Thank you for this very interesting video. It will help me greatly. I am a little older than you but was a skirts/dresses only person (religious reasons) until fairly recently. I am now comfortable in dress pants but found it difficult to buy a pair of jeans that fitted and were comfortable.
This video helped me decide on the correct size for my recent purchase of the ribcage full legth jeans, thank you so much for mentioning all important details! I totally relate about the colour, it took me literally years to find the perfect blue without any greenish or greyish tints, but also not too stark of a blue. But I finally succeeded in finding the perfect colour and I absolutely love them - not only the wash but also the fit. They actually make it seem like I have curves even though I am built very straight. Also, I heard that Levis do really great sales, so it can be worth waiting... Apparently they are quite heavily discounted on the regular, about 30% off or so, or alternatively you can purchase them via a stockist (I got mine via Za lando at about 45% off).
Your video helped me narrow down the type of ribcage jeans I wanted to try. I wanted to ask you what color of ribcage are you wearing in the video? The link shows the ribcage but it doesn't seem to match the color in the video or perhaps the color online is slightly different? Thanks so much.
Same, jeans are my uniform. Very helpful review thanks. I have also looked at a lot of jeans recently and have found that straight leg can often be tapered from the knee down which looks frankly dated imo or really baggy and more of a wide leg. Having spent decades trying jeans on Levi’s are my favourite for all the reasons that you explain. Will be trying some Ribcage asap as I have 501 already which I love but are quite low waisted and not so good for tucking in tops. 😊
Yes, I totally agree! I find my 501's to be a bit tapered, actually. I still love them but in comparison to the Ribcage jeans, it's definitely a different kind of straight fit. Thank you for your comment and good luck with the Ribcage jeans. I hope you love them as much as i do!
I looooooove the full length ribcage. I’m a denim fan too. Winter-Spring -Summer-Fall 👖. My go to is Levi, Agolde and Abercrombie ❤ I’m a 24 w/32 length too.I went back for several washes..
why the link is not of the same product that you are wearing? The link is just taking me to the Levi's website but i want the same jeans that you're wearing. please give me link of your jeans
It’s interesting you say to downsize cause any time I’ve ever tried on Levi’s at a thrift store in my size, they’re always 1-3 sizes too small for me - and those are worn in.
I have the same concern! I have ordered ribcage levi’s and they happened to be 80% cotton, 20% lyocell and I am not able to find any info about how this type of material composition wears out. The size I have right now is tight in my butt, but relaxed at the waist (I would not want it to get any looser there). Should I size down? Would smaler size ever adjust to my butt and thighs? Maybe levi’s are just not for me?
@@ikax3 my jeans has 76% cotton, 23% polyester, 1 % elastane. I feel it has knee bulge while wearing coz of stretchable material. And ribcage edition is especially made for girls with thick thighs. If this size is tight on butt, smaller size would be uncomfortably tighter ( so don't size down ). Maybe just get the waist altered to ur size ...
Oh, interesting! Perhaps the composition has changed over time or there is some slight variation of these jeans that i haven't come across? I'm just working off what is available on the website and the specific pair that i bought. I do think they are worth it, if you skip to the end of the video i cover why i think so.

Thanks, i think so too!

I can’t speak to the sizing of vintage jeans or even other styles. My advice for sizing down is if you’re buying these jeans from the store.
Great content! Carry on
Thank you :)
I bought Levi's ribcage straight jeans. They have only 79% cotton. I am confused, are they worth it ?

Thank you both for your comments, it's really helpful to have a variety of reviews :)
Okk. these versions (less cotton composition ) are cheaper ones in my country @@themodereport
