And I've gained weight).</p> <p>My current pair -- purchased over Memorial Day -- do NOT bag. I pulled them out of the wash, threw them on at their "obscene" tightness, and went to work thinking everything would be fine by the time I was done with my morning coffee. HUGE MISTAKE; I felt so unfab all day long :(. The label reads the same (ie, material content), so I don't know what happened. Like the other ladies here, I wash on cold, inside out, and never put them in the dryer.</p> <p>My advice is to take them home, and wear them around the house for a few hours to see how they perform. To my eye, the dark wash is casually dressy ... and 50% off is a pretty good deal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-real-straight-jeans-worth-it#post-658744 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 15:46:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 658744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're worth but definitely agree with merman - wash in cold and hang to dry. I do that with my Gap L&amp;Ls and they don't bag out at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-real-straight-jeans-worth-it#post-658740 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 15:39:17 +0000 Anonymous 658740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have these, but I'd love to see you in straight leg jeans Kirti. I bet you would rock them. My Gap outlet jeans stretch out a fair amount. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-real-straight-jeans-worth-it#post-658683 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 13:56:11 +0000 nicoleb 658683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My patchwork jeans are the real straights and i love them (though that could be solely because of the patches lol). I don't think they stretch a ton. I can usually get away with wearing mine twice before i need to wash to shrink them back to where they need to go...</p> <p>ETA: Also if you're sure of their fit (i found them very TTS) you should search on Ebay. Not sure what the price is with a 50% sale but i found mine for like $20 NWTs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-real-straight-jeans-worth-it#post-658674 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:48:45 +0000 merwoman 658674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go for it Kirti - especially at 50% off. I don't have Gap real straights - but I think I have just about everything else. I find the key thing ismaintenance - wash in cold water and air dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-real-straight-jeans-worth-it#post-658058 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:11:29 +0000 Kirti 658058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on the Gap real straight jeans today and they fit well. They are currently 50% off so not too expensive either. Should I get them? Do these stretch out a lot? Are they worth it? I would love some advice from those who have tried these jeans. </p>
