Red pants

I can't remember who was looking for them but Anna linked to some. I believe this is one of the pairs at a much better price on eBay. Returns within 7 days. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rick-Skinn.....7b67e30bd4

Me me me! I am looking for some. Thanks, these look really great. Except, I am very hard to fit on the bottom, I cannot buy pants without trying them on.

Bella, perhaps take a look at the measurements provided. They did a really good job of specifying exact measurements on each size. I have always had a pair of red pants in some form on hand and my velvet Express Editors might be nearing expiration by now. Maybe I should be keeping my eyes open for a replacement pair, as well

I'm also looking for some!
I actually scored a pair very similar to these--but corduroy skinny jeans (in bright red) from the Gap for about $15. They are a weekend staple and now I'm on the hunt for some wool lined ones that I can wear to the office with heels/heeled boots!

Like these (but in my size):

Auburn, I saw the Gap ones too late - they were down to the odd sizes. Do they keep their shape well or bag at the knee or rear? I also debated the Kut from the Kloth cords. But now that season has passed for me . . .

Malina, I lucked out--the Gap ones I found were stashed in a messy sale rack and were the only ones there. They were a 6 Long and although I normally take a 4 (or even 2) in Gap jeans, these fit great--fitted through the leg but not PAINTED on, which I decided wouldn't be a great look in red pants! So it may be worth trying on an odd size if you find them in store! I've noticed a BIT of bagging at the waist, but nothing dramatic. They are mega mood-improvers just because of the color alone!
I bet we'll see some of the big stores coming out with cotton/chino versions for the spring...

I was looking as well, I'm definitely going to check out the pair you linked! I also picked up a Gap cord pair which is in the mail but am unsure if it'll fit me, especially after reading Auburn's review (I had to size down due to lack of availability and it looks like sizing UP was the way to go, doh!).

I have the gap skinny cords too. I love them. I had to size up in them to make room for my amble hips and bum, I guess, and they are way big in the waist because of it. But, I just belt mine and they are fine. You could have a tailor take them in at the waist too. They hold their shape much better than my Gap jeans do. I think they are really flattering too. You should try a pair, Mo.

In even my wildest dream I can't fit a 0, 00, or 16 or 18. That's what's left Maybe I could buy Aida's off her if they end up one size too small!

Mo I got them in a 2P, which "buttons up" in other Gap pants I've tried, but generally a 4 is much more comfy Will let you know what I find when they get to me!

Thanks! I'm not sure a 2 would fit me either but I appreciate the sentiment! These 36 1/2" hips call the shots

Thanks, Malina. I didn't need red pants, but now I want them! I would like a cotton/chino version spring/summer.

I saw Gap skinny cords too late, too. I have no idea what size I am in Gap jeans, but I am pretty sure I am not a 00!!!
I think I want a skinny denim pair, it would be the most versatile for me. I am going to look at H&M this weekend.

Bella, I agree with you that denim/twill would be the most versatile. I wanted to snag the cord pair to tide me over until I found another pair hehe
