Find perfect jeans for your body type
Basically a plug for zafu.com, a site that will help you find jeans to fit your body type via a short questionnaire.
The video features three "ordinary" women (read: not models) along with the jeans recommended to them by the zafu site.
Mind you I've never tried using zafu myself. Playing around with it, I was intrigued to pull up 86 matches, including brands I'd never heard of, in a wide price range. It returned the exact models, and where to buy.
zafu also had a new "find my bra" feature, but I was less impressed with the results. What made "find my jeans" nifty was the range of jeans returned...different prices and styles; some of them looked like something I would be interested in.
"Find my bra" was more limited in brands, styles and price range. Frankly, nothing in the results caught my eye. Still it seems like a promising feature. It may be well to check back on it after a while and see if more refinements have been made.

Wow, what a useful site. Except, I don't wear jeans myself. : )

I stopped wearing jeans after a point...basically after reasonably-priced jeans started becoming so bad.
I had a couple of pairs of jeans that went bad after less than a year. It's hard to adjust to if you're used to jeans lasting year after year...people used to really abuse their jeans, they would splatter them with bleach and "soften" them in the washing machine to break them in. But they lasted many years.
I've found it much easier to find khaki pants that last decently.
All of that said, I would probably try some of the results jeans first...to see if there's anything to it.

Agreed. I wear chinos (same difference?) instead. They're less casual, which I think is more versatile, but not lacking in durability.
