I tried on white straightleg jeans by Ralph Lauren and couldn't believe how well they fit me in the waist and hips. Of course, they were a couple inches too short for my long legs, but everything else about them fit so incredibly well. When I tried them, my weight was up a couple pounds and I couldn't even tell in the mirror with those jeans. I would have been so happy to give Ralph Lauren money for them, if only they were available in a tall. It was kind of painful to leave them behind.
So do any of you resourceful Fabbers know of a jeans brand which fits similarly to Ralph Lauren and is available in a long (36") inseam?
