The Denim Guy

For the past few weeks, you’ve been hearing a lot about our preparations for Reader Review Month. From garnering participation of several premium denim lines to fitting individual readers in the most flattering jeans possible, we’ve been working around the clock to bring you the best information possible on all of your favorite brands.  And with the New Year upon us, the time has come to present all of you with our findings.

The idea of Reader Review Month came to me in speaking with one of my closest friends and loyal TheDenimGuy.com reader, Suzanne.  Sure, the information she found on the site was insightful and entertaining, but what about the rest of the readers who don’t have the typical measurements of most bite-sized denim models? What kind of denim would look best on, well. . . real people?

Since I’ve started this blog, it has always been my mission to present readers with information only insiders have been privy to.  But with this feedback, I saw an opportunity to not only further educate our readers about the versatility of some denim lines, but also inform these companies about the likes and dislikes of their real life consumers.

So last month, I asked several of our local readers, men and women with a variety of different body types, to send me a list of problems they have when choosing a pair of denim. The responses came in from all over Los Angeles and I was able to compile a team of over 20 reviewers ready to let me show them that finding the right pair of denim doesn’t have to be so frustrating.

As a result, several premium denim lines were eager to participate, allowing me to choose the best possible style, cut, and wash from a variety of top-tier brands. The end product is a series of accounts from real people, with real body types, who (after some trial and error) have fallen in love with their new pairs of denim.

I of course couldn’t have completed this project on my own. I would first like to thank one of my best friends Joanne Rapadas for her help writing and editing content as well as providing behind the scenes photography the day of the photoshoot. I would also like to thank Samuel Lippke who graciously volunteered his time and services to photograph each of our reviewers in over 80 pairs of denim.  And lastly, Tamika Cosen, our review editing guru and my pillar of support throughout this entire process. Thank you for always going above and beyond.

So it is with great pride and anticipation that I present to you Reader Review Month. I hope you enjoy the blogs we’ve put together and can relate to many of the reviewers we will be featuring throughout the month. But most importantly, I hope you’ll find the information we provide to be relevant to your needs and helpful in your decision when purchasing your next pair of denim.
