The infamous L.e.i. jeans of 2000

Do you remember when jeans were made with solid material and there was no such thing as "stretch" jeans? A girl knew her jean size in every popular brand name and unless she gained or lost weight, they always fit....even the NEXT day/morning. We didn't have to deal with wearing a pair of jeans for a couple of hours and then having to constantly pull them up for the rest of the day. Yes we owned belts, but when it looks like you pooped your pants or were making room to stuff second and third pairs of jeans down each pant leg, belts didn't help much.

I owned a pair or two myself of these marvelous non stretch jeans, and I have held on to one pair, my favorite pair, ever since my senior year of high school in 2000. They are L.e.i. brand, dark denim, boot cut, size 9. When I tried them on today I felt like I was back in the 1970s...I think "boot cut" jeans have come a long way since the year 2000.

Check this article out on "Vanity Sizing," you can only imagine what this particular size "9" really is today!
