They’ve once more measured thighline (or crotchline – fullest part of the upper leg) and hemline (the line used for the finished hem), which will determine the wideness of jeans legs. They’ve also measured seat depth (depth of the figure, while sitting on a flat surface) and center seams, to determine where the waist of the jeans is going to be: not too high or too low – we want it just perfect! :)

Our Twitter follower asked us today (after we’ve twitpicked some photos) “Where are the iPhone pockets?! :(” :) So, let me explain: today there were no pockets on wtfJeans. Not even one. It’s because this first fitting is done on the “skeleton”. It is basically just two legs stitched in the middle. During this fitting was decided where all the extra parts (including iPhone pockets) are going to be sewed… Long story short: iPhone pockets will be visible tomorrow after second, and hopefully last fitting. ;)

We were so happy but also confused. Why confused? Well, it wasn’t an easy decision: 10 models, 5 male and 5 female versions. The only thing all these models had in common was that they were all straight cut and had special pockets for iPhones. So, we were deciding something like this: “Model No3 is completely out, but I really like how the waist looks on No1, and I like the back pockets on No4. Or maybe, we could combine them with a front pockets of No1…” :))

After 3 hours, we have finally decided. Or, we thought so. ;)

When we went to tailor’s shop, we thought that they will just do the measuring and that’s it. Oh, we were so wrong! :)

When you get one of the best tailors in the whole country, be sure that they’re not gonna simply sew from design that you provide them with. Oh, no! If they accept to work for you, they have the intention to make it as best as possible, and they will ask you million of questions. :) We were definitely not prepared for that! :) Our designer works with this tailor for quite some time, and they make a very good team, so they both helped us a lot. And they also explained us things such us: importance of choosing the perfect sewing stitches, how size of back pockets can visually make our bottoms bigger or smaller… We’ve also learned that 95% of men wear IT on the right side :)) – although I really can’t remember why was that important. :))

The biggest problem we had at tailor’s was choosing the inner padding for iPhone pockets. The one we had in mind can’t be used because it can not be washed on the same temperatures as denim. One more thing we’ve learned from our tailor: choosing compatible fabrics. At the end, “the winner” for padding was a type of microfiber material, which is both perfect for iPhones and compatible with denim’s washing and drying.
So, after a couple of hours of brainstorming, we had final design versions together with stitches, pockets, fabrics, zippers, buttons, and all other variety of things we didn’t even know exist!

These wtfJeans prototypes will be finished on Tuesday, fittings are on Monday, so: stay tuned to see how they look like :)
