What is this "Soft Stretch" Denim? TSV?

tototwo · ‎03-09-2010

I've only seen one presentation of the TSV. What is the "soft stretch" fabric? Is it a denim that's lined in knit? The lining is black. Is the outer fabric a denim or a twill? Honestly, it's hard to tell from the presentation and they talked more about inseams and shape than they did the fabric.

I look better in a stovepipe, straight-leg jean than a bootcut, so I'm interested. Seems like all I can find in the local stores are bootcut these days. I'm interested in the fit of the jeans, but don't understand what the fabric is.

Can anyone here help?

Thank you.

I agree... not enough info on the fabric! I'm also scratching my head trying to figure it out. Is it really a "new" fabric?? I also hope it's not a lint magnet like some of the other Q denim pants.

Thank you, ciao-bella. Apparently, you and I aren't the only ones perplexed by this fabric since no one else has responded.

I'm interested, too, but there are no belt loops. I find with stretch jeans the waist often streches out and I need to use a belt to keep them up. So I'm concerned about the lack of belt loops. I think I'd better wait for others to try them and read their reviews.

I know I am in the minority, but I hate all the stetch in jeans!

I only speculating, but the TSV fabric sounds like the Quacker Factory Dream Jeannes fabric to me.

I hadn't thought about the waist band stretching out - that's a good point, nomless!

Martha Stewardess, I wore the old thick, unmovable denim Levi stovepipe jeans (510's? 501's?) for 20 years. It took me a long time to get used to stretchy jeans, but now I like them. But, if these TSV's are lined in a knit, I'm not interested.

I love my old Levis. I'm glad I can still fit into them, lol, and they last forever.
