New make seems to be stretchier and thinner
These jeans are a favorite pair of mine - I usually get them in 23 - but opted to size up to accommodate some glute gains. Some immediate differences from previous pairs I've purchased vs this pair - bc they're definitely a bit different: - The fabric weight feels lighter and a little stretchier than before. It definitely moves more with my body but it doesn't keep the same lovely structure that I love about these jeans. - The denim also feels a bit thinner - although this may just a difference in stretch, we'll see what happens after a few washes. - The leg doesn't keep its structure as well during your wear - instead of that nice straight shape, it collapses a bit in the calves and shins for me. - This might be an issue with me sizing up and being between sizes - but the next size up feels substantially larger. On the whole - it's still a great jean - I'm really splitting hairs here. But it's not the same jean I used to love!
