In our effort to provide the best selection of pants and jeans for women, the James Store is considering adding David Kahn Jeans to its lineup. These jeans are worn by Hollywood stars, have been raved about on Oprah, and have a loyal customer base– similar to The James Store’s other brands (Vanilia, FDJ French Dressing & NYDJ).
Let us know what you think…

The two most popular styles of Vanilia jeans are the Jacky and the Becky. In both styles, the fit of the “no waistband” pant is so good, that typically more than 95% of women fit one of the two styles well. In a store, trying the two styles on is key– but over the internet it can be more difficult. This guide is to help women to choose.
Overall, the body of the 2 styles is very similar at the top. The “rise” in the Jacky is 1 inch
higher (12 inch) than the Becky. The legs of the 2 styles are different: the Jacky has a tapered leg and comes in 2 lengths: short and normal. Often petite women prefer the tapered leg on the Jacky even in the short lengths. The Jacky also has a narrower hip and thinner legs. The Becky has the straight leg (boot cut), with a fuller leg and wider hips. It is available in short, normal and
long.
Both the Becky & Jacky have the fabulous Vanilia two-way stretch. These pants are made in Italy, where the best bi-stretch fabrics are produced.

We found this great article on eBay of all places giving some tips on how to get a great fit with NYDJ Not Your Daughter’s Jeans (a.k.a. Tummy Tuck Jeans). Here is an excerpt (read the full article here):
My advice when buying these jeans…DON’T buy one size smaller. They will be too tight and too uncomfortable to wear especially after washing.
Measure your hip first and always ask for hip and waist measurements before purchasing. I like to make certain that the jeans will fit my buyers before I mail them, so I take the time to correspond with each buyer in making sure they have a good fit. Some jeans may have manufacturer size errors, but the measurements will take care of that.
Allow one inch larger and then cook them in the dryer to shrink them to one size smaller. Don’t buy too large of a size, because you will find that they do not shrink that much. NYDJ jeans are tough and hold their shape, so you may not be able to shrink them that much.
Purchasing a size smaller will not only make you feel uncomfortable in a tight fit, but your cellulite will actually bulge through the thigh area since there is no reinforcement in that area of the jean. I strongly suggest wearing a pair of footless pantyhose like Spanx (not mid thigh) under your Capris, or any support panty hose under your standard NYDJ. If Spanx are a bit pricey, then Sarah Blakley (the founder of Spanx) sells the same footless pantyhose at a less expensive price under the name of “Assets.” You can be certain of a smooth look and fit once you place your NYDJ jeans on if you wear some kind of hose, or shaper mentioned above underneath them.
