New Denim at Banana

BR has introduced a new denim collection with better fits and more washes.

I have never found BR denim to fit that well, so it will be interesting to see if these do indeed fit better.  It's kind of funny about the fit of the women's jeans because I know a lot of guys who love BR jeans.  Now they have a 00 which is good because I always found their sizes to run large.  Maybe the 00 is like a normal 0?

They are also having a big sale now... up to 40% off, browse here. They were pretty aggressive with coupons through the holiday season so the 40% off does't seem like that big a deal, but still a sale is a sale! Always good if you find something you like!

Well, BR jeans are not all that. They run ridiculously large, and even when you try them on in the store you can still get burned later because the "stretch" factor is enormous. Also, their size charts on their website are incorrect. According to their chart, I should wear a size 12. But I have a pair of size 10's that are falling off of me so much I'm considering having them tailored. I probably actually wear a size 8 or 6 in their ridiculously vanity sized clothes. I am a true size 12, but if I bought a 12 at BR I would be swimming in it. I went and bought this pair of 10's which fit all right at the store, but after one hour of wear they are falling off. I will not ever buy BR jeans again. They are not worth their exhorbitant prices, especially when they can't even do customers the courtesy of accurate sizing and jeans that don't add one or two sizes in stretch after wearing for an hour.
