I’m waiting for a script to finish running so I’m going to take this time to air my beef with women’s denim manufacturers.

1. Y’all need to stop the midrise gaslighting. Some of these jeans y’all are touting as midrise are definitely high rise.

Midrise is below the natural waist and should fall somewhere below the belly button and somewhere between it and the hips. Mid rise jeans should not be completely covering the belly button and encroaching the space above it.

I want to say that maybe I’m built different, but midrise jeans should not have six inches of zipper.

2. The same jeans in the same size but a different wash should not result in entirely different measurements. Why is a light wash jean a different rise and fit than the same jeans in a dark wash? Why is black denim always a completely different fit?

3. why are so many straight leg jeans cropped or “ankle length” (which is code for cropped if you have long legs). And why when they are, if they are called straight leg, do some also have a small kick flare?

There are many things I appreciate about online shopping, but shopping for jeans ain’t it. I prefer stores so I can try things on before I buy them. Instead I’m stuck with jeans I think I’ll like eventually (and rarely do) or having to get a lot better at returning things, thus also having to endure more frequent post office and UPS visits.

Because SF doesn’t also have a lot of clothing stores from which to choose. There is an Everlane but I don’t really love their denim.

So if you’re still reading this and have any good midrise denim recommendations, I would sincerely appreciate it. Regardless, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
