LOL, missmk. I'm starting to get low on tolerance about their outdated stock status. If this doesn't work, anyone else know where I can find James jeans on sale?
shopbop, I think. james cured by seun or james?? I am never sure if their is a difference or not..

I got my LCs from Revolve today. I sized up one and they are a taaad loose in the waist but really tight in the thighs. I think I have big thighs though, so you should be fine if you have thin/normal legs.
WHEW! I'm pretty sure I'll be okay then. Thank you, Conner! Like I said before, I definitely disklike their website and I don't like the fact that their stock status is not up to date . . . but I'm definitely not going to complain about paying just over $74.00 for a brand spankin' new pair of Paige LCs.

if I REALLY wanted these...I could still get them...but, I think I'll save my money and spend it elsewhere. ae has a bad rep, and there's no way I'm gonna deal with their crap.

Uh-oh, I don't think I know anything about this. Why do they have a bad rep?

I don't think I've heard about this either! None of their stores are around here, and I've only heard good things about them online.

I've heard some of the chicago-area members talking about how they are snobby in their stores, but haven't heard about their online cs.

like what lindsay went through...I mean, say you ordered a 400 dollar pair of TR and used the coupon for 20% off so it went down to 320..and then say they decided they wanted to cancel the coupon...80 bucks is a big difference!

Also, in their stores they are VERY snobby. Much worse than Neiman Marcus, IMO. I am not going to give money to a store who treats their customers badly. I was in the shoe section at dillards not long ago and nobody bothered to ask if they could help me (because I am young) so I left and went and spent 300 bucks elsewhere. Their loss. I don't tolerate it.

Well...I just decided to get the 25. I have a feeling they will be too big (I wear a 24 in stretch & rigid) but the good thing is my sister is one size bigger than me so I'll gift them to her if they don't work. The price is too good to pass!

Thanks for the measurements, they were helpful!

I know what you mean . . . I'm 10 years older than you and I still get treated that way a lot. Just yesterday, my younger sister (who is 21, but looks younger) got completely ignored when she went into Sephora yesterday to buy some mascara. They refused to help her and just looked at her like she couldn't have been prestigious enough to wear their makeup or something. I don't care how badly I want something . . . if I get treated badly, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that I'm going to give you my hard earned money for being such a wench. Besides, there's a 99% chance I can always find it somewhere else, yanno? Nevertheless, it's sad.

Yay! Glad you like them, Linds. Does anyone know if the code went through with your credit cards? AE told me my order shipped today, so no more worries about that, now just worried about them fitting b/c I had to size down 1 more!

I wore the Paiges for the first time today and they are SUPER comfortable! Two things about them though . . .they stretched out considerably (hopefully nothing that some shrinking won't somewhat fix) and I also noticed that they came with a small hole just below the center belt loop on the left side of the jeans.



They are still definitely worth the price I got them for . . . I just hope that hole doesn't turn into something disasterous!

Uh-oh, I thought Paiges were supposed to stretch a lot less than most others? I am scared about mine now. I got my James jeans yesterday & they were really tight in the waist & thighs, so I had to stretch them out a bit. Worth it for the price, though. Will have to be quicker to order next time AE has a sale so I can get the size I want!

Okay, about the stretching out Linds:

IMO, Don't shrink them! It seems to me that paige go through a 'breaking-in' period. During this period, they will stretch quite a bit, BUT, once they have been washed/worn 4-5 times, this will stop. Mine used to stretch out and give me saggy butt and I almost sold them because of it but they don't do that anymore. They now hold their shape amazingly well. Don't shrink them, IMO.

and the hole.. don't even get me started. More active endeavors crap. good thing my mom said no to ordering...I almost did...

Thanks for your input . . . I think I'll take your advice! That's definitely the problem right now . . . the butt is somewhat saggy but the waist is worse! Without a belt on, I can pull them down and off without a problem . . . that's what was freaking me out! Hopefully, that will stop after a few washes/wears like you said.

Their website says, "For quality assurance, we cannot accept returns or exchanges on items from which the red tag has been removed." Unfortunately, I didn't notice the hole until this afternoon and of course I had already taken that stupid, bulky red tag off this morning when I decided to wear them. Oh well . . . I'm still pretty happy with them!

I would call them. They're great and all, but you shouldn't have to deal with defective merchindise whether you took the dang tag off or not.

screw active endeavors. geez.

btw, the waist doesn't ever bother me, but I guess that's because where I really need the room! stupid fat hips!

Well, I e-mailed them and explained the situation . . . I have a feeling that they're going to tell me TOUGH LUCK though since I still have the red tag and price tag but they're not attached. I guess it's my own fault for not inspecting the jeans closer before I took the tags off . . . I was so excited to wear them though and I didn't think I needed to thoroughly inspect something that came from a reputable store! I guess I've learned my lesson.
