AE has a bunch.

Thanks, but unfortunately I have never been able to wear AE jeans - they look awful on me

Have you tried the Salt Works Orchard St? The flap is a bit different, but I think they're pretty much universally flattering. I know a lot of girls here (myself included) have had good luck with them.

ETA: Goclothing.com has them on sale for $94.50 right now and most sizes are still available.

I would try TJ Maxx or Marshalls - I tried on some really cute flap pockets at TJs yesterday. The brand I think was MMM Couture?

tri_sarah_tops - thank you - those are really cute! Would you say they are TTS? I wear a size 28 in my James and COH's - do they fit the same? Also - how's the length? I have long legs, so I worry about the inseam. Thank you

I wear a 27 in COH, Joe, and stretch 7's and I wear the same size in these, so yeah, I think they're pretty TTS. I think the length is ok, although someone taller might be better positioned to answer that question; I am only 5'2 so I had to have them hemmed. I think the inseam is 33 or 34, but I'm not sure.

that sounds like the perfect inseam length for me, but if anyone taller can answer - I'd appreciate it.

One last thing - what color was do you have tri_sarah_tops or other w/these jeans? Do you have the color you posted - Aruba? Just wondering what the best wash is? Thanks again!

I'm not sure of the exact length but I am 5' 11" and they fit me fine. I can't wear really high heels though.

I find they are TTS, I take a 28 in most thing and they fit perfectly.

I like genuine wash, but I prefer darker washes

Thanks for the info! Does anyone have the lighter Aruba wash? That's the only color/size left on goclothing.com.

member · Hermes

Ok please help me choose what color Salt Works I should get and from what website. Here's what I found.

I can get the South Beach color from Daszign for $87.05 shipped:

Or I can get the Aruba color from GoClothing for roughly $93.00

I can't decide which color - the Arubas are lighter, but I have seen neither IRL and have no experience w/ordering from either website. Can someone who does, please help me??!! Thank you.

And I am not breaking my shopping ban for these - my boyfriend is buying them for me

I prefer the South Beach because I think the faded spots are just a bit too light on the Aruba, but I think it really depends on which wash you'd get the most wear out of. Since the sales are so good I may get them in South Beach just because most of my jeans are darker. When you get them, please let us know what you think. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Thanks for posting this - I was hesitant about the Aruba because it looks really light. I think I'll go w/South Beach.

Has anyone ordered from Daszign before? Just wondering how they are?

I LOVE my Salt Works orchards. I have two pairs -- genuine and polished. The inseam on mine is probably 33.5" on the genuine and 34" on the polished, so it's probably somewhere around there.

The genuine and polished are the darker washes right (not super dark, but darker)?? I can't find those in my size anywhere

member · Hermes

HB - how tall are you? My biggest fear is that they'll be too short, so that's why I keep asking! Just want to know how tall you are and if they are long enough w/heels?

Metric · Gucci

have you checked out what's availible at goclothing.com?

Yep and the only color they have in my size is Aruba, which is too light for my taste

Shopchicago, I don't know if you'd be up for a trip to the 'burbs but I just came from E Street Denim in Highland Park and all the Salt Works are 50% off. They had all washes, but I didn't check sizes (as tempting as it was, I really don't need new jeans). You could probably call them and see if they have your size in one of the darker washes, if that's what you're really interested in.
