I am unhappy to find that a lot of stuff today is made with spandex and/or lycra

Tops, jeans, etc. I am of certain age that shouldn't be wearing close-fitting clothing

and I have a little more weight on my bones than I should. I feel like manufacturers

are no longer making 100% cotton jeans any longer.....

Anyone else finding this to be a problem? Or do you have source for 100% cotton

jeans?

Thanks

Deb

I have had luck with the Long and Lean jeans by the Gap.

My girlfriend also likes Land's End for clothing.

I found these a couple of months ago and I love them (I'm a bit on the hippy side and these don't gap too much at the waist).

I have a pair from Eddie Bauer that are also 100% . . . they're a couple of years old. I assume they still make them that way.

Also, if you get the LL Bean Credit Card (no annual fee) you don't have to pay shipping on any of your orders. I got it for that exact reason and rarely use it except when I'm ordering from their catalog. You also don't pay if the shipping address is to a different location. It means you don't have to try to put together a bigger order to "justify" the shipping cost. Returns are on your own dollar, though.

Thanks for info...I have an "hourglass" figure also and pants "gap" at the back at the waist. It's so bad that you can gather about 4 inches of fabric.

The jeans I have now are Lee brand from JC Penney and I never thought that they would add spandex elastic to them but they did.

I see that LandsEnd has "custom" made ones....wow!

I buy most of my clothing from Lands End. I hate clothes shopping, and with them everything fits the same. Once you know your size, you know everything you order will fit.

I do have a few pairs of pants that have a touch of Spandex in them. They are cut wide enough to not cling in the least, but I love that when I bend or kneel there is some give, and I don't feel so constricted (I hate anything tight).

. . . and just a little info about Lands End. . . you can make your returns at Sears so you don't have to pay return postage. Just this week, when I was at Sears (making a Lands End return), the person there told me that you can place a Lands End order AT a Sears and get free delivery to your house. I haven't tried this yet, though.

See, I have a slightly 'inflated' behind. But I'm 5'7'' 145lbs, so you'd figure they make clothes for people my height and weight, right? WRONG! I swear, 95% of the jeans I try on are like saran-wrap on my butt and completely baggy on my thighs. I'd love a pair of pants that just fits. The best ones definitely have the 4-6% spandex though, because I get that gappy thing at the waist too, and it helps prevent that. I've taken to wearing professional clothes more often when I'm not even working, because it's easier for me to find work clothes that fit right. TJmaxx and Marshalls are cool though because they have so many different brands, instead of department stores that only carry a few.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
