Is this a sneaky way of asking me for my trouser size? Because surely that would depend on the amount of fabric? ;)
I see the answer right below the question again. It might be fun if I had to actually take a guess. I think I'll stick to buying second-hand jeans anyway!
I haven't found organic jeans that fit right. Why does buying organic mean that I have to look like a turd in public.

Check out Patagonia's Denim Workender pants. Not sure if they offer them in both sexes (or what sex you are,) but I'm a fit guy of average height, and they fit me great!

The source of this pop quiz comes from Del Forte jeans, which are not only beautiful but are also great ass jeans. You can buy them and other nonsacrificing fashion green clothing at Camilla Boutique in Brooklyn NY. The address is 355 Atlantic Ave Brooklyn NY 11217. Phone 718-422-0282. This store is amazing, I have two pairs of Del Fortes and love them! So much better than Loomstate.
Can we just have polls from treehugger and not guessing games? Please. I get nothing from seeing how many guessed right or wrong. If there is an answer rather than an opinion then just tell us.
