Anyone else tired of buying expensive jeans that don't fit?

[blackgrass]

I have bought three pair of jeans online that don't fit due to the seller not giving me the proper actual measurements. The last pair was a sweet pair of Lee 101B's with the half selvage. They are supposed to be 36/34 but are more like 38/36. I paid more than I should have for the jeans as the shipping was pretty high.....what a frigging dissapointment to wait 3 weeks for a pair that doesn't fit due to the actual measurements being off!
I think from now on I am only going to buy new/one wash jeans from a US shop that allows returns.

I got used APC Rescues in size 32 and Lee 101B's in 38 that I want to sell or trade....anyone interested?

if those lee jeans you bought were raw (unwashed) then just warm wash and light dry them and they will shrink down to the tagged size. that's how lee jeans work: shrink to tagged size. give it a try!

I got them used so they have already been soaked a couple of times....not sure about the hot dryer though.
I guess I could try a hot soak and dry them in the dryer...but I think a 34 would fit better all around.

I only buy from individuals when I am dead sure about the fit. Otherwise, our affiliates all offer some sort of return policy. Azalea allows returns, and I think Kultic does as well. Brian (Peasant) is extremely easy to deal with. Denim Bar does store credit, but their roster is so big that if nothing they have fits well, you probably need serious medical help. Blue in Green has the same policy as Denim Bar, I believe. And you should be able to find something you like there. With the 15-20% off at Azalea and Denim Bar, you can get whatever you need without heartache.
