I don't doubt that her knit pull ups fit well. It's not so difficult by comparison and is why they're so prolific on the shopping channels; easier fit and less returns

.

Why not show us your trouser fit skills with a nice woven with a zippered fly??

I think the problem with that is the hip/waist ratio varies so much from individual to individual. Unless it was a really stretchy fabric - I would expect there would be lots of returns.

LandsEnd used to have chinos wth woven fly front and waistband .... but there were elastic inserts in the sdes of the waistband.

If I want a fly front - I buy men's chinos. Not much difference between hip and waist measurement. They fit me really well.

Yes, for sure. Just think about the two of you -- how difficult would it be to make a woven pant style with a rigid waistband that would fit both of you (in the proper sizes, of course). From everything I've seen and read about your body types, you have very different shapes. (I doubt they would allow her to do what, say, Talbots does and include regular and curvy fits for many styles pants/jeans.)

Oh come on! While I admit it's not as easy as stretchy pull on knits plenty of retailers sell woven trousers (and jeans) without offering 12 different 'styles' in every size! If they, the Q, can do a jean, with a fly, then clearly they can do another trouser (they choose not to).

And just because something is woven doesn't mean it has to preclude stretch...

Sure they do, but they don't all fit all women, do they? I'm not saying it's impossible ... just difficult to do for a TV shopping channel most likely trying to minimize returns. (Spoken by a person who frequently suffers from back-of-the-waistband gap!)

I don't care for them either....they don't fit me well and I couldn't stand the swishing sound when I took a few steps! UGH!
