Your figure has zero to do with longevity, so remove that metric from your brain. The #1 metric of jean longevity is the weight of the denim and the material being 100% denim. What BIFL jeans? Get the heaviest weight jeans you can find. As a guide, most Levi's jeans are 10-12oz/yard in terms of fabric weight. You want to look as far north of that as you can find. There are even some 30 to 40 ounces jeans that will stand up by themselves. Another option is double knee jeans since these are work jeans.

The downside is heavy jeans are hotter, so if this is an issue...you have to pick which side of the seesaw you want to play on.

It has nothing to do with longevity but I need them to fit which is why I mentioned it, I already have an incredibly hard time finding jeans at all.

I’ll looks for that in jeans though, im always cold so fine with being warmer

Fit, especially for females, is a you guessing game. Curvy is not a metric. Heck, even a legit Size 16 is not a metric as many brands don't conform. So for fit, good luck is all I can say. You should know that oz/yard is the metric to look for....brand don't mean shit...as long as you can find/afford jeans in a heavy weight made by Whogivesashit and they fit, you are good.

And for mens, its real easy as 34x34 in 90% of cases is true. Reason #884 when men have it easy. :)

Idk, curvy jeans are usually formulated to have a small waist and larger give in the hip. For me, there's a huge difference in fit between those styled "curvy" and regular jeans.

Exactly. I'm a mid-size/plus-size woman (size 14 jean, almost always) but I have a big belly, smaller hips/butt, and very skinny calves (compared to the rest of me... I look like a bowling ball on sticks) so my normal size in curvy is too small in the waist and way too large everywhere else.

I think that's mainly cause curvy is different to what people seem to want it to mean..

Curvy isn't a nice word for fat, its literally for women who are curvy which is so far from being fat, I'm not even saying this to be a dick or anything but it seems like the word is always used wrongly.
