The rear zip jeans worn by 'sweetboy' are one fine piece.
Wished that they were available in larger (Plus) sizing but alas they are available only in the
lower end of the misses sizing (or juniors).
Even at that most women's jeans do not have an adequate RISE front & rear to prevent crack
shots .
Here is that style of that jean currently being auctioned on ebay - copy & paste in ebay site Search field:

MISS SIXTY SEXY TIGHT NIXIE ONE JEANS WAIST 26 SIZE 8 LEG... (150783706495)

I have an idea if I were to win a pair on the cheap side to take them to a tailor and see
if I could resize to my girth.
I believe I have read somewhere about a company in California that will take your well
fitting jeans and make duplicates of them. They tear the jeans down to the basic pattern
and make as many copies as you want to buy - I don't know if they resew the original back
together and return them. It would seam (pun) that ripping out all the stitiches holding the jeans
together would be a very time consuming job AND EXPENSIVE !
I am going to have to research that avenue - I think I read/heard about that some five years
back and about that time they were charging about $100 a pair for the duplicates.
A local trusted tailor maybe able to do this on less expensive side with no time lost for shipping & postage.

Kohl's - Gloria Vanderbuilt jeans are the perfect sizing for me with adequate RISE and fit
at the low waist line. I guess you could refer to it as generous coverage for the pelvic area.
Too often the young misses and juniors sizing the jeans/pants are worn at the point of just
falling down off the hips. That point is the widest at the bottom of the hourglass figure.
So go figure how the girls keep their pants on - must be the compression tightness at the thighs.

Thank you k/s/s. Those jeans look great. Unique. I MUST find a pair. ;D I have a couple Miss Sixty jeans but not those. The shipping charge for that eBay pair is outrageous though it's still tempting.

I do all my own sewing and tailoring and I would guess that job would be rather expensive. Then there is the risk of your old favorite jeans being sewn poorly back together again (not having the exact same thread, exact same stitch length, etc.) When I find a pair of jeans that fit well and like I often buy a few, same for shoes, just in case they're discontinued.

There's one company I have used to repair a few jeans. They might be able to offer some advice. As expensive as jeans are now it's often cheaper to have them repaired than tossing and buying new. The company is denimtherapy.com/. I don't know if they do anything you've described. If you're truly looking for custom made jeans then there's www.indicustom.com/ who I mentioned in the other Female First thread.

Many can't keep their pants up. lol Some wear a belt. Often jeans will fit fine but over time start to lose their stretch at the waist. Often better made jeans will have thicker or heavier denim sewn at the waist to help the jean hold it's shape longer. The majority of jeans are just two ply of denim.

Jeans up to 5% lycra woven in helps the jeans to stretch rather than pull the jeans (down) when moving. So basically as you said more "compression" throughout with a higher lycra content.

The ebay auction closed and one bidder wanted both pairs awful bad.
For getting a pair on the cheap side - lost cause.
They were not my size so no big deal - just wanted one pair for the pattern
which I could alter to a larger size.
Did get auction pictures saved for reference.

Thanks for the denim/custom link-leads - - -

You're welcome and thanks for putting those jeans on my radar screen! You can save an eBay search so whenever something matches your search words and gets put up on eBay it will send you an email. I used the words "Sixty Nixie". It's unlikely anything else is named that.

The seller has two more pair up for auction but they look awfully distressed denim and not like the dark denim.
Checking the sellers history of sales - noted that two other pair were sold a few days ago and for a great deal more than those sold yesterday.
The real killer is the GBP 15.00 S & H.
Copied and saved the pictures from all the auctions.
I think that I will take a look at the custom link you provided and send them copies of the pictures and see what they cando.

The seller had three more pair in auction that sold for around 25 dollars or better with
24 dollars S&H.
No more of these listed or found on ebay for now.
