Sorry to say, I am still noodling over Kut Catherine jeans. I also apologize that in the new YLF format, I don't know how to ETA to an initial post so started this new one.

After my initial post, I was confused, so I had planned to send them both back and forget about it for the year. I was too busy to deal with it. Then I hauled them out again to re-look.

Here’s where I made progress: after reflection, the 6 is more slim than I want overall and makes me feel a bit mutton-lamby or something. Like it’s not quite trouser enough to fit like a trouser jean, and in a white color, a close fit is less forgiving than in a dark jean. The 8 feels so “easy” on, and feels more like a summer pant should—not binding—and so would feel cooler, though of course neither is a hot August barbecue pant—they’re for air-conditioned environs in summer or outdoors in milder weather.

However, I really shudder at the rear view of the 8--that’s my main hang-up, I think, but then, it is what it is, and I’m not sure the 6 is fooling anyone there, in white, at least. The saggy bottom is something I thought I was supposed to avoid, as in the chino’s from my previous life. If I wear these I wonder if I'm being influenced by the newer looser looks into letting my guard down when I should still be protecting my rear!

I have been trying to wear them lower and they seem to not stay there—I only have one belt that’s long enough to belt more loosely.

Since I’m still a bit befoozled about liking part of the 6 fit and part of the 8 fit I was wondering if that means the style is just not right. Another brand or another style in the Kuts? But I don’t have energy for much white pant shopping this year, and so it’s either send back or use as an experiment for the heck of it. Does that mean I don’t love them enough and need to be more PPP ? Or just that I’m pushing my envelope and might learn something ?

I have some blue Kut Catherine’s coming as a test to see if it’s the color vs. the style.

I need to be hit in the head or something.
