Yeah...I kept all of mine that were in good shape as well.,,,the straight leg jeans are coming back in style and I have over 30 pairs of them in sizes 3 and 5.

I think what really makes it where you actually wear a smaller size at the same weight is muscle since it weighs more than fat... if you are working out now and were not when wearing the same thing before then you will be smaller at the same weight now.
