I've had 2 or 3 pairs of AG jeans and never had a problem, but they probably use different blends of denim for each style, of different weights and with varying degrees of stretch. The good news is you bought them at Nordstrom. If you're not happy with the quality you can and should promptly return them and choose another pair. They won't even bat an eyelash.

I've never had that problem with my AG jeans, but my newest pair is 2 years old.

I got a pair of AG jeans from Nordstrom a few weeks ago after hearing rave reviews from posters from here and the Nordstrom saleswoman. I have to say that after several wears, I am really unimpressed. They seem to stretch out just as much as my Gap jeans. I've had Sevens, Citizens, and Joe's jeans in the past and none of them stretched out as much as the AG jeans. Is this normal??
