I encouraged Viva to get them a few months ago. Get a size 31. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384390 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 17:20:38 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1384390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the JCrew white matchsticks, and even those are not excessively skinny. I don't remember if they were the Cone denim or not, but they are a pretty substantial weight and they don't do anything annoying with bagging out due to being too stretchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384228 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:15:35 +0000 crutcher 1384228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Madewell and JCrew are the same company </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384178 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 07:24:26 +0000 Inge 1384178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am SO holding thumbs for you that these will work out, Sveta. You have been patiently looking for white straight leg jeans for years now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384119 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 03:49:05 +0000 Suz 1384119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! I hope they work!&nbsp;</p> <p>I knew they were the same company, but what I did not know was that we can also order from Madewell! That was news to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384112 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 03:30:38 +0000 Sveta 1384112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I called JCrew and got measurements. Looks like size 31 is very similar to my Madewell straight jeans (did you know that JCrew and Madewell is the same company?)<br />Content is 90%cotton / 8% poly &nbsp;/ 2% elastane<br />I decided to risk it and ordered them - fingers crossed they are good!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384076 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 02:22:21 +0000 Suz 1384076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! I have not seen them. They sound excellent. Thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384074 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 02:11:00 +0000 Sveta 1384074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your resolve is stunning! :-)<br />I also need a new puffer. However as my JCrew blazer order was a bust I may as well get a couple of sweaters to weather me over the winter.<br />Have you seen sheepskin slippers at Costco? they are $20 and very warm &nbsp;- I like them for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384068 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:59:46 +0000 Suz 1384068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I am <b>NOT</b> ordering. Need to start exercising some austerity here, after all, and these are not needs, only wants.&nbsp;</p> <p>A bigger need is a new pair of slippers. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also maybe a new winter coat to supplement my collection. I truly wish our Winners was better stocked. But I might get lucky there or elsewhere.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384067 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:57:50 +0000 Suz 1384067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I think they are a pretty new style. And I remember wondering how they differ from the Matchsticks.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if Jeanne knows. She often had an idea about all things J. Crew. Or Angie may have seen them on a client.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384065 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:52:30 +0000 Sveta 1384065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are also matchstick jeans in white which have good reviews - but they do not come in tall! All other matchstick styles come in tall but white - how fair it that!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384062 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:50:10 +0000 Sveta 1384062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, no reviews :-(<br />It says "cotton / poly with stretch" so I have no idea if there is 1% or 5% of it. :-(&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384060 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:45:54 +0000 Suz 1384060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not know about the Reid jeans from experience with trying on, but I touched them the other day in the store in blues (but not the white) -- they seemed to have a fair bit of stretch but I might be mis-remembering (I was feeling up a lot of the merchandise, LOL.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I am so excited that you might finally get your white jeans!! I hope someone has some answers on these. Are there any reviews? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-shopping-plee-for-help#post-1384056 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:43:05 +0000 Sveta 1384056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have placed my sweater order - thank you all so much for your help.<br />But...I made a mistake of looking at the jeans and I found these white full length straight jeans in Tall at JCrew as well.<br />The problem is - it is much harder with sizing than with the sweaters. My last straight jeans from Madewell were size 31 and they fit like relaxed skinnies - this is how I like my skinnies to fit now. Which size should I get in white Reid then? Size chart for JCrew and Madewell is basically the same for size 31 but should I size up for white to 32 or not? Help?!!!<br />Oh, and another question: are these Reid jeans from JCrew good or should I pass on them?<br />Thanks a lot!!!</p>
