Got Quads?

I have the calf issue, but not giving up my skinny pants. I love being able to wear them at my age. I buy Gap skinny or jeggings because they stretch a bit. Of course, the top part falls down, too because of this.

I love Gap's jeans (though I prefer the boot-cut) except for that problem. They're fine out of the dryer, but after two or three days...

My favorite Gap jeans just fell apart the other day.

I can't wear their "skinny" jeans but the "real straight" look like skinny jeans on my calves. However, I crouched down wearing them the other day, and the knee just split wide open. After looking closely at my Long 'n Lean pair (bought at the same time), the butt is getting pretty threadbare and I'm afraid of those splitting as well. I bought them both in fall of 2010 so they're hardly 2 years old (though I did wear them a LOT). Not sure I'm going to buy them again, at least not new. I found an older pair at Goodwill the same time I bought the Levis and they seem to be thicker and less stretchy so hopefully they last a little longer.

(And Owlie...you think 2-3 days is bad...I'm pretty sure some of mine go weeks between washings!)
