Old Navy For Jeans, Cotton & Linen Part II

In part I, I talked about how Old Navy has truly stepped up its game since the retailer first opened its doors in 1994. The range of causal smart and date night aparel is wide and fashionable. Decent quality at unbeatable prices! Not exactly top quality, yet Old Navy dresses, t-shirts, and layering pieces tend to hold up for many machine washings.

In this part II the focus is on denim pieces that give customers plenty of bang for the buck! You’ll own them for years to come because they’re durable, versatile and always in style.



1) First up is the Long Denim Barn Coat in a dark blue wash, perhaps my favorite piece of the offerings. The coat has a spread collar, long raglan sleeves, button front, front welt pockets and a vented back hem. A dark rinse is always dressier than lighter rinses. It’s selling out fast!


2) Fit and flare Sleeveless Denim Midi Dress - Available in 2 dark rinses (black or blue) with a square neck, wide straps and a seamed skirt.

3) Baggy Wide-Leg Jean Overalls - Oversized jeans with a bib pocket, utility and back packets and adjustable buckled straps. 


 4) 
Long-Sleeve Denim Jumpsuit - It has a spread collar, tie-belt waist, covered zipper; with chest, front and back pockets.

5)  Oversized Jean Trucker Jacket - The jacket has lots of buttons and pockets in all the right places: Long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, a full-button front, button-flap and chest pocket, vertical welt pockets, a button table at the waist and a seamed front. Plus the pants in the matching wash is available.

Old Navy seems to have replaced its pricey sister company, The Gap, offering customers good quality at more reasonable prices. It's what the Gap used to do. Decades ago I bought my lined denim jacket at the Gap and still wear it. Today consumers can turn to Old Navy for similar quality and selections as the old Gap. I love Old Navy’s high-toned additions at affordable price points!

Mott And Bow Jeans


Mott and Bow Jeans began as an online retailer for men, but the retailer now also makes shirts and jeans for women. 

Founder Alejandro Chahin is from a Honduran family of denim manufacturers, from whom he learned the business, and as an adult, he started Mott and Bow with the aim of making premium jeans at a fair price. 

According to its website, the company uses the finest denim from the best mills around the world. It sticks to simplicity and controls the entire manufacturing process to reduce waste and control costs.

Priced at $99 - $129, Mott and Bow's jeans are popular and have many glowing customer reviews. Most of the styles are 98% cotton with 2% elastane for stretch. 

The jeans come in several fits including straight, slim, and skinny. They are stretchy and breathable for comfort. They also come in multiple washes. The website walks you through the process of finding your perfect style, fit, and size, plus if you fail to get your fit right, there are instructions in your package on how to exchange your jeans (with free returns).

What caught my eye were the many positive reviews written by journalist reviewers, as well as, satisfied customers often mentioning the comfort of the jeans at a reasonable price point.

Explain: Why do men's clothing and shoes tend to be sturdier and better made than women's? Not to mention the sizes are more precise. Do we all not need quality, affordability, and a good fit?
