RAISE YOUR HAND OR NOD TO YOURSELF IN QUIET RECOGNITION IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE WAIST GAP. The jeans that fit adequately in the thighs and butt comfortably, but create a large gap around the waist. Extra fabric that gathers and is in need of either alteration or a belt. Both are just more costs on top of the purchase of the jeans.
The perfect pair of jeans are heaven on the body, hugging every curve, comfortable, get better with every wash and can be worn daily. Not always the most easy to find however. We decided to try a brand, new to us that has an excellent reputation, ethical supply chain and sustainably sourced using both eco-friendly fibers and clean dyes.
This family owned denim company has invested in self-power generation using a heat recovery system to fuel denim production, no chemicals, and HeiQ Viroblock, which is an anti-microbial treatment that kills germs on contact.
DL1961 jeans are made in-house. Saved a total of almost 9 million gallons of water last year!
Each pair requires less than 10 gallons of water as opposed to the standard 1,500 for other leading jeans.
Remember that even though these jeans are made with people and the planet in mind, purchasing more is less sustainable than wearing the clothes you already own. If you need to make repairs or alterations try that option first, especially if you love the item. Thrift shopping is another excellent way to incorporate new to you pieces into your current wardrobe. Always purchase less if possible.
With that said, let’s discuss the fit. For the purposes of this review, we tried the BRIDGET BOOT: HIGH RISE INSTASCULPT 33″ made with Lycra, Tencel and recycled trimming. The trademarked instasculpt technology is said to “smooth, sculpt, and conform to your body for the perfect fit.”
Well they were not lying. Simply put, these jeans do in fact smooth, sculpt, and conform to the body creating the perfect fit.
This is the denim brand to beat. A brand so good that in the midst of a pandemic when loungewear and pajamas are the staples, these jeans may very well enter into the weekly wardrobe rotation!
