I agree with Donna about the True Straights. Mine attracted lint from nowhere and seemed a little too wide, so felt frumpy compared to the skinnies. It got so I reached for the skinny pair unless I made myself wear the straights. They are a thick fabric unless that has changed. I've not yet pulled them out for fall a d may feel differently about them after getting used to boyfriends and sized up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-the-new-version-of-the-gap-skinny-black-pants#post-1021130 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:30:38 +0000 Diana 1021130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review, Donna.&nbsp; If they are heavy and warm, I don't think they'll work for me, as this is the problem with my current Martin skinnies too.&nbsp; Are the skinnies the same fabric as the straights?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-the-new-version-of-the-gap-skinny-black-pants#post-1021124 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:24:02 +0000 DonnaF 1021124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the True Straights, and my daughter got the True Skinnies at the Gap Outlet so I don't know if they are/were a downscale version.&nbsp; The True Skinnies shrunk, but I don't know if it was due to careless laundering.&nbsp; I think I've only washed my True Straights a couple of times, but I haven't noticed any shrinkage.&nbsp; I find them a little stiff (enough to fold up the hem and have it stay), heavy, and warm so I don't wear them too much.&nbsp; I also need to wear a belt with them so they don't slide down, so that's another deterrent.&nbsp; They pick up lint like crazy, and that's mentioned in the reviews.&nbsp; Negatives aside, I really like the width which is 14.5" at the bottom in a 2P.&nbsp; I found them to run TTS.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-the-new-version-of-the-gap-skinny-black-pants#post-1021117 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:02:47 +0000 Diana 1021117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several of you mentioned the Gap always skinny black pants in my other thread as a potential replacement for my Martin skinnies, which look good but which are too hot for me.&nbsp; The always skinnies are no longer available but there are several that look similar on the website right now.&nbsp; They are all cotton/spandex, which is my requirement (poly is too hot and itchy).&nbsp; Has anyone tried them in person?&nbsp; The first 2 are cropped but because it's Gap, I can order talls to get them to be full length on me.</p> <p>ultra skinny: <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=57240&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=349597002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=349597002</a></p> <p>slim: <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=57240&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=760954022" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=760954022</a></p> <p>true straight:<a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=57240&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=772522002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=772522002</a></p>
