Tanya found some great skinny microchecks a while back, and they've gone on sale. I ordered a pair and with the 20% off sale discount, they came to $47 (from $98 original price). I hope they fit! They are called "check skinny pant" on http://www.armaniexchange.com.

Thanks Laura. I have a pair of Armani X skinny jeans and 2 pair of clamdiggers that I love.
I didn't see the checked pants. Are they sold out already?

I hope they fit you too Laura, they look fantastic. I hadn't heard of microcheck before this forum and havn't seen it on sale yet in the UK.

They are still there san. They are called Check Skinny Pant. I'm going to give them a shot; hopefully the rise isn't too low. Thanks laura for the heads up!

I can’t find them :0(

I have Armani items too and the fit is very good for a certain body type.

At least I think those are the one we are talking about

Angie, what body type are you thinking? I have a suspicion they'd fit great on long lean types (e.g., not me), but nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I tried on their skinny jeans in store (the check skinny pants are only available online) and was very surprised that they fit. I would have guessed that the skinny pants wouldn't fit an hourglass/pear type figure -- so here's hoping these pants are cut similarly. (Holding thumbs!).

Thanks! Sweet check pants!

Armani usually fits a less curvy gal. Sandy and I have a similarly straighter body shape, which is why it comes as no surprise that their items are a good fit for us.

However, Laura had luck with their jeans so go for it :0)

(By the way, I just go my new J Brand zippered skinnies – the same ones you saw in my blog post a few weeks ago. I am finished for how fabulous they are. I can’t believe how well they fit and how comfy the zipper part is).

Laura

I ordered these yesterday! I really hope they fit

Oh, LauraN, you'll have to post a photo if they work!

Angie, I'm chuckling here to myself because I tried on a pair of the JBrand skinny zippered jeans in a store and they were an absolute fiasco on me!! Seriously I refused to even step out of the dressing room. Back to the old drawing board (aka David Kahn). Hope to see them on you some day!!

I love the fit of J Brand jeans, and the zip-ankle skinnies are so tempting! Wonder if the 29" inseam would be too long for me though :(. Can't wait to see you model them Angie!

Oh Laura! I’m sorry the J Brand zippered jeans didn’t work out. But your DK’s look fabulous so no worries!

Cathy, I wore them all day today. They feel like butter on my body. SO comfy. I left the zipper part open and the vent cascading over my ankle. It makes me smile. I am IN LOVE.

The inseam is 32 inches and it works really well for my leg length. They are exactly the same length on me as you see on the model in the photo.

Banana Republic has zippered jeans too, but they weren’t long enough on me and the zips were much shorter. You should try those Cathy. Laura, you too!

They sound great Angie! I love the look with the zips open.

I was actually looking at this pair with a 29" inseam (which I guess is the ankle length version of the ones you posted?):

So those might work for me. And I will definitely check out the BR ones too!

(sorry for hijacking your thread laura!)

Oh! You should give those a bash too, Cathy!

No worries about thread hijacking! I too was set on getting zippered jeans, but I discovered a new pair of DK skinnies instead. That will be my consolation prize.

I did try the BR ones, but they were way too short -- they ended at my ankle (even in the full-length version). The zipper itself was really short - the nice thing about JBrand was how long the zipper was. Oh well!! Glad they work for Angie and maybe you too, Cathy!

Laura...what style of DK jeans did you end up getting? I haven't tried them on yet but I will be close to a Nordstrom over Labor Day weekend and was wanting to try on some jeans.

The DK skinnies aren't at Nordstrom -- I found a little boutique in Texas that carries a million DK styles and the owner is super. It's http://www.lombardsboutique.com. You can email Carole with questions or call. She can get almost anything you want from DK's warehouse. She even has the Nikki twisted seam jeans with the flap pocket on the back!
