Do I persevere with Hush jeans

[rainydogday]

First time buying jeans from Hush. Got the boyfriend star jeans and the frayed star jeans. Love them both but feel that they are very stiff and I get the dreaded gape at the back. I guess it's because they are 'proper' denim and not the stretchy skinny's I am used to. Do they wear in well and soften? Also any ideas about a stretchy belt that may help the gape? Or do I give up and send them back and buy more stretchy skinny's that only last one year

I have the star frayed ones. I find they do soften up nicely. I got this belt from Gap to go with mine although I don't find that mine really gape at all at the back it's just they loosen up after a couple of wears. They go back to being a little stiff after washing.

There is also a really nice belt that Hush do that goes well with them.

If they gape badly you could get them altered by a dressmaker.

I have had to give up on hush jeans, they are really good quality denim but I have found the sizing a bit bonkers.
The last pair I ordered, I could get both arms in the gape at the back I don’t mind altering the length, as that’s quite straightforward but the waist is another matter I think.
I was gutted that I had to send them back, I really wanted the star jeans.
My hunt continues 😥
