Wit and wisdom brocade jeans at Nordies

Diana

Anyone seen these in person? From the fabric description (cotton/poly/spandex, wish Nordies would give percentages!) and reviews, they sound like they might be more jegging-ish than true jeans, but I'm still quite tempted. Any ideas on sizing? I've never tried W&W jeans in person and got the impression that they're better for apple types, but one review on these suggests that they are TTS for pears.

Shannon has Wit and Wisdom skinnies, I think. Angie recommended the regular ones. I don't know if anyone has the brocade ones. I almost ordered these but went with some from DL instead.

I feel like I've seen them but can't be sure if they were the same brand. If they were they were definitely more jegging-like.

Well, I've asked about the fabric composition in percentages and am waiting for a reply. (As an aside, it drives me nuts that Nordie's doesn't list percentages in its fabric compositions... I feel like I'm always leaving questions in the Q&A section about percentages.) I hope they're not too high in poly (not only will they be too stretchy, but too much poly for me has the potential to be itchy too).

I like these because of the tonal print, the fact that the back rise will be high enough for me, and the longer inseam (31" as opposed to the 29" that so many skinnies inexplicably come in).

ETA: Suz, are these the ones you got?

Diana, I have these!

They are stretchy, but not the stretchy-est jeans I own by far, and they honestly have a bit of a woven, non-stretch feel to them, not soft cotton denim feeling. They are on the thin side. But, the cut does work will for my pear shape.

They are 65% cotton, 34% poly, and 1% spandex.

Oh, yay, thanks, Jenava! They look great on you. I'm glad they're not super stretchy, will probably try them out then. Did you find them to be true to size?

Diana, yes, TTS, maybe running a tiny bit on the larger size. I got a size 10, and I'm finding that in a few of the other brands a 10 isn't quite big enough...but I'd start with your usual size. That's likely to fit just fine since they aren't super stretchy.
