Oh, FoPAA, softwear doesn't make jeans. It is a stretchy fabric, kind of like Chico's Travelers and I like their pants because they come in Petite sizes. I buy them at Nordstrom and wear them to work at least 90% of the time. They are ultra comfy, easy to wash, never wrinkle and can get by as dressy enough if I have an important client meeting on the same day that I am also out in the shop, which is almost every day. I am very hands on with my projects so my job involves a lot of climbing, stooping, squatting, stretching, etc., as I help create, put up, take down, inspect and/or evaluate varous exhibits.
