good news: i finally found a pair of shorts that fit well in all aspects! (no pun intended) bad news: it's from abercrombie & fitch. (i'm not a fan. freshman year of high school, my friends and i created a site 'can asians model?' because 100% of a&f faces were/are anglo. two years later, i boycotted after the asian shirt fiasco. three years later, i wrote an econ paper scrutinizing its evolution. it was entitled 'a&f: from safari to sorority'.) i have to admit, the company does produce durable, high quality clothing, and though i have tried to avoid it with all my might, their pants really do fit my body type the best. h&m is too boxy, j.crew too long and skinny, express too curvy, __ too expensive, etc.
shopping for jeans is one of my most frustrating moments. with only a handful of major brands and stores available in the midwest (or pseudo-midwest--rochester), i just can't see how cut-out, carbon-copy jeans can fit the millions of body types out there. i think after a few years of trial and error, i've finally locked down the look, style, shape that fits me best for my age -- with the exception of jeans.
but anyway, for today, victory is mine!

i give you my most heartfelt congratulations jopan =). i too have toiled for the perfect pair of jeans...they were always too long or too loose!
my best fit now comes from american eagle. it used to be from the now-defunct weathervane (a slightly younger/more conservative wet seal/rue 21/forever kind of store). i guess the quality was kind of questionable though since i pretty much wore through each pair i owned, haha.
jeans shopping is a pain. it's the one thing i will pay money for if i have to. however, no matter the quality, mine never last more than a 1 yr. i guess it's because i wear them everyday!
my latest finds were jones new york jeans for $10 a piece at Sam's Club. i love them!
can i read your af paper sometime? =)
i agree with phyllis...ae jeans fit surprisingly well
