    I really wanna buy some Uncle clothes, but bc of the price (of course, you pay more for sustainable and good quality), I'm a bit hesitant. Although there's a size chart, most of the pieces are modelled by ppl wearing sizes xs and small, so it's hard to gauge whether or not they'd fit me well. Would you guys be open to using more diverse-sized models in the future? Also, love you, Allegra!

    • @missknisely
      @missknisely 4 года назад +4

      Just want to second this! You'd think eventually it'd be in their goals to show a model with at least a size Large on..? But I know Allegra has said for sure that they are working on getting longs in the pants and I'm so excited I'm going to have to order.

      I can tell that I only have Levis jeans and my size is 24 when I go to the store and simply buy it. But when I tried (vintage?) Levis from the 80s my size was 27. Maybe that is the reason behind the size differences when it comes Redone.

    • @mppolarice
      @mppolarice 4 года назад

      Janka Aisha Kovács totally could be! I love the redone jeans and I love vintage Levi’s but every time I order or thrift it’s different depending on style so I always aim bigger because then I can get them altered!

  • @missknisely
    @missknisely 4 года назад +1

    You're totally right about looking for minimal to no stretch in jeans, but it's sooo frustrating to 'atypical' body types. For example, I have super curvy thighs when compared to my small midsection/belt loop area, but also quite a long inseam. At this point I'm convinced my perfect jeans don't exist.
    So I have to find companies that will do a long version but with a lot of room in the hips/upper thigh area...and I can't just go to plus sizes because then the waist is too loose and even the general fit is off. So confusing I literally haven't found any pair of jeans that doesn't have a major flaw in either the length/waist size/hip room... I don't want to be out here in skinny jeans or stretchy jeans. I'm tempted to just learn how to make my own out of denim fabric.

    • @missknisely
