here is a thread regarding the fits of earnest sewns:

fulton-the straight-leg jean.usually made from rigid denim which has pretty dark washes.slightly-tapered and has enough room fot the thighs.a very comfortable straight-leg jean

hutch-the bootcut jean.very great fit and awesome look.earnest sewn used selvedge in some models for the hutch.regular-waist and has a great boot cut at the edge.

jakimo-a super low-rise jean that has a fit similar to the offenders of levi's.its quite low so those faint-hearted are not welcome.earnest sewn used stretch denim in some models that makes it very comfortable and easy-fitting.

rotton-a tapered fit jean.made with selvage denim and is personal favorite of me.well-tapered and not too tight as some jeans fit.

Womens:

Hefner -- bootcut
Decca -- straight leg
Harlan -- skinny/cigarette leg
Garbo -- flare
Viceroy -- trouser leg
Fader -- asymmetrical mini skirt
Cutter -- longer skirt

& possibly more I am forgetting. Everything has a rise of about 7.5" and fits pretty much the same above the knee (except the viceroy, which has a more full leg). Also everything stretches differently ... some tons and some hardly at all.

More info about cuts/washes/fabrics for men, women & kids is available here.

I am regretting not buying some deccas (they may have been harlans-they super skinny, pretty much tapered) about a year ago when I had the chance...ugh..

Mikayla you should definitely get some Harlans if you get another chance. They are some of my favorite jeans of all time and I'm sure they'd be fantastic on you!

hah definitely. last year (i went in oct/nov-ish...i was abroad during the spring sale) i had a post it note of desired styles, sizes and washes from HFers and was digging ruthlessly through boxes of men's jeans. and by the time i left i just walked home with my coat in my hand because i was so hot!

ohh when that time comes around erika let me know. how much were they?

erika · #9 (**permalink**) 07-31-2006, 04:32 PM

i think each pair was $75, across the board -- pants, skirts etc. i remember signs being posted up but i think they were just identifying styles (ie, hefner is the bootcut, etc). they also had some tshirts, jean jackets, etc. that were priced differently. i think i remember tshirts being maybe $20 then.

an earnest cut & sew (the clothing...tops, etc.) expanded so hopefully this sale will be even better! i tried on hefners --- by the time i went all the deccas and harlans were gone, and only hefners and garbos were left, but i went a little late --- and the 24s were too big. just like pdc. sigh.
