What is this "Soft Stretch" Denim? TSV?

tototwo — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 11:47:41 GMT

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.

I had the same thought.

A knockoff of Dream Jeannes fabric?

I think their "How Comfy" line is the Dream Jeannes equivalent (knit french terry).

I agree with you jonbon. I don't have a good sense for the fabrication of these new jeans but I didn't get the impression they were a faux denim french terry.

@MarthaStewardess I still have my straight leg Levis and love them as well. I do have room in my world for a little stretch but love having both.

I see that these are made of cotton/poly/spandex (61/35/4) and DreamJeannes are of cotton/span only (96/4) and the copy clearly says DreamJeannes are knit.

The only lining in these is what Gary called the "pocket" lining that instead of just being limited to the pocket, covers from the side seam to the front zipper. He didn't say it goes down the leg so I believe it only goes across the tummy area.

If I were a betting person, I'd say the fabric is woven. I am pretty sure if they were knit, they would be saying that every five minutes.

I wanted and ordered the charcoal, two pairs, and a burgundy but after seeing them on Rachel, who is about the same size as I am, I didn't like how they puckered at the inner thigh seams and they seemed like lint magnets as well when they showed close-up shots of the burgundy on the hanger so I cancelled the order. I looked at them on everyone else too and though nice and straight and close fitting, they all puckered or wore badly on any of the models!

I can guess this is their answer to Diane Gilman. These are knit jeans or fake jeans. 60% cotton, the rest polyester. Along with an elastic waist. I only buy premium jeans so I have no idea exactly what this is. My jeans are all cotton with 2% spandex. This is the nearest thing to skinny jeans. Since QVC does not sell them, these are tame version and are called slim jeans. The leg opening is bigger.

I'm with you, still love my old Levis and still fit into them too. They are starting to get pretty worn now, must be at least 10 years now. I will always be a Levi girl. don't think they make this style anymore, at least I can't find it. Have no idea why my font change. Knit jeans just don't appeal to me.
