The fabric is nice and for the price, I won't worry about wearing them for day to day activities. I would recommend them.</p> <p>I haven't worn them around the house yet but plan to this week so I will let you know if my opinion changes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53256 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:52:33 +0000 Angie 53256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have plenty of clients in white bootcut DK jeans and they look fabulous. Extremely nice quality and fab cut for the curvier botty and thigh area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53242 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:14:42 +0000 Laura 53242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay Angie, message received loud and clear!! :)</p> <p>Patience, do you own any DKs? For sizing, I'd tend to go a tad bigger on these Nikki skinny jeans - I am trying the 6 (28) in them, but in their normal bootcut style I go with a 4 (27). They work fabulously well in disguising whatever pear-like tendencies I have ... </p> <p>Dani, have you come to any conclusions on the M &#38; O jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53232 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 16:11:37 +0000 Patience 53232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I'm so glad the DK's work for you. Keep and wear! They didn't have my size in store either but now you have got me wanting to try them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53218 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 15:22:52 +0000 Angie 53218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, HANG ONTO THE WHITE DK's! You look wonderful in that brand and white jeans are timeless. You are sorted :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53213 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 15:11:37 +0000 Laura 53213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our Nordstrom didn't have the white David Kahns in store, so last week I wound up ordering them and of course they fit perfectly (figures!). So far, I am holding on to them without wearing them as I debate whether or not I can justify the purchase. DK seems to always be the best fit - I also own COH Elsons and they just don't look as good on me as DKs do. </p> <p>Maybe I should just bite the bullet and keep them. As Angie says, if a little one smears banana on them, well, that's why God made washing machines </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53184 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 04:35:49 +0000 marianne 53184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I bet they will stretch out. Maybe you can wear them around the house for a bit? My white J Crews stretched out a lot, especially after washing. But I have no experience with M+O, so I am no help - but I am also kind of tempted after your reports, considering the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53122 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:46:37 +0000 Dani 53122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the update, Patience. I actually got my shipment today and I'm having a hard time deciding what to do. The denim is nice and feels good and the rise is decent. My problem is I'm between sizes...one size fits great everywhere but the waist is too large and the size down is a little snug but the waist fits great. I'm curious if anyone knows, do they stretch out any or should I go with the larger size and get the waist altered?</p> <p>In my dream world (no kids or chance of errant unexpected stains) I would love to try these on as well as I'm pretty sure this is similar to the straight leg jeans I LOVE...<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3006083/0~2376776~2374327~2376057~2379941?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2379941&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....1&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>I will have to do some major stalking before I can justify this pair of jeans I'll be curious to hear your report on the Kahns, Patience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-53101 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 18:47:17 +0000 Patience 53101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went and tried these jeans in store the other day. I didn't have a tape measure, but I tried both the slim style and the straight leg. I found the rise to be ~8-8 1/2 inches. The slim leg opening was probably 12-13" and the straight was 14-15." The fabric is nicely stretchy. Both pairs taper to the knee. They actually didn't have my size in the straight leg so I went ahead and ordered them. I figure for $50 it's worth a try. I've been wondering if premium is not necessarily better for white jeans. Having said that, I did spot these which I plan to try in store as well:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3027140?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=david+kahn+in+All+Categories&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52702 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:07:53 +0000 Laura 52702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that 9" rise sounds just perfect, and 8.25" isn't bad either! Good luck, Ill be looking forward to hearing whether or not they work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52700 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:02:01 +0000 Dani 52700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I ordered the bootcut (because they come in long) and I ordered the straight leg too (to see if I can stretch the length, I really need 33" to 34" inseam but I might be able to fudge with a straight leg). </p> <p>The rise is in the size chart that's kind of difficult to find...the osa rise (bootcut) is 8.25 inches and the classic rise (straight leg) is 9". That's why I went ahead an ordered the straight leg anyway. I will be keeping my fingers crossed until the UPS package shows up on my doorstep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52697 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:58:42 +0000 Laura 52697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which ones did you order? Here's hoping they work!</p> <p>The straight leg jean appears to have a slightly higher rise (although they didn't give measurements). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52695 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:50:19 +0000 Dani 52695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just ordered some so I'll report back when they arrive. Thanks for all the input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52617 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:27:09 +0000 Angie 52617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are not bad at all. I have a few clients running around in those and no complaints so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52543 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:56:42 +0000 Dani 52543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, interesting! I tried on J Crew white bootcuts yesterday but they were a little too sheer for my taste. I'm curious about the M&#38;O jeans now...</p> <p>Laura, great score! I'm on the hunt for clams as my family is going to Disney and I don't want to worry about yanking my matchsticks up all day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52515 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 21:13:10 +0000 shana 52515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on the skinny cords &#38; jeans back in the fall and they seemed great. The rise was a bit low for me so I bought a pair of the bootcut cords which have held up really well. I really like the quality and styles at this store - just wish they offered more for petites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52489 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:03:29 +0000 carissa 52489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a friend who is swearing by her Martin &#38; Osa jeans, loving them all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52488 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:49:39 +0000 Laura 52488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, I don't have an answer but will be watching your thread as the search for white jeans continues!</p> <p>I did find a fantastic pair of cropped dark denim pants by Halogen at Nordstrom Rack this weekend, and I'll have them shorted to clamdigger length. They cost $7! So at least I have one pair of bottoms for spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/martin-038-osa-jeans#post-52464 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 17:38:59 +0000 Dani 52464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone have any experience with these jeans? I was curious if they stretch and how they wear. They have straight leg white jeans and skinny white jeans and the price is decent. </p> <p>Thanks for any feedback!</p> <p><a href="http://www.martinandosa.com/web/browse/category.jsp?catId=cat40023" rel="nofollow">http://www.martinandosa.com/we.....d=cat40023</a> </p>
