I bought jeans for both myself and Eor, yesterday - Levis 501, 505 and 550 - and Eor decided one of his three pair should go back, the 501s with a really dorky fashionable fade in the lap. He's planning to wear them to work, so the "I've never washed these and have been wearing them for three months" look is not really the look he's going for.

I tried my own on this evening and found that the black ones are faded in a rather dorky looking way, and that both the black and the brown pair are kind of tight around my thighs and loose around my lower legs. They're 505s, so this is the 'traditional' fit. I don't like that look. The blue pair are relaxed fit with tapered legs, the 550s, and are, in my opinion, the most flattering, and also not fashionably faded, so they're definite keepers.

Now here's the thing: Tomorrow I might be able to return the ones I don't like. Should I return the ones which fit but are not quite perfect? For $40 I feel I have a right to be picky. And if I do, should I try on the skinny, low rise, plaid jeans? They had one pair in my size, and those might be gone by tomorrow, but if they're not, should I give them a chance? Plaid? Jeans? Skinny low-rise? They might be severely unflattering, but they might be really cool, I'm not quite sure.
