I looked at a pair with the higher stretch composition, but preferred the way the ones with more cotton fit.<br />Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1549168 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 20:38:04 +0000 Aziraphale 1549168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Dres in three different washes. They are all 98% cotton and 2% polyurethane , but one of the pairs feels a lot stretchier than the other two. The stretchy pair is a lighter wash and a lighter weight denim, so maybe that's why?</p> <p>All three pairs loosened up very slightly, but not so much that it was a problem. This style of jeans isn't meant to be skin-tight.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1549013 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 16:33:14 +0000 greycat6 1549013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Staysfit! &nbsp;Me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1548761 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:05:52 +0000 Staysfit 1548761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of Dre skinny jeans and they absolutly stretch and stretch, but I like them anyway. &nbsp;I belt them. &nbsp;I wear them tucked into boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1548742 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 22:29:25 +0000 greycat6 1548742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That doesn't sound like much fun at all, MsMaven. &nbsp;Growing jeans are one of my pet peeves. &nbsp;Ugh.</p> <p>How do you like you white jeans to fit? &nbsp;If you like a looser fit, I think you will be OK with the white ones in the size you bought. &nbsp;The burgundy jeans do not feel like traditional heavy cotton jeans to my hand. &nbsp;They have a denim twill texture but are lighter weight. &nbsp;Maybe it is the high lyocell content? &nbsp;If these were white, I would be sizing up for sure. &nbsp;If they were as snug as the burgundy ones, you would see every lump and bump. &nbsp;Not a good look on me!</p> <p>Also, mine do not fit the model on the Nordstrom's sight. &nbsp;I bought mine to wear tucked into boots so I wanted a sleeker look. &nbsp;They fit more like loose skinnies on my pear shaped body. &nbsp;Hope that helps.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1548734 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 22:01:42 +0000 MsMaven 1548734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing a pair of Dre 98% cotton 2% spandex that I bought a year ago. I weigh pretty much the same. As I walk around the house they slide off my hips and down, down. I don't like wearing a belt at home. I just bought a pair of white ones with similar fabric content to yours. I've only worn them a couple of hours, so can't say yet. I don't wear them at home--I have two black cats.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I wonder if I should have gone down a size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1548696 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 20:29:11 +0000 greycat6 1548696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Word Lily!

I will go back and check for them. Maybe we should coin a new phrase like spandex stretch factor and manufacturers can start adding that to product descriptions. :)</p> <p>Elizabeth what a great idea!

There's no way to predict which jeans will stretch out and which will hold their shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1548454 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 11:53:34 +0000 Joyce B 1548454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The regular denim Dres do stretch out.<br /> I don't know how the fabric of yours will behave, I am interested as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-rb-the-dre-burgundy-jeanshow-much-non-cotton-fiber-can-you-tolerate-in-jeans#post-1548353 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 02:21:23 +0000 greycat6 1548353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy jeans have been a highly elusive item for me for several years.  These check all of the boxes - great color, good fit, medium rise, etc.</p> <p>My question is about the fabric content and stretch factor of non-cotton fibers in jeans.  The fabric content in The Dre is 55% cotton, 42% lyocell, 3% spandex.  How much will they stretch?  Will they bag out?</p> <p>I am in between sizes and trying to decide if I should go with the snugger fit to compensate for the stretch and potential bagging out.  I detest jeans that bag out. For this reason the NYDJ Samantha does not work for me.</p> <p>I would appreciate hearing from others who have experience with R&amp;B jeans, The Dre cut or general guidelines on non-cotton fibers jeans.  Do you have a general rule of thumb on spandex and/or polyester content?  Do premium brands so a better job containing the bag out factor? </p> <p>Thanks very much for your insight! </p>
