Custom Jeans For Every Butt

from the close,-but... dept

Taking a page from the guy who tried to get custom Nike shoes to say "sweatshop" is this Salon reporter who tried to get an anti-mass customization tract printed on a pair of "custom" Levi's jeans (actually, I'm a little confused as to what she actually wanted printed on the jeans - the article rambles on quite a bit at points). In the end, it didn't come out the way she wanted, which isn't really a surprise. The concept of "mass customization" isn't so much about creating unique products - as it is about offering plenty of different options that a consumer can tweak to meet their own requirements.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

    Jeans for Gs

    If customized jeans could make pockets in obscure places, then drug dealers and junkies can better hide their pills, packet, syringes, or blades. If such jeans become popular, then strip searches may have to become the norm of police conduct. Minority organizations will no doubt raise a fuss, and jeans makers will eventually be held responsible.

      Once again you've managed to pack an extraordinary amount of wrong into surprisingly few sentences.
      This web log's primary subject matter is technology and the technology industry. I wonder if you understand this. This is not a place for you to express your thinly veiled hatred of others. Go play on Metafilter.

        Thanks for the lead, though it looks like they aren't taking new logins at this time. Unless you happen to have a spare login I could use....

      can't drug dealers just sew on pockets wherever they want? i know it's a foreign concept but clothing was made pre-technology.

      Gosh! As things stand today folks can already hide hip flasks or other drugs in their pockets. If the idea is to make a police state as convenient as possible, and not to repeal the idiotic prohibition laws which begat it, why not simply ban all clothing? It's the logical conclusion, is it not?

      Re: custom made jeans

      I tried that, but I think they're no longer around. I found mejeans.com, a "true" custom jeans website. Great selection and really easy ordering...Plus free shipping (what a bonus)! Really a great find, and I (and my wife)will always buy custom jeans from now on!

    Custom Jeans For Every Butt

    Good comment about mass-customization...True Customization is what's offered at mejeans - Custom jeans that are made to fit you and only you, and look exactly the way you want them to look. It's a slam dunk as far as I'm concerned...Custom made jeans inherently will be exactly what the customer wants - And since shipping is free and there's a satisfaction guarantee, mejeans seems to be the way to go!

    I bought a suit, what a rip-off!

    I ordered a suit, it came all wrong….Wrong color, wrong measurements, and wrong sleeves. They decided not to take responsibility and fix the problem. Instead they wanted me to pay for *another* suit (at a discounted rate). I guess they want me to keep paying for suits until they get it right…What a rip-off!

    They sent me the wrong size (on multiple measurements).
    -Shoulders measure 18.75" (I ordered 20")
    -Thighs are 23.5" (I ordered 26")
    -Color was wrong (They were out of the material I ordered so they sent me a different color w/out asking me - the color they sent looks very outdated).
    -Jacket has 4 button sleeves (I ordered 3 buttons)

    The customer service is terrible…, everything done via email. I ordered the suit at the beginning of Nov. It’s been almost 2 months later now and they are still giving me the run-around.

    Take a look at the negative feedback on eBay; I’m sure it’s all true (no matter what excuse he makes up to defend himself). If you decided to take the risk of buying something from him.

    Got my indi!!!

    I am so happy, just got my pair of indi jeans and they look and feel hot!!! I created mine with just the style I like, low rise with back pocket flaps. I even got a discount using a coupon code I found, not sure when it expires.

    The coupon code is getindi, you can save $10 off your order.

    Shawn, good luck getting your money back from americanfitapparel.com, looks like they went out of business.

    Cheers,
    Yoon
