I am quite excited - skinny jeans for the over 40s. For the record I love my per una straight leg jeans (bought several years ago).

But are you now telling me I can't buy them? Are they not instore?

Depends what size you are.. I was after 12 medium or long and they don't have them. I've recklessly gone for the 12 short and I am 5' 4" !! I've yet to receive them and be disappointed - but looks like Sazbo could have them!

They are not in store or online.. very upset... they've sold out - which is a shame as the reviews were great!

Sazbo

Well I haven't laughed so much in a long time! Now I know you're not going to believe me here, but sometimes Marks' short length trousers are too long for me:o But then again I am a smidge under 5 ft:o. In fact I'm sure they've got longer over the years... either that or I've got shorter :rotfl: Maybe I should start a thread about where to get petite trousers lol!

I will keep you informed, I've had an email to say that my too short for me trousers have been dispatched....

I may be sending you a pm soon asking for your address.......

The way I see it Saz - you can't lose here!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

LOL, but hun you don't know yet - they might be ok for you! And whereas a short length might fit me ok, I'm usually on the wrong end of a size 12:o, we can't win can we!

I'm the wrong size of 12 and 5' 4" ....... think you are in the winning position at the moment!

Meanwhile, postie not leave a parcel this morning - could've been them or my much gambled upon boots that I have ordered.... I like to live dangerously and take risks... :eek:

They've arrived! I haven't tried them on yet - am knackered and have just slid into my jim jams, but will try them tomorrow. I held them up and they looked like they may reach my ankles, if I shrink a bit... but if the fit is right, they will be perfect with my long Emu boots.

If not, Saz, you are onto a winner!

Meanwhile, my more ankle length boots that I ordered on Ebay, well before the jeans, have yet to arrive......... I don't order on Ebay as I don't feel safe with the sellers, I'm not used to them and I am not saying that they are not good or anything, but I do get 'comfort' from ordering from big names... so I am a little nervous that they have run off with my money.. If/when the shorter boots arrive, I need some skinny's to go with them.... Any ideas?? Got to sit on the waist and be a generous 12 or skinny 14!! :rotfl: Just like the Per Una ones that M & S have hardly any sizes in!!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Maybe I'm older than you lot but I LOVE M&S Per Una jeans (Roma fit)
Always seem to have a great selection of sizes and colours in but I do live near a very large M&S store which I visit quite frequently.

They have a fast turnaround time for their stock which keeps it fresh with new lines being introduced all the time.

I doubt that you are older than me...

I read a good write up about the Per Una and got all excited and then was very disappointed to find that I couldn't get the size I wanted! As you have probably read on previous post, I ordered the ones in short anyway... I am a bit reckless. I will be trying them on tomorrow and keep you all informed! I think they will be too short for short boots if you see what I mean but think that they will be okay for my longer ones!

Linda, you seem to be an expert, do they ever re stock? Or is it a case that if they have sold out of the size you want, thats it, tough!??

I only know from asking the sales assistants, I think she said that regular stock like Per Una has a 4 week turnaround time and the Limited collection is a 2 week turnaround :eek:
