Consumer report on Radcliffe SW3 jeans

[flowerybeanbag]

Well they arrived this morning, wearing them now.

I've got the blue ones, they are a very dark rinse . I wouldn't actually describe them as wide-leg, I'd describe them as flare, they're quite fitted around the bum and thigh area, but with some stretch and bearing in mind they are brand new and therefore going to give a bit more, it's fine.

They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever had in my life. Wonderful to have tummy all tucked in, no muffin top and no concern that if I sit down or bend over I'm showing the world far more than it needs to see! No need to try and find extra long vests to wear under everything and constantly be pulling them down in fear of a draft.

Only trouble is, like many expensive jeans, they are very long. I've got them turned up at the moment without shoes on, but may need to get them properly shortened a bit, will have to see how it goes.

No idea if any of the cheaper ones would be as good, but I'm keeping mine!

Meant to say about the sizing. I am generally a 12 in trousers depending on the cut and a 10 in skirts. On the Radcliffe website size guide it says that if you are between a 10 and a 12 get 29, if a 12 get 30. I went for 30, they fit fine, not at all tight, especially now I've been wearing them most of the day.

They sound fab, where did you get them from? I am desperate for some new jeans.

Oh Fowerybeanbag, thanks for the report, after my atempt to buy a less expensive pair I'm even more determinded to get the Radcliffe's.

Go for it. I am loving them still, even to the extent of contemplating getting a black pair as well...
