| Hi Ladies, I find that I just don't like the style of jeans in stores these days. The low rise waist is not for me or a few other ladies I know. I do like ones that sit up on my waist, a few years ago my little nephew referred to them as "Grandpa Jeans"! So be it, I like 'em but I usually only can find them in the thrift stores once in a while. Do you know of a brand like that or have a suggestion or comment, let me know. Thanks, Shannon. |

| Duluth Trading Company has some called "just below the waist" that aren't so high they get called Grandpa jeans and aren't so low you need a bikini wax! |

I like the Eddie Bauer jeans for women, curvy fit. The waist is where it belongs and I can bend over and not worry about looking like a plumber! I also like the "Not My Daughter's Jeans" line as well from Boston Proper.
Good luck finding the brand you like best.

I really like Lee brand, especially with the "no-gap" waistband.

My Aura jeans fit at the waist from Cavendars, but I haven't bought any in a while, so don't know if they have changed them. I also like Lee Riders.

Do you have a FleetFarm store in your area. I find jeans there that I like that have an elastic waist on the waist.

| Wow, thanks for all the suggestion everyone. I've heard of Lee, Eddie Bauer, and Gloria Vanderbuilt, but have never had any. I have never heard of the Duluth Trading Co.,or Not My Daughter's, but would like to check them out. We don't have a FleetFarm Store near here so that's out. We might be going on a holiday to North Dakota this summer so maybe I could keep my eyes open. Thanks again for all the help, I knew you farmgirl sisters would have some good ideas. |

Another brand you might want to look into is Carhart. They make clothing for the construction trades with tougher denim and more pocket options.

| I like the ones that are a bit higher so it keeps everything under control and the spare tire hidden, lol. I figure if they are clean and somewhat in style who cares. I wear shirts that cover most of my rear anyway. I am now in my late 50s and past impressing everyone. I wear what feels good. |

If you like to buy online, the QVC shopping channel has a great line called Denim & Co. The have several different styles including some that sit at your natural waistline. They have great tools on their site to help you pick a style that will work for you. They also have petite, regular and tall in a big range of sizes. I buy all my jeans from there, and I they help me keep everything nice and covered! :)
