It is possible that the style you have will not rub off on other things, I hope.<br /> We did have a few cases of dye wearing off onto other things, here on the forum, but not too many. This in a couple of years, and all of the new denim discussed is not too bad of a percentage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120345 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:38:59 +0000 Tanya 120345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Jenny! Can't wait to see the photos. Premium denim is addictive, I warn you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120335 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 01:50:50 +0000 Debora 120335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on finding the perfect pair of jeans, Jenny! I've never tried David Kahn's and now you've gotten me curious. I'll have to make a trip to Nordies. Boy Toy sounds very sweet, btw! Can't wait to see the pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120333 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 01:42:40 +0000 JennyK (NC) 120333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew! Thanks for being my virtual pals!</p> <p>Thanks too for the sweet comments about my style of writing and personality... I am a ... er ... quirky person for sure! LOL!</p> <p>The inseam is a bit longer than I'd estimated. I measured it at home and it's 35.5, which is good for wearing them with the ~3" heels I typically wear, but they'll be too long for flats. </p> <p>I took various and assorted pics of myself in them, featuring my miraculously lifted and separated tush (or is lift and separate meant exclusively for bosoms?), only to discover that the SD card wasn't in the camera and I don't have the cord here to transfer them from camera memory to computer. </p> <p>Booooo!!!! </p> <p>Now the pictures will have to wait 'til the weekend. Le sigh.</p> <p>Thanks for the dye suggestions. I'm rather annoyed that I could buy jeans marked at close to $200 and have warnings about the dye coming off. Rubbish! Rubbish, I say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120237 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:11:47 +0000 Inge 120237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are going to look SOOO good on you Jenny!! And such a fantastic price too!!<br /> I bet you've already thought of all the ways you are going to wear them;-)</p> <p>(I second the soaking in vinegar suggestion). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120231 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:41:26 +0000 Debbie 120231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeeny-I'm excited for you can't wait to see you in them! Rinse them in vinegar as suggested it really does work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120122 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 14:38:38 +0000 Kristine 120122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yey for you!

But a vinegar rinse sorts them out, no trouble at all after that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120082 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:55:42 +0000 RoseandJoan 120082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny, I love to read your posts you have such an infectious enthusiasm for life and style. I'm excited to see your jeans in action and imagine the flair will balance your beautiful curves perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120075 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 06:28:16 +0000 AJ 120075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah Jenny!! Finding fabulous fitting jeans is no small task and you were able to do it in minutes! I'm going to have to check this brand out since so many people gave it good reviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120012 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 02:14:03 +0000 Carole 120012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny, we are jean twins, well sort of! I'm 5'9 also and need 34" inseams, I have a pair of D K's and love them...I recently bought a pair of ATL slims and the ink was rubbing off all over my hands, they told me to soak in white vinegar to set the color then wash! Seems to have worked for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-120002 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:56:51 +0000 Angie 120002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo! You will LOVE your DK's, Jenny. They are so beautifully made and comfy to wear - plus they look hot AND last. A timeless classic in my book. </p> <p>I can't wait to see pics :0)</p> <p>(And you are delightfully adorable. Love your happy bubbly persona on this forum). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119987 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:26:47 +0000 Anonymous 119987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on finding your jeans!

Next time I am looking for jeans I will be trying the DK's. </p> <p>Yes, they could rub on on white upholstery, but where I ran into a problem was denim dye rubbing off on my cream colored purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119937 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:13:26 +0000 MNsara 119937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats, Jenny!

Can't wait to see pictures! I find it really irritating that almost all jeans (including the ones you bought) are sold as "low rise." It makes it really hard to weed out the really low-rise from the actually mid-rise.</p> <p>Congrats - I'm still working on finding my ideal pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119917 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:26:44 +0000 elpgal 119917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great Jenny. I am as Angie would say champing at the bit to get to Nordstrom and try out all these jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119915 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:22:09 +0000 marianna 119915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your boyfriend sounds amazing. Mine is a total pain to shop with and absolutely hates going the mall with me. Let's trade? ;)</p> <p>Anyway, woo hoo for premium denim! You'll never buy ordinary denim again. I wash all my jeans together in one load, and turn them inside out. That seems to keep them nice and dark.</p> <p>I'm surprised that a 34" inseam is long enough for you to wear with heels! Your legs look sooooo long. What inseam do you wear with flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119896 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:06:21 +0000 Maya 119896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five Jenny! There is something magical about David Kahns. Everyone on the forum who tries them loves them, despite all having different body types. I might have to try them too at some point. Anyway, I know how stressed out you were about this and I'm so thrilled it was that easy for you. I have a very round and high rump on me so I know how you feel about all those allegedly curvy styles--all way too low!</p> <p>The vinegar thing Shana mentioned should do it. Usually I don't have to wash more than once though. </p> <p>Now, more importantly, does your bf have a younger brother/cousin/nephew/other young male relative? Because I could sure use an enabler like that in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119895 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:05:47 +0000 shana 119895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo! Congrats, Jenny! I've heard that soaking in white vinegar can help "set" the dye on fabrics that might bleed. You could probably google the recipe or maybe someone else will chime in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119894 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:03:52 +0000 chewyspaghetti 119894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Jenny!<br /> I just scored my first pair of premium denim, and it's David Kahn too. Now that you know what you like and what fits- you can check ebay for bargains. I got my (used) Lauren's for $35. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jennys-first-pair-of-premium-denim-jeans#post-119893 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:59:57 +0000 JennyK (NC) 119893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Warning - I am a talker and this turned out to be way longer than I'd originally intended. Gold stars for anyone able to read the whole thing!</p> <p>Oh my gosh I am so excited guys! </p> <p>I bought my first pair of premium denim!!!!!</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3003496" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3003496</a></p> <p>I need your help in celebrating because I don't have any buddies to be thrilled about this with me.</p> <p>The whole weekend I've been lamenting that I really wanted to take advantage of the 6pm.com $69.95 sale on La Canadiennes, but that I wasn't sure what size to get because I'd never tried them on. Last night Boy Toy said, "Let's go up to Nordstrom's so you can try on a couple of pairs and get a feel."</p> <p>He's so sweet :-)</p> <p>So we drive all the way up there (it's like 40 miles from the house) at 8 p.m. I'm told they don't have any at all. Boo! I felt terrible that I'd dragged him all the way up there for nothing and then he says ... wait for it ... </p> <p>"Why don't we go look at the jeans? They're closing soon, so you won't be able to try on more than a few pairs, and that way you won't have time to get too overwhelmed."</p> <p>Is this guy a keeper or what??</p> <p>I tried on CoH Amber, CoH Ava, Joe's Honey. All were thumbs down. Amber's rise way too low. Honey's rise WAY too low. Ava rise ok, but then gapped a lot.</p> <p>The good news was the length. All had 34" inseams, which were enough for me to wear them with high heels no problem!</p> <p>I was feeling slightly frustrated, but then the sales girl told me to go to a different section and try David Kahn. </p> <p>They had only 2 or 3 pairs, and they were on the clearance rack. Fortunately, they had a size 29. I tried them on and nearly fainted.</p> <p>We have a winner!!!!! My booty looked especially luscious, the length was such that I may actually have to have them hemmed, the rise was just right, and the gap was tiny to nonexistent. </p> <p>They were priced at $174 but were on sale for $115. I didn't even hesitate.</p> <p>They are a flare boot cut, very slim in the thigh with a nice flare below the knee. </p> <p>They are a sytle called Nikki bootcut and the wash is "capri."</p> <p>I am alarmed about something though... There is a warning on the tag that they use extra dye for this wash and that it may rub off on furniture and clothing! I washed them twice this morning (all by themselves) in cold water and have them hanging to dry. Will that be sufficient? Do I need to wash them alone all the time?</p> <p>As soon as they dry I'll put them on and post pictures. If these hold up well, I'll look for them in other styles too. </p>
