A251140 Denim & Co Active French Terry. Why in the world put so much Spandex in this? I like it, it comes in Petite but I can't handle all that Spandex. And it's so very unnecessary. Cotton has it's own give and stretch. It does not need spandex to help it. Particularly in a casual garment like this.

@Whosits I agree! I can see 1 or 2% spandex, maybe, but **5**?? I've seen a couple of D&C tops I was considering but not with that much Spandex!

I am surprised by the price-$32.48 +s&h as well as the quality of that D&C product-A251140. I can find the same thing at a much lower price at Tar-jé all cotton and/or polyester.
Amazon - $29.50 FREE shipping & a lot of colors.

Most D&C has about 5% Spandex. Cotton has "give" and stretches but does not return to original size, it just stretches out. With Spandex, the garment retains its shape.

Thanks @Mz iMac , but I'll stick with the quality of D&C. My shirts go on for years until I give them away because I get tired of them. I'm tired if the dubious quality I get from Amazon s third party sellers.

Don't get me wrong @Kachina624 . I love D&C. Love their casual styles. Just not A251140 quality & price. Looks "cheap."
FWIW I have A211539 in every color except white.
EDIT: The tunic from Amazon is NOT from a 3rd party.

Completely over spandex. Seems to appear often in thinner knits. It does not hold up.

@Mz iMac I don't know what the difference is because they appear identical, but I own many of A251145. I ordered my first one in 2014, and am still wearing all of them. It's my winter "go to". Here's my original review. It now comes in petites too. I also like A211539 but learned to order down a size.

@Still Raining The weight seems to depend on whether you order a short sleeve summer shirt or a long sleeve winter weight. Mine hold up through years of laundering just fine.

I take your point, but I'm okay with it. I think 95% cotton is a good mix, and I find the spandex helps the pants keep their shape and color through the day, and also through years (and years) of laundering.
And I LOVE the Active line in D&C, especially in pants. They are just about the only pants on QVC that have a short enough front and back rise so I don't have to roll the waist or have them drooping at the crotch.
These particular joggers also have a full length inseam, an option I appreciate since lots of joggers are a couple of inches shorter. I'll keep buying these as long as they keep making them.
