one, in case you've missed it ) since I've learnt this little fact from the product description, but I still wanted to share it as I'm really happy to learn what a difference a small change in the pattern makes.
I have both last year's and this year's model of the jeans which go under the same name, but one of the major improvements is how the insides of the pockets (or pocket lining, made of 100% cotton) are cut and sewn in.
The new model's pockets reach all the way across the front and are sewn into the zipper hem. This means that although the jeans themselves have some elastine, the bit across the tummy will not stretch at all, because the pockets fabric cannot stretch, therefore keeping the jeans un-stretched too at that part.
The results? Flatter tummy, which is nice in itself, but also the whole front of the jeans does not fold or cut into the belly, which apart from being comfortable helps keep the nice posture too. Also, looking from the outside, the old pockets always gape a bit because they somehow "float" on the inside of the pants, while the new ones don't as they are "anchored" in the zipper hem.
Pictures will illustrate it better than words I'm sure. Photo 1 shows the old jeans, 2 shows the new.
ETA: Added photos to show pockets lying flatter on the outside. Photo 3, old jeans: Photo 4, new jeans.
