Design Your Own Jeans! at indi

indi, a custom jeans brand, is a new entrant to the premium jeans market with a radical new innovation -- each pair of jeans is custom designed and sewn specifically for each consumer. This exciting new brand offers both men's and women's jeans and enables its customers to design their own pair choosing from literally hundreds of possible style variations. Customers also answer a few simple body shape questions, and each design is then custom fit, creating a truly one-of-a-kind jean for each indi customer.

A pair of jeans -- the staple of most wardrobes is often the most challenging clothing item to find. Typically, consumers of all shapes and sizes brave racks of mass produced clothing that was actually designed for an ideal fit model. Simply look around and it's obvious that we unfortunately don't all resemble a fit model so not surprisingly it can be difficult to find clothing that both fits you and reflects your style. indi's approach to jeans is revolutionizing the way consumers shop for jeans. Their philosophy: you were not mass produced so why should your clothing be? indi allows you to wear something made just for you, and to top it off, they do this at a competitive price.

At indicustom.com consumers are asked to choose their own fabric, style options and finishing details and fill out a fit profile. This is all indi needs to create a unique pattern for each and every customer. Women's options include super low to high rises, multiple leg styles such as tapered, bootcut or cropped and over 30 different back pocket options. Men can make their jean a basic 5 pocket or add carpenter styling, and both men and women can select sanding and distressing treatments. Customized orders are then sent to a highly specialized manufacturing facility, where they are cut, sewn, tested for quality, and shipped direct to the customer's address.

indi launched its premium jeans (http://www.indicustom.com) line in December of 2007 with two styles for each women and men. indi's women's jeans (http://www.indicustom.com/navigation.do?method=DISPLAY_WOMENS_JEANS) include the SoMa for a jean that's slimmer through the hip and thigh or the Noe style that's more relaxed. Edie Jacquez, indi's head of Product Development, explained "indi allows our customers to customize the styles we offer to build their perfect jean. You could spend days shopping for a jean in a style, rise, leg and wash right for you or you can create yours in minutes at indicustom.com." In early 2008, indi will expand its selection, introducing a trouser jean for women and a low rise jean for men.

Nothing you wear expresses your personal style more than a pair of jeans. Now, you can design your one-of-a-kind custom jeans. Become an indi designer and create yours at www.indicustom.com.

Seven For All Mankind Women's Fit Guide

Found this guide at national jean company:

7 FOR ALL MANKIND
7 for All Mankind by denim guru Jerome Dahan, are known for their buttery soft stretch, comfortably snug fit and celebrity following. The magic of 7 for All Mankind is the way they maximize the shape of the wearer.
The A Pocket has a low rise and fits the shape of the leg: narrow at the knee, flare bottom. The waistband is contoured, lower in the front than in the back. This protects against a peek-a-boo in the back and makes the jean look generally lower in the front. This stretch denim is very forgiving on athletic legs, and rounder bottoms.

The Bootcut has a low rise, sits low on the hips and has a snug fit through the leg, loosens just above the knee. This is the signature jean by Seven.

The Dojo is the lowest fitting jean from 7 for All Mankind. The fit is tight through the leg, until it breaks into wider trouser leg. The bottom has a wide hem for a very sharp and sophisticated look.

The Ginger Wide Leg is a lightweight denim style with the spirit and style of the 1970’s. The contoured waistband has a front rise of 9”, 13.5” in the back. A single crease runs down the front and back of the legs giving the legs a long and lean look.

The High Waisted Trouser is a sophisticated and fashion forward style. They fit slim through the hips and fit wide through the thighs and leg. This is our highest rise at 13.75” and higher in the back at 16.25”. The slant front pockets add to the trouser style and the besom back pockets give a clean and smooth appearance. This only embellishement is a crease down the front and back of the leg.

The Kate Straight Leg is a slim fitting jean with a slightly stretchy feel. The denim pant has five pocket styling and straight leg. The waistband is contoured for a flattering fit on the waist and hips, a lower rise in the front at 7.5” and higher in the back at 12.25”.

The Lucy Skinny Pant combines the aesthetic of a jean, rivets, pockets, button, zipper fly with the feel of a legging. Runs true to size. The thick knit fabric keeps you in and warm. Fantastic with boots.

The Roxanne is the essential silhouette for a sophisticated denim look. Roxanne has a tapered, slimmed-down leg, intended to scrunch at the ankle over a killer pair of heels. The back of the jean has a yoke that rounds and lifts the bottom. The contoured waistband flatters the waist and hips, giving coverage in the back at 13.5” and lower rise in the front at 7.5”.

Stepping on my Jeans

So, for most of my life it was cool to have frayed jeans. I would buy a pair, wear them for a bit, excited about the day the bottoms would begin to fray. Then there would be that perfect moment, when the jeans sat in a perfect state of "frayededness?". They would hang there for a bit and then get to the point of just gross, usually around the same time that holes would begin to appear in the knees, and I knew it was time to say goodbye.

That was all fine and good with my Gap, or JCrew Jeans. I'm not sure I'm down with it with a near $200 pair of jeans. The problem I have is my jeans fit perfect with my work shoes, but when I switch to my flatter "sneaker-shoes" on the weekend, I start to feel my jeans under my heels. My wife says that this is why women have sneaker jeans and shoe jeans, and I need to get a pair dedicated to sneakers. My question is, is she right? And if so, does that mean that I don't go for frayed bottoms anymore.

What's the protocol with a pair of seven for all mankind. Frayed or not. I'm afrayed :) I'm gonna be in for a dedicated pair. We will see.
