I am huge fan of tailor made clothing since I went to Asia last summer and got two wicked suits for work made for $150 each (that included jacket, pant and skirt). I love all the pieces and feel good wearing them. So nice to not have jackets look like they are 3/4 length sleeves, pants not look like capris and skirts not look inappropriately short.
Santa brought me a few magazines in my stocking and one of them was InStyle. It had a great article on ordering tailor made jeans. The author actually tested two different companies; one high end ($100+) and one low end (under $70) to see what they could produced. You pick the style and color of the jeans and then send a number of measurements. Someone in India gets all the information and they make your jeans and mail them off to you.
I decided to test out makeyourownjeans.com and they arrived last week after placing my order in early January. The total cost ended up being $87 with shipping.
The Verdict
A bit too big (was maybe too generous on the measurements) and too long but I can wear them with heels and for a change my jeans don't gape at the waist in the back. Will purchase more.
