Will definitely keep the AGs I also tried on the Hudson Krista, but they just fit oddly on me.</p> <p>Tanya -- Interestingly enough, both of these pairs are machine wash and dry! I'm a little surprised by that -- I'll probably end up doing the AGs in the hand wash cycle and drip drying them.</p> <p>Una -- hm, I have no idea! I have a feeling they are the same thing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859896 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 02:04:30 +0000 CocoLion 859896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The AGs have less folding around the thigh and calf. But otherwise, they look quite similar. You look great in these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859882 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:53:21 +0000 Angie 859882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG's!! </p> <p>KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859777 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:26:12 +0000 catgirl 859777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The AGs. I'll also add that my Rich &amp; Skinny pair (of which I'm neither!) have held up tremendously well and have very little wrinkling. Are coated and waxed the same thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859763 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:20:11 +0000 Tanya 859763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the AG pair. I don't know if you already have some waxed pants and what the care label says, but mine are "dry clean only". I do not mind that per se, but if they do stretch out with wear they will stay like that as dry cleaning wont shrink them back like washing would. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859762 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:19:13 +0000 kellygirl 859762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the AG's too. They look sleeker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859748 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:15:18 +0000 Karie 859748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll just chime in to say I also prefer the AG pair - the JBrand's have a little too much fabric that bunches out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859391 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:58:10 +0000 cciele 859391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae -- that makes sense about the creases!</p> <p>Janet -- Ooo, thanks for the pics. I like the jeans with that coat! Are those the blackberry color of the jeans? I got the color by accident (thought I ordered black) but I quite like them.</p> <p>Zap -- no worries Your comments are helpful as is. I did order my normal size at first but honestly they were really uncomfortable, even after wearing around a bit. I'm with you on not oversizing skinnies -- they just start fitting really funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859383 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:49:49 +0000 Anonymous 859383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really cannot make out the details. I am of zero help. </p> <p>My fifty is that you should go for your normal size. I actually posted a similar question a few days ago, and ended up reordering in my normal size. I have determined I am not keen on oversizing skinny jeans (or anything else for that matter), unless they were cut to be intentionally oversized. I know I am in the minority. I prefer to wear the item as it was intended at the design stage and I do not manipulate fit by sizing up or down. It feels odd to me.</p> <p>I would say wear them for a while, and see if they start stretching too much.</p> <p>Janet, I love your outfit. Sadly, I returned my coat so I cannot replicate. The cut was to boxy for me. It was not flattering from the side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859338 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:18:46 +0000 Janet 859338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy, here's one outfit with the waxed jeans. </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-new-jcrew-coat-and-the-coated-jeans" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ated-jeans</a></p> <p>(I'm wearing that coat today and have already gotten compliments on it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859319 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:06:22 +0000 rae 859319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pretty sure most all pants wrinkle at the back thigh because of the ease for movement. Even when they are tight, you get the crease, only the crease cuts into the leg making it look like a cased sausage. This does not look to be an issue in either of these at all. I think I prefer the AGs because the J Brands seem to have much more fabric in the wrinkle area that kind of puffs out to the side. </p> <p>Great to see Janet has experience with the stretching - I don't know how thick yours are, but IME thin waxed denim looks kind of weird bagged out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859310 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:59:22 +0000 cciele 859310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bj -- thanks, a superfab butt is always a goal :)</p> <p>Janet -- Have you posted pics of your AGs here? I'm going to poke around. I think this finish is the most leatherlike out of all the wax-coated jeans I've seen. Good note about the stretching -- they are pretty comfortable as is. And your thighs are not big, from what I've seen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859211 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:41:19 +0000 Janet 859211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the AG pair too. I think those are the same AGs that I have. Caution, they do not stretch out as much as I thought they might -- contrary to what the SA told me, they barely stretched at all. Mine wrinkle/crease at the back too, but I thought that was just because my thighs are big. That is clearly not an issue for you, so I guess it's just what they do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859199 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:31:58 +0000 bj1111 859199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i get the wrinkling too, but i don't mind as long as the front view and the side butt view are flattering.</p> <p>i have a tiny preference for the ag because it fits better at the back waist and makes your butt look superfab with less bunching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choosefit-waxed-skinnies#post-859193 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:30:05 +0000 cciele 859193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, in contrast to the silhouette of the Leith pants, I'm interested in exploring waxed skinnies.</p> <p>Not sure about the fit of the ones I've tried on. They tend to wrinkle/crease, particularly in the back area, and I don't know whether that's normal but I'm just noticing it more because the waxed-jean fabric is stiffer than regular denim, or if it's a matter of sizing and fit.</p> <p>The jeans in these photos are a size up from my normal size. I suspect the pants will stretch out a bit after wear.</p> <p>1-3: AG Leatherette<br /> 4-6: J Brand 901</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
