Zafu

I love denim. I really need new jeans, but I haven't been able to find a pair with a fit that I like. I think I just tend to get overwhelmed by the vast amount of selection out there and I don't have the patience or endurance to test every pair in a store to find the perfect pair. Again, it's the paradox of choice thing.

I heard about this website a while ago on the NYTimes, but I couldn't reach the site at the time - it was probably flooded with requests. I recently rediscovered its existence when I was cleaning out my bookmarks, so I haven't tried any of the jeans they recommend yet, but it seems pretty helpful for lazy shoppers like me.

It asks you a bunch of questions about how jeans normally fit on you, your height, typical size, etc and it recommends jeans for you based on your body shape and what you want out of your jeans (perkier butt, no saddlebags, etc)

Also, is it just me, or does it seem like $100-$120 is cheap for a pair of jeans these days? I remember when I used to buy jeans for $30/$35, but after premium denim got big, my old Tilt jeans no longer seemed like real jeans (they felt paper thin compared to premium denim).

Anyway, if any of you have tried Zafu or have bought based on the recommendations, can you let me know? I'm curious about how good it actually is.
