This year's big story with jeans has been big turn-ups, preferably a minimum of four inches.

Pepe is one of the companies producing suitable denim jeans, such as the style shown here. Woven from finest Japanese indigo denim and on original narrow-width 28-inch looms, the fabric used is finished with a sturdy selvage and dip-dyed no less than 24 times. Valued at £80 a pair, they will be available in limited quantities worldwide next spring.

However, right now we have five pairs of the Pepe jeans to give away to Irish Times readers. There is one pair in each waist size from 30 inches to 34 inches and all you have to do to be eligible is send your name and address, clearly stating your waist size on the outer envelope, to: Pepe Jeans Offer, The Promotions Department, 10-16 D'Olier Street, Dublin 2, by first post on Friday, December 19th 1997. The first name out of the bag in each of the five sizes will win a pair of the jeans.
