Jeans abound in every size, shape, and color--not only are their lovably frayed 70s leftovers for the vintage lovers out there, but even stone-washed 80s style dungarees for the fashion clueless. Customers bored with traditional denim can choose from velvet, suede, and corduroy varieties. Faux-suede pants in black, blue, brown, and tan ($28) seem to be a current in-house trend...
