So, I've been surfing the net (checking out the Q's overseas sites) and low and behold there is HSN's Diane Gilman and her jeans.  Styles are similar on the UK site and not nearly as many offerings as HSN US.

There is one commonality among the two sites though:  Diane Gilman's jeans are ****** in the UK and they are ****** in the US.  I sat and read the same kinds of comments about fit; sizing inconsistencies and more.  I did not read anything about the chemical smell that comes from her pants sold in the US though, so that has me thinking the UK won't allow these chemicals in their garments, but she can get away with it for her US market.

Welp,I want to know why the two biggest shopping channels keep her employed with those jeans?

I like DG jeans. They are one of the few brands that works for me. I've never had any problem with odors from her jeans either.

You're one of the 100 lucky ones out of the thousands who aren't so lucky.

Hi itiswhatitis!

A friend of our's works on one of the docks on the west coast.

He said, It is the law, that any clothes made outside the United States that are coming into our country (The USA) everything is sprayed.  They are very heavely sprayed before leaving their country say China, before it is even placed onto a cargo ship.

He told my husband and I, to wash EVERYTHING before ever wearing.  He said your would be surprised the chemicals that they use.

I keep telling my friends this but I don't think they believe me.  I do wash everything before I wear it.

Only problem I have wit DG jeans  (original) not Super Stretch is

after a few months the waist stretches out.  I have to have them

taken in, cost $18.   Rest of the pants the fine something with

the elastic in the waistband.  Anyone else have this problem?

@Miranda1550,

Yes, but I find that her waistbands in general run too big for me. So I always buy her jeans and jeggings with  belt loops. Otherwise I'm constantly pulling them up.

googled this and found nothing

smell could be from manufacturing the product

Yes, this is true.

Outsource the clothing manufacturing to increase unemployment in the USA and spray the clothes because there are all sorts of horrible deadly things overseas and then no one wants to wear them and many can't because the pesticides make them ill. Go team USA. lol
