Recently I purchased two pairs of the New Jeanies from UK based Freddies of Pinewood. I purchased one size in a 30 and a size in a 32. The reason for this was I intended one pair to be for work, the bigger looser more comfy pair since I work on my feet all day and do a lot of bending and stooping. The smaller pair, the 30's were for more fun activities where I want to dress casual but still look super cute.
So I should mention that I have purchased high waisted jeans from Bernie Dexter and Pin Up Girl Clothing and the quality of the two former brands does not even come close to the exceptional materials used and quality of craftsmanship that Freddie's puts into their denim. The denim of my new Jeanies is thin but incredibly strong and durable. The denim is incredibly resilient and the dark indigo blue did not rub off on my skin or light colored clothing. My Deadly Dames high waisted denim pants still turn me blue after numerous washing's and wearing them with any light colored clothing is out of the question as it will stain it. Freddies are great as well if you have a large waist to hip ratio. My waist is 11" smaller than my hips and Freddies makes numerous different styles that will accommodate a variety of body types. I will confess that my size 30 Freddies were a little snug in the hips but after wearing them for a couple of full days they stretched just enough to make sitting a bit more comfortable. The pockets are huge as well which I love since I can actually put my whole hand in my pocket. The only real complaint I have with these jeans is the snap. It often comes undone at the side when I bend over, I feel that a button would be a far better choice. If you are short like I am you may also want to carefully check your measurements before ordering as these jeans are much more high waisted than any of my other high waisted pants. They actually hit me about two inches below my bra. That's pretty high. This however does not bother me as I often wear long line bras and I like that the pants overlap the bra creating a smoother line.
I actually just bought another pair of Freddie's today. The 1950's indigo button jeans. That brings me to three pairs of Freddie's in a month. I am to put it simply so impressed with the quality of these pants and I highly recommend them. Yes, they are expensive but they are only a little bit more expensive than other reproduction brands and the quality and fit is hands down superior.
