Lynn Murphy looks like Elly May Clampett in it

Maybe someone should tell Lynn that the brand is Hot in Hollywood, not Hot in Beverly Hills.

Hi Dosey, can you tell me about the INC jeans, please? It's always helpful to go jeans shopping with some trusted recommendations!

Hope all is well!

Hi, my friend! Sure, I'll tell you about INC's jeans.

I was on the board expressing my frustration with finding jeans that fit. Winamac recommended INC jeans because they came in long lengths. Much to my disappointment, I found that my store did not carry the long lengths, but I tried on a few pairs anyway. The jeans that came in curvy fit were the best for me because my waist is a size smaller than my hips. Macys had a bunch of curvy styles - flare, boot cut, narrow boot cut, skinnies, straight leg, capris, etc. - in different washes, too. I chose the curvy-fit narrow boot cut because I did not have a pair like them. Here they are.

I couldn't get the picture to come out larger. They do have a flap pocket. Some people do not like that kind of pocket, but the placement is perfect and doesn't "accentuate" my bum in a bad way. Actually, it looks pretty good in these jeans. The fabric is so soft. It has the nicest stretch but does not stretch out with wear. The waist, knees, and bum all keep their shape. Because the legs are not too wide, I can wear a loose or fitted top. The waist is not too high or too low. I love these jeans so much that I might buy another identical pair as a backup.

INC's skinny jeans are just as nice. The fit is good, and the fabric is soft like all of the other styles. The waist is a little higher than the Levis superlows. (Still like the skinny Levis that you recommended better.) I have one pair but do not see the exact style on Macy's website, so I won't post a picture.

My only gripe with INC's jeans (and many other brands) is that the sizing can vary between styles. I tried on a pair of boyfriend jeans and needed a size TWO sizes smaller than I normally wear. I ended up not buying the BF jeans only because they were so heavily distressed on the thighs (looked white, not blue) that I felt silly - like I was trying too hard. The other BF jeans online do not look as faded. I'll think about it.

If you want to try the INC jeans, I would go to the store and take a look. If what you want is not in the store, there is a good selection online.

Hope you have been well and happy. April is just next week, and it will be warming up for you very soon!

Hi Dosey!

Thank you so much for such a detailed review! After I read about the INC jeans here, I did look at them online and great minds think alike! I was most interested in the narrow boot cut. I don't currently have that leg style and do think it is a good choice for wearing boots. I actually like pockets on my bum, too. I will definitely make a point of stopping in Macy's soon!

April cannot come soon enough for us, Dosey. We have had such a difficult winter. I thought of you yesterday as I was writing a note to a relative in Myrtle Beach. I think you live in that part of the country? You are probably already experiencing beautiful weather and, hopefully, we will some day, too! LOL

Happy Spring to you and yours! And thank you, again!

Winter has been so tough for most of the country. You deserve a beautiful spring. I live in the upstate of SC very close to Greenville. We had some snow this year, but it wasn't too bad. The horrible weather stayed north of us. Of course, the kids missed about a week of school because we do not have the equipment to clean the roads. The schools here take no chances and close if the roads are bad in any part of the county.

Nice chatting with you!

Here is my review of the Hot In Hollywood TS jean. I received them today. I ordered the dark denim, size small. They are a very stretchy material, and I see no reason for them having put in a side zipper at all. You can just pull them on. They are a nice soft material. Very comfortable. I am a little concerned about them needing to be pulled up as you wear them and move in them. They fit just like skinny jean, tight through the waist,hips,thighs and a slight boot cut. I washed them inside out, in warm water with a cup of white vinegar to set the color. Put them in a medium hot dryer. They came out just fine. They may have shrunk a little bit, which it was hoping as they were just a bit loose. But hardly at all. Not sure if will keep them ...I will wear them this weekend and see how they feel moving I them. If they tend to pull down,I will return them.

I have not seen those pants but ordered the todays special blouse several weeks ago. It was a little expensive but very well made and fits like a dream. I am 52 and it fits the body well with out looking frumpy.

I bought the "skins" bootcut, and I LOVE THEM! I keep posting that I want her flares back, but these boot cuts are awesome!

I don't think those HIH jeans were a TS. Did you order the skins or skinny jeans? She hasn't had a jean T.S. ever.

Thanks for the review! I'm looking forward to hearing if they stretch out and slip down or if they hold up well.

Perhaps they were just at a special price then..

Yes, they were at a special price-$10 off. I like the skins, but I want her to bring the flare-bottomed ones back. I'm keeping the skins though. I love her jeans.

I think I must have 3 pairs of her jeans now. They don't stretch out and slip down the way DG2's do. I have donated all my DG2 jeans. I probably won't buy more DG2.

I also just received my TS Iman jeans today... see my review under the thread about the Imans TS jeans......
