Your first pair of jeans? I was looking at the seven or so pairs of jeans in my wardrobe and suddenly remembered the first pair I ever bought. I was 17 and had to go to the Army and Navy surplus store-no-one else stocked them. My mother wouldn't let me have ones that zipped up the front-they were mens and no respectable girl would wear trousers with a fly front!!! I had to have womens with a zip at the side. They were too baggy. I narrowed the legs then sat in a hot bath wearing them so they shrunk to size. I wore them with a big black polo necked jumper and thought I was very cool!

My first trousers were Tartan Trews around 1961 when I was 14. They were very wide and soon I took them in by hand sewing all down the side seams to make them narrower! I can't remember my first jeans but I always aspired to Levis which I finally bought for the exorbitant price of about £5 when I was around 19. I wore them for years and years although I was never happy with the outside seam which seemed to curve around. Wranglers suited me better but I couldn't afford them till I was about 24 years old! I have since worn men's jeans, bootcuts and stretchy narrow legs (when I lost weight) depending upon my changing shape and size but I still love jeans! My bum feels good in them!
