By the way BJ I just received the Angie picks from the Nordstrom sale. I ordered my usual size &amp; my bigger size from when I was 30 pounds heavier. Even the larger ones are giving me muffin top. I will post a K/R&nbsp;tomorrow as I have already posted a WIW today but am going to post the pictures here for you to see. Maybe it is just the deal with coated jeans. I think that I can't go bigger in these. They are loose enough. I don't think they would do a more relaxed skinny look well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another note about muffin top in general. I used to be in the rag trade (clothing industry) as a Quality Controller. I also studied pattern making &amp; fashion design. It was part of my job to inspect the mini digital versions of what was laid on top of a "lay" of fabric before it is cut. The cutter had to follow the mini version to make sure nothing was missed &amp; everything was cut on the correct grain. Cheaper clothing would sometimes cut the waistband going down the length of the fabric rather than across it. That way they could get more garments per roll of fabric. Now even non stretch fabrics have some give but they have more give across the fabric, from selvedge to selvedge, than they do lengthwise. When the body of the pants has grain going one way &amp; the waistband the other you get different amounts of stretch, with less in the waistband. This can cause muffin top in pants that fit everywhere else. Unfortunately it isn't only the cheaper garments that have this problem sometimes. It is easy to see on twill &amp; denim. The diagonal lines you see in the fabric should be going the same way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1391729 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:30:36 +0000 Meredith 1391729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I piggyback on this thread and also ask if coated denim gets permanent creases? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1391728 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:28:18 +0000 catgirl 1391728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some that stretch and some that don't (AG similar to these). I find my coated ponte leggings from Lysse to be what I reach for the most - same effect, but so much softer and comfier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1391693 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:58:18 +0000 Vicki 1391693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bj1111 I have no experience with coated jeans, probably because it's a textural, "feely" thing for me, but I love the look and am fascinated reading others' feedback. I would think, with the coating, there wouldn't be too much give. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1391690 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:54:34 +0000 ElleH 1391690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've noticed that different coated jeans are different fabrics &amp; coatings etc so I'm not sure how much yours would stretch. I have a very lightweight pair of &amp; 7 For All Mankind that would stretch a lot to accommodate weight fluctuation but still showed muffin top. They also shrank down to fit me when I lost a lot of weight, no bagging. But they were very thin &amp; light, not like the stiff heavy coated ones. Perhaps I originally bought them too small because they were so stretchy &amp; I was able to squeeze into them lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1391675 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:20:57 +0000 abc 1391675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The one pair I have doesn't stretch much at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1391584 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:19:44 +0000 Gem 1391584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a mango pair that grow from way too tight to way too big over the course of a day's wear. Irritating stuff. It's my last purchase from mango - I do like their styles but I've been very unlucky with purchases there - they just don't have the quality I demand </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1390530 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:07:07 +0000 bj1111 1390530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies.

I think that is the only way to be sure. I have a pair of coated denim (Citizens of Humanity), and they stretch. I'm a little leery of your keeping the larger pair because of the drooping panel at the crotch. I don't think you'll feel very fab in those as time goes on.</p> <p>Is it possible to try on duplicates of these sizes at the store? There is often some variation from item to item within the same size. Perhaps trying on more of the same sizes would give you a better fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1390372 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 03:35:48 +0000 Anonymous 1390372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have coated jeans in two different brands that I have worn a lot and neither stretch or, if they do, it is very minimally. To keep the coating, I try to avoid washing them very often, choosing to air them out after Fabreezing or a day in the freezer. Even wearing multiple times, they haven't stretched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1390371 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 03:34:07 +0000 Janet 1390371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some coated AG jeans from two years ago, and they do not stretch much at all. It doesn't look like they're the same pants, although the fabrication sure sounds similar. MIne are 80% cotton/15% modal/5% PU -- they're "The Legging" "super skinny." Mine have real pockets though -- labeled as jeans, not leggings, FWIW. I hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-all-coated-denim#post-1390366 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 03:29:19 +0000 bj1111 1390366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>does coated denim stretch?</p> <p>i got two sizes of the ag leatherette jeans. &nbsp;the larger size front panel&nbsp;droops a smidge at the crotch but the legs fit. &nbsp;the smaller size give a bit of a muffin top and the legs are SNUG. &nbsp;if they stretch, the smaller size&nbsp;would&nbsp;be the ideal. &nbsp;</p> <p>advice? </p>
