I was a strong JJ customer years ago and most particularly like their Wearever line of pants. I still have some and they've held up like iron, pull on pants with a flat waistband that fit like trousers.
I went off of the brand sometime pre-2020 and except for the pants no longer have anything from there. Earlier this winter the catalogs started looking interesting again and I was wanting to replace the old pants. Wow, total fail! Granted, these weren't Wearever, for reasons I forget, but labeled as ponte so I thought they'd be okay. Nope! They were heavy, stiff and had a puckered elastic waistband. The quality did not come close to that of the old days. So, I'm back off the brand again.
