Big and baggy jeans can be reused rather than thrown away. Some individuals tend to lose weight as well, and can repair their jeans to their new size. Other individuals may have “mom-jeans” or old jeans that they would like to wear. Overall, jeans can be expensive to buy.

It is assumed that the jeans fit your waist and hips, as this guide is for adjusting the leg area.
