The rise is 8 inches on mine. It could be the seller is measuring only to the bottom of the waist band. That could explain it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-desperate-anyone-own-j-brand-skinny-cords#post-466269 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 16:06:07 +0000 Mo 466269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Scarlet! Would you say the rise is low on those cigarette cords? I asked for measurements on the eBay pair but you can't always trust someone's accuracy. 7.25 sounded awfully low to me!<br /> For the moment, I have the Levi's on order in a 5. But if they don't work out, I will see about the J Brands.<br /> Una, I am kinda hooked on dark gray right now. I want something other than black for a neutral to put with my brights, like your beautiful blue sweater. But I could eventually get interested in a burgundy or wine colored pair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-desperate-anyone-own-j-brand-skinny-cords#post-466121 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 08:21:00 +0000 Scarlet 466121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I have dark skinny J's in a 27 that are a little too big and cigarette leg cords from J Brand in 26 that fit perfectly, so I would say they run the same between denim and cords. In any case they both have a fair bit of stretch and tend to be one of the more accommodating jeans if my weight is going up or down a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-desperate-anyone-own-j-brand-skinny-cords#post-466105 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 06:13:33 +0000 catgirl 466105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm okay with cords too! Must they be grey?

I saw some 2 months ago and couldn't find them again. Off to see about ordering a pair to try on . . . yay! <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/levis-jeans-skinny-charcoal-jeggings-corduroy?ID=611583&#038;CategoryID=28754&#038;LinkType=PDPZ1" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....Type=PDPZ1</a></p> <p>And wouldn't you know it? I fall right between 2 sizes, of course. lol. And the discount is just enough to cover the shipping and taxes to bring it right back to MSRP. Too funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-desperate-anyone-own-j-brand-skinny-cords#post-466056 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 04:08:43 +0000 MNsara 466056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But don't spend an arm and leg for them (i.e. JBrand), cords just aren't high fashion - they are the style equivalent of comfort food ;-)</p> <p>I haven't followed your attempts, but have you eliminated Old Navy? Gap?

The Gaps looked too much like regular bootcut cords, of which I have a few pair already. I really want a skinnier or straight leg silhouette. I emailed an ebayer and found the rise on the J Brands as only 7 1/4 - yikes! That won't do. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-desperate-anyone-own-j-brand-skinny-cords#post-465519 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 11:08:30 +0000 Deborah 465519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Mo, can't advise on these, but bumping as I'm sure someone else will know.<br /> Why didn't the gap cords work? I think they look good o. The photo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-desperate-anyone-own-j-brand-skinny-cords#post-465370 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 01:47:45 +0000 Mo 465370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am almost ready to buy some dark gray J Brand cords but I can't return them. I am trying to avoid purchase mistakes, but these pants are sold out and only on eBay at this point. I have J Brand black ankle zip skinny denim jeans. They fit great! But who knows if cords fit like denim, even in the same brand? Help me please!! :)</p> <p>For reference, these are the size 27 black J brands and this is the size 2 (and maybe big at that!) Gap cords that didn't work out. </p>
