Hi Styleforum, I'm new here (this being my first post). Before I ask the question proper, I'd like to apologize if this has been answered in some way, but I really have tried to use the search function as much as possible. I'd much rather read through a thread than make my own, because I'm a lurker at heart. However, trying to find threads involving the "fit" of jeans is problematic because "fit" doesn't come up with anything (my guess being it's too short a phrase.) If anyone knows of a thread that's addressed this, I would be very grateful and would readily delete/request that the mods delete this thread so it doesn't take up unnecessary space.
Now, onto the question proper. As far as I know, the jeans popular on this forum are said to be popular for (mainly) two reasons. The quality of the denim, and the cut of the denim. The quality I can understand. However, it doesn't seem logical to me for the cut of the jeans of brand X to make them better than all the jeans made by other, not-so-style-forum-approved brands. Isn't the fit of the jean dependent on how closely the cut matches the body shape of the person wearing it?
That being said, how SHOULD the jeans fit you? Should the cut 'mirror' your body measurements such that they have the same amount (however slight) of excess fabric throughout?
Thanks again for helping a newcomer out.
