Okay I probably shouldn't post.... maybe I'm grouchy.  I'm watching Susan Graver. They were selling a $100 double breasted liquid knit blazer. Jennifer said she lives in Susan Graver blazers. I don't think it's a good look.  I guess I'm just surprised they sell enough to have air time. 

Also, A95344 - the slim fit ponte pant that's brand new today looks like it fits more like a legging to me and needs a longer tunic style top. There was some give in the knees but the rest looked too tight. Also everyone had a bulging crotch.  Susan said they erase every lump and bump but exactly the opposite on me.

Here's my take on SG pants. She is supposedly an expert pant maker for over 40 years yet if you read reviews of most of her pants they are not without issues. All that experience her pants should have stellar reviews. And if there is bulging in the crotch area that tells you they do not fit properly through the waist and hip.

I have a lot of her pants and I love most of them.  I ordered two pairs of these and then cancelled the order.  I too am concerned that they fit more like a legging.  The regular inseam is only 28" and the tall is only 30".  Those are inseams you would have on a legging.

Don't go by the way pants fit on that host.  I was watching a show she did a while back and thought I didn't like the pants she wore and was selling. Looked like leggings. Then they showed them on a model and they looked great, not like leggings at all.  This host wears her pants very tight and most pants look like leggings on her.

@MoJoV   you're right I went back and looked and they didn't look as tight on the models. When a pant is polyester and too tight I don't think it's a good look.

You do sound a bit grouchy.

That host always wears pants one size too small so do not judge the fit of the item by how it looks on her.

 

I have that double-breasted blazer in black and it fits me beautifully.  

I prefer the Ponte pants to the slim premium cotton pants because the premium cotton pants are cut just a little bit slimmer and fit me more like leggings.  I end up looking like Jen in them, not a good look on me at all.

 

I did order one pair of the new ponte pants in tall because I wanted the 30" inseam.  They should've described these as ankle pants to alert the buyers on the length.

No, u don’t sound grouchy. Your comments are healthy.
I agree the ponte pant looks a bit tight on Jen. You can see (at the bottom) the outline of her boot thru the pant.

I can think of two hosts that wear their pants way too tight and I never judge mine by them.  It is ridiculous that they do not present the item as it should be worn and does a disservice to the vendor.

Was Jen at one time heavy?  She has thick legs and even if pants are her right size her legs make the pants look tight.
