I had put them in throwout pile cause i didnt like the type of denim that much but when i wanted comfy shorts i thought i could use them to experiment with. i was thinking knee length tailored on thighs but left them as baggy as feeling lazy. They look much better as shorts. I turned up the hem on the outside like you see on boyfriend style jeans now. . They are size 14 jeans with the old 'tuck in the pocket' trick. Turned out to be just what i needed and I have worn them all week around the house but could pop to the shops in them if needed - not exactly talking hot pance. As I said, I didnt bother taking in the legs. Will make pair with slightly loose but more tailored thighs one day.
The beauty of the baggy pockets is twofold - you can actually get hands in when slouching, especially sore arthritic hands, and they hide any tummy buldges seen from side view.
You can see in the second pic, the little white stitching on the waist band which is the tuck. Sometimes this is all I do, however with these I sewed tuck flat down to the top of pocket entry which you might just see on the seam in the right side of the pocket.
