The Results Are In – makeyourownjeans.com

August 23, 2007

UPDATE – May 30, 2010 – anti-spam reaction

In the almost three years since I wrote this post, it’s constantly been either the first or second most popular page on my whole blog.  I haven’t ordered from makeyourownjeans.com again, though I still wear their jeans almost every day.  The shirts eventually wore out and I had better ones, so they’re long gone.

However, I’ve been getting more and more annoyed with their sketchy business practices, and I can therefore no longer endorse them.  They’ve tried to spam this page with positive comments numerous times, they used my pictures below without my permission, and just today I searched Google for ‘blog.mpdaugherty.com’ and found out they’ve been using my review when spamming other websites.  The last one is the last straw for me, because not only do I have no control over it, but it also hurts my reputation.  I would never add comment spam to someone’s blog or website, and I don’t want them (or Google) to think I do.  If you’ve come here through one of those links, I apologize.

On the other hand, if you really just want to read the review I wrote so long ago, go ahead.  It’s unedited below.
