The TRs! Are you in the least surprised?

And I admire your goal of no duplication. I should contemplate that as a goal.
OK, so I'm not going to be much help. I love the way my TRs fit - they are not distressed jeans, they are summer weight jeans, but I love everything about them - the waist, the slouchyness (is that a word?), the length, etc. So I went back to the TR outlet store last Sat. to try the BF Camerons, and the jeans were mostly....get this....all over the floor! Yep. $100+ jeans thrown on tables and thrown all over the floor. That's taking distressed to a level I don't want to go to! So I went to the Gap and bought two pairs of SBF jeans. They were on hangers
I'm soooo late to this thread but wanted to pop in and say I'm glad you are keeping the TR's - they look AMAZING on you and you know the quality is fab.
Rae, thanks for sharing your thought process with us - its fun and HELPFUL to see not just the great jeans, but how you thought it through.

Til death do you two part, enjoy!
I'm a bit late with this, but I think you should keep the TR's. You look so happy in them!
I realize it's late and said and done, but I really like the TRs on you - I think they're far and away better. Enjoy them!
