NYDJ Women's Marilyn Straight Leg Denim Jeans

This is last time Ill order NYDJ from Amazon. First pair was very badly rehemmed (by previous customer?) and tag read "Made in Mexico". Second pair is a style and size I have two older pairs of--Marilyn straight leg, regular length, size 0. This one is smaller in waist and thighs than my old pairs, and a good 3 inches longer! And, guess what, "Made in Mexico" again. I dont avoid buying items made in Mexico, but Amazon/seller description claims "Made in USA", and thats one of NYDJs claims on their website too, so it makes me wonder if these are knockoffs?

NYDJ: They need to change their logo. These are indeed, my daughters jeans now. I ordered the same Plus size as in the years past (NYDJ were my "go to jeans!") but these jeans have gone over to the other side...the latest fashion...skinny legs. And skinny legs are NOT good looking on older women in a plus size. Nor are they any longer the same fit elsewhere. . Thankfully, I still have my original NYDJs to wear. These and 4 other pairs of NYDJs are being returned; Ill sadly have to go to another brand that still fits, and looks good on this older woman.

Let me start by saying that I own many pairs of NYDJ jeans. Mostly Marilyn. These are a little different than the other Marilyn jeans because of the "Future Fit Denim". The denim retains more heat so you wouldnt want to wear these in hot weather. I love the fit. In fact they fit nicer than all the other Marilyn jeans I own BUT.....I cant hem the darn things. Let me explain: Im not sure what Future Fit means but they feel stretchier and a little thicker. The back of the fabric (part against your skin) is black not the whitish reverse denim youd expect. So you wouldnt want to roll them up ever because they would look strange. But the biggest issue I have is I always have to hem new jeans when I get them. Im just a tad shorter than 58" and I like my inseam around 32" for heals or 30-ish for flats. These jeans come very long. I think they were 34". I sew garments and have hemmed a lot of things so I know my way around the process. These jeans are impossible to hem. The material stretches so much that if you hemmed them by machine, no matter how careful you are, they stretch as you sew and the hem looks awful. I had to pull out the hem twice before I gave up and hemmed them by hand. Then I pulled that out because it looked weird, like they were just folded under. I finally gave up and just cut them to length and pulled on the threads to fray the edges. The frayed threads are black but its not that noticeable from a distance. As far as their sizing goes, I ordered them in my usual size, not a size down as they suggest. Im 5 8", 145lbs and usually wear an 8. I probably could have ordered a 6 but I dont like my jeans extremely tight. If I was in my 20s, maybe, but not anymore. These size 8 jeans arent loose, they fit just perfectly and dont stretch out after awhile either like other jeans. So Im giving these 4 stars because I love them and leaving off a star because Im not crazy about the hem/fabric.

I have not had these long and the stitching is coming undone. I have never seen a pair of jeans do this let alone a pair that cost this much. Sad. Are the NYDJ sold on Amazon 2nd quality?

I have never paid this much for a pair of jeans. Instead, I have paid $30 to $50 for NUMEROUS pairs that dont fit right. A constant battle for sure. No more!! These are awesome. I was concerned about the rise being too high. They are high but not overly so. Right to the waistline. Maybe just a tad below. Wish I had tried them a long time ago!! The tummy tuck feature is incredible. It works like you wont believe without being tight. Its hard to explain - they are tight but comfortable and look really good. Highly recommend you give them a try. I am 5 7 and the length is perfect. I ordered a size down as the NYDJ website suggested. Totally awesome. The war has been won!! Perfect fitting jeans.
