WHEN DENIM JEAN sales
for -men dropped sharply
across the continent in 1982,
companies made some
major overhauls in styling
and colors.

This fall jeans are soft and
comfortable with a_ great
deal more detail and design.
Colors are clean and clear,
and above all, the pant legs
are slimmer than ever
before.

The sharp increase in sales
this year is a direct result of
the narrow silhouette, ac-
cording to Ric Mclsaac.
manager of “317” at the Bay
in downtown Vancouver.

“Last year the average
pant bottom was 18 to 20
inches around. This year the
pant average 18 inches and
we have pants with legs as
narrow as 13 inches around
the bottom,” Mclsaac said.

People wonder if they
have seen this phenomenum
before and they have.
Followers of the James Dean
and Elvis look of twenty
years ago made sure their
pants were as tight as
possible. MclIsaac assures
that though the bottoms are
tight this year the pants are
loose at the thighs toallowfor
comfortable wear.

Another 50s touch is the
shorter pant leg. “They are
wearing pants short enough
to make sure the socks
show,” MclIsaac explained,
and the loafer style shoes
make the look complete.

Stiff, dark blue jeans
collected dust on the shelf
last year, but when the same
styles came back this year
specially “stone-washed”
they were gone as fast as
they arrived. You don’t have
to wear the jeans for three
months before they have
that soft, comfortable look.

“With stone-washing they
have the pre-worn look and
feel,” McIsaac said. The
“stone-washing process
apparently does not break
down or weaken the fibre.

“Companies have gone
back to the ‘5 pocket’ basics.
There’s a lot of detail,
stitching around the
pockets, seaming to give the
layered look.”

Jeans that last year had
only two pockets and a little
computer style stitching,
have five pockets now and
stitching across the knee and
thigh giving the appearance
the pants are made from
several different pieces of
material.

Through a “double-dye”
process there are jeans that
are one color such as yellow
on the inside and green on
the outside. Roll up the
bottom cuff and you have a
two-tone pair of jeans.
