Deborah Santana could never find jeans that fit, all the styles she could find off the rack were too long or sat too high on her waist. Now with her order from INDI she finally has a pair that fits! At five feet tall she was at a “loss to wear any of the great new styles.” This avid hiker and chef calls Colorado Springs home and considers Penelope Cruz her fashion icon because of her “hot, sophisticated timeless style.” And if she had her way (and if it was her favorite season, fall, year round) she’d wear “soft feminine sweaters and sophisticated dark washed jeans and great zip up leather boots everyday!”  The best thing she told us? “Since I found INDI I haven’t gotten up one day and said, “My legs are too short! My body is too curvy! Why cant I just look like the models in those ads!?!” Great to hear Deborah!

When it comes to shopping for jeans, Kimber Gollaher has a problem many people relate to. She calls this problem a love-hate relationship.“I love wearing a pair of jeans everyday but I hated shopping for them because it was always so time consuming and depressing only to end up with nothing or just something.” Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as the thrill of the hunt when it comes to shopping for jeans. Lucky for Kimber, she discovered INDI. While other denim brands are catching on and introducing sizes exclusively for tall and petite, there are still some things that you just can’t solve when nailing the right jean fit. For instance, Kimber explains, “did I mention I’m tall? (she’s 5’10) and yes you can find some jeans for tall people but they often aren’t cut with a woman’s curves in mind.” We couldn’t agree more—here at INDI, our system is designed to make your jeans according to your overall body measurement, not just certain factors such as height. Furthermore, we try to make the process of building your own pair accessible. Kimber notes that before she discovered INDI, she “owned the same couple pairs of jeans for years until out of desperation, the hunt would begin again. Now I can just hop online and access my design, pick a color, style and get exactly what will look great on me.”

When it comes to style icons, Kimber favors the petite actress, Rachel Bilson; “she always looks great no matter if the paparazzi catch her on a run for coffee or just hanging around in NY. She pairs classic items in unexpected ways that work and I am in awe of her talent!”  Kimber clearly understands the value of a great fit, when we asked her what is the best style advice she’s ever received, she replied simply “if it doesn’t fit right, get it tailored!” But we say, if they’re jeans, than you can just come to INDI and get a custom fit.

Denim lovers meet New Yorker Brian Brookshire. We first spotted Brian wearing his INDI jeans when he was featured in the Japanese fashion magazine Gainer (middle image). Brian’s style is perfectly crisp and well pressed.  There’s something about living in a major fashion capital that makes you well-versed in style; Brian knows what works great with jeans and we couldn’t agree more. His favorite jean/clothing combo is a basic pair of jeans with a blazer, vest, and loafers. He says that the best style advice he ever received was quality over quantity, “If you have fewer items that are all great, then you will always look great. If you own a lot of items that are all mediocre, then you will always look mediocre.”  And when it comes to jeans, everyone can agree that quality trumps quantity. Brian’s found a great classic fit straight leg that’s tailor-made for his body. Brian’s thoughts on the best part about having custom jeans? “No more trying on pair after pair that do not fit!” So that’s why if Brian ran INDI for a day he would introduce “INDIChinos! It’s just as hard to find chinos that both fit well and are styled well as it is to find jeans.”

Check out what Brian Brookshire is up to at his blog Adventures in Creating a Life of Freedom and Choice, where he writes about personal development, location independence, and reprogramming your thinking for success.
