I have a closet full of skirts and dresses, but pants are hard to come by. Every year, I diligently try on pants. Every year, I give up with a sigh. I spend the winter being cold. This year, I have had it. I am tired of being cold. I am finding a pair of pants.
I try on different designers, leg shapes, sizes, and rises...all the things I advise people to do. I run in and out of the dressing room, listening to comments from my colleagues. "Granny." "Saggy, baggy." "You look like you're wearing something you dragged out of your father's closet." Here at By Hand, we tell it like it is. Clearly this is not going well.
I decide I need a low-rise, boot cut jean. I look for my size and realize it is GONE. Somebody bought my pants! Scooped them up right from under my nose. My colleague suggests I try on the
Jag Jeans denim leggings. I mumble something about wanting boot cut. After some coaxing, I pull on the denim leggings. And lo and behold. They fit and look good. Plus, they are super comfortable. I do not need the low-rise, boot cut. I need these. Sometimes even the shopkeeper requires a little help.
By Hand is pleased to offer a little help from one our favorite designers. On Thursday, August 19th from 5pm-8pm, Rob Gaon from Jag Jeans will be at By Hand with the entire Jag collection (including items we don't usually carry). This is your chance to find the perfect fit and stock up in every color. As usual, refreshments will be provided. Eat some sushi, and tell Rob how much you love your Jag jeans. Pair your Jag pants up with a
Pure sweater and you're good to go. Here's to keeping warm this winter.
