I like the jeans just as much as the ponte knit pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520941 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:57:31 +0000 Angie 520941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This makes me so angry :(</p> <p>I hope that the lighter wash works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520907 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:29:13 +0000 Isabel 520907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup..they have changed drastically. I ordered a couple of pairs : the real straight and the skinnies, the denim was much thinner and almost seamed fragile and the sizing was REALLY inconsistent. I was bummed, they were my favorite jeans before the weight gain so I had hoped to duplicate in a larger size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520831 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:24:24 +0000 Anonymous 520831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That stinks. Those were on my list of jeans to try if I ever make it to the Big Mall that has a real Gap (not Gap Outlet). What kind of straight legs did you end up buying? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520432 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:39:06 +0000 rachylou 520432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like they had a supply chain problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520428 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:34:00 +0000 Suz 520428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My research suggests that they are changing fabrications with every batch—or so it would seem.</p> <p> I got my Real Straights in the late fall; they have a bit of poly in them and don't bag. My problem was with the Always Skinnies, which bagged out on me like ...Always Baggies! Eventually I took to putting them in the dryer, which keeps them okay for two wears. </p> <p>SO frustrating. I am glad you found something that works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520415 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:24:56 +0000 rae 520415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I hope they learned their lesson! I will be very disgruntled if they mess with the jeggings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520408 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:18:20 +0000 chewyspaghetti 520408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, I was really bummed out. When I was wearing them I kept thinking they had to have changed them. Luckily I did find another pair of straight jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520371 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:30:28 +0000 catgirl 520371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate it when they mess with something that works! Thanks for the update. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fyi-gap-real-straight-fabrication-change#post-520369 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:29:01 +0000 chewyspaghetti 520369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the Gap Real Straight jeans to try, as Angie recommended. When they came, I put them on to wear for a day to decide if I wanted to keep them. Well, they stretched, bagged, and slipped down over the course of a couple of hours and were uncomfortable. I had read the reviews online before I ordered them, so I went back to the website and sure enough there were several new reviews that said they fabrication of these had been changed, they were not the same, they stretch out, etc. I decided to bring them back in store and found them now on clearance for $15. They are gone from the website already, but I see that they now have a lighter wash- hopefully in a better fabrication. </p>
