WSJ: Fit, Fit, Fit

Just a brief article in the WSJ about jeans and getting that "amazing" fit without paying hundreds of dollars a pair. Yes, unsurprisingly, along with the economy, the demand for $200+ jeans that claim to fit well and make certain body parts look great has gone down. Stores like the Gap and Ann Taylor Loft have engineered jeans to try and capture the "premium denim" market with lines of jeans for different fits, such as curvy or real straight --- all at more affordable prices. Some tweaks include starting the boot-leg cut just below the knee rather than at the knee to help elongate the leg; waistbands that don't gape when you sit down; and enhancing the back with tilted pockets and an altered back seam. I need to check these out to see if they really do fit differently from my usual jeans.
