I'm not a regular shopper at Old Navy, but when I needed a basic jean for cheap it was the first place I headed. In the store, I noticed a little gap on the waistband, but everything I tried on that day had it. I have always had a problem with this, so I decided I would buy the pants ($25, who wouldn't?) because I loved the wash and fit on every other part of my leg/bum. I figured that after I laundered it, there might be a difference.
I was right; there was a huge difference. Now when I put them on, the only parts that nipped in were where I didn't need and the waistband is baggier than ever. I assume this is because the jeans shrank everywhere but the waist. I am seriously considering trying to return them on the basis of shoddy workmanship. You get what you pay for, I suppose! I still otherwise love these jeans and will try to find a belt, but am very irritated about this.
Will I stop shopping at Old Navy? Well, I just saw a commercial for their new sweaters... so probably will go back - y'know, since I have to return the jeans anyway!
