Indi Denim: The Final Chapter – Plus Free Jeans for You
March 31st, 2009
Dying to know how our experience with indiDenim turned out? As you may recall, we visited the Emeryville-based company in January to try out the indiDenim Intellifit body scanner and order a new pair of jeans based on its high-tech measurements.
The jeans were ready within the four to six week time frame, so I headed into the indiDenim office for my final fitting. As I tried on the pair of trouser jeans I’d ordered (which look much like the jeans pictured here), I found myself wishing, hoping, crossing my fingers for a great fit. After all, the company did go out of its way to invite me in after the series of posts I’d written on this blog, and I was cringing at the thought of a negative turn-out.
But let’s hear it for modern technology, because the jeans fit almost perfectly. Barring a slight – very slight – tuck I’d take in the waist if I were in uber picky mode, they fit my body exactly as they should. The result is a super comfortable pair of jeans that I’ve found myself wearing multiple times a week.
And this time around, instead of offering up images of myself in the jeans as I did in past posts, I’ve got a different kind of gift to offer SF Indie Fashion readers. indiDenim has generously agreed to give the indiDenim Design Studio experience to one reader, whom I’ll be choosing over the next week. The winner will receive a gift card worth $170, a consultation with an indiDenim design consultant, an Intellifit body scan, ordering assistance for designing a great pair of jeans and a follow-up fitting when jeans arrive.
While I can’t restrict this offer to residents of the Bay Area, you’ll get the most out of it if you’re able to visit the indiDenim Design Studio in person, so keep that in mind.
Here’s how to win: leave a comment below (make sure to include a valid email address when you submit it). Comments will be accepted for the drawing until 11:59 p.m. (PST) on April 7, 2009. If you comment, your email address will go into a grab bag, and I’ll choose the winner April 8. Good luck!

This is so awesome. It’s so hard to find a good pair of jeans that will fit your butt and your waist, won’t be too long or too short, and that you can wear out and to work. Enter me!

Oh puhleez pick me.
I am a mostly skirt wearing lady. Butt is too big. Waist too small.
I am desperate for a pair of jeans that fits!

Small waist and large hips may be good for child bearing ( wouldn’t know personally but have been told) but it is HELL on denim shopping. I have tried everything from Levis to Citizens and always , ALWAYS end up with a gapping waist and super tight thighs. Won’t you help a pear-shaped girl out and pick me????

no jeans ever fit me! i’m dying to check these guys out to see if i can finally find a great pair…

i’m really glad your experience turned out positive. i’ve had so many time-consuming and expensive experiences getting clothes custom fit, or custom tailored, that ended up in frustration. part of the reason i don’t wear jeans is that i can very rarely find a pair in a style that i like that fit me – and i’m not big/tall/petite, so i can only imagine how it is for other people, so i bet this service will be hugely popular for those who are $able. please enter me - i live near e-ville so this would be a dream! thank you!

Count me in!!
I have the hardest time finding ones that fit perfectly.

OK, I would love to try some perfectly fitting jeans. Hurry, I need to win!

I could use a nice pair of jeans! I’m a hip-y lady so sometimes good pants are a hard find.

I can definitely see this being useful. I just stumbled across your blog by researching indi denim, and I must say I’m really impressed! I love your conversational writing style; it really holds my attention and is easy to read. I’m not sure when I’ll next be in California, but a new pair of jeans (especially custom fit) is always appreciated. Thanks for the review!
