Uniqlo Ultra Stretch Skinny Jeans

It was the popular parenting website Mumsnet which first alerted me to the benefits of wearing the Uniqlo Ultra Stretch Skinny Jean.  Unlike many jeans of this nature, they don't bag, sag or end up half way down your derriere by the middle of the day - so perfect for mothers to wear on an almost daily basis. Don't be too concerned about the Japanese sizing - as you can see from the pictures, I wear a 32W/33L, which is a huge amount of vanity sizing because the actual waist measurement equates to 35 inches and that's taking into account the unstretched total.  I am currently a size UK16, sometimes a UK18 (eeek!!) and yes, they do fit me rather well.  The actual body and garment measurements provided on the Uniqlo website are pretty accurate too.

Pictured are the the three new pairs which arrived from the Uniqlo website today. They are #05 Grey; #65 Blue and #67 Blue.  All are sized 32/33.  I often find that the largest size, 32/33 isn't always in stock in the London stores.

Here's a close up of the label.

Pictured are three of my older pairs - I know that once of them is #04 (Light) Grey and #69 Navy.  The other is a much lighter, almost 1980s wash distressed denim wash which I purchased from one of the Regent Street Store.  I'm pretty sure that that colourway has been discountinued.

Finally, here are the other colours I have in the wardrobe - the black one is, surprisingly, #09 Black, a light blue (specific colour unknown) and a dark grey, which is one of the high waisted styles which was sold in about 2013ish and was removed from stock after one or two seasons (boo!)

Retailing in the UK at a very reasonable £34.90 I couldn't recommend them enough!
