Customised jeans that are you

Nemuel Mutinda

In college, you only needed to own three nice pairs of jeans bought off the rack, or more likely from a mitumba stall, and your wardrobe was complete.

Even better, since your body has probably changed since college, you can even factor in body type and hair colour into the process of creating flattering customised jeans. You can choose where you want your pockets to be, the shape of the back pocket, style of the hem, the type of fly and finishing treatments. Also, you can choose the leg style — flared, drainpipe, straight, wide or skin-tight.

Jeans must be made of denim fabric. After identifying a good jeans making tailor, select the kind of denim you want from the samples he has or he can advise you where to buy the material.
