I ordered one pair several months ago, and they came out pretty well. I then ordered 2 pairs of the exact same fabric and measurement. They are terrible. I honestly believe that they have faked the denim to look like Selvedge by sewing on a white edge. The fabric is thin and when washed, twisted, and will not hold the shape. The seams twist from the sides to the front of the jeans.

I wrote to them a few times, included pictures at their request. They will do nothing.

I cannot get in touch with anyone. I would rather have crappy non fitting jeans for the $70 than nothing at all. Still trying to reach them. And yes,m email is the ONLY way….going around the internet now posting everywhere to make sure even though i’m out of my money maybe i can save others from losing theirs.

The jeans I got were 1/2″ to 3″ off in many areas. Multiple emails to them regarding the problem get boilerplate responses or “We didn’t get your previous email due to technical difficulties, please resend. We await your prompt response.” Also, they charged me more than what my invoice shows, including some fee CBC fee. False advertising on website states: Get Tailor Made Jeans As Per Your Specifications Starting at $49, Customize your measurements as below. We make them to fit your needs, your measurements, your special requirements. All our garments are hand cut and individually sewn, as a testimony with and made products they may sometimes differ slightly with the measurements submitted, however as we check each product individually the difference will not be much. Company finally answered asked me for measurements where they were wrong (which I did in 3 previous emails), they told me they sent the right size, to look at the writing on the inside of the jeans and that jeans will stretch! How absurd is that…I can’t even zip them shut. I also have photos with a measuring tape showing they are liars. I’ll never do business with them or an overseas company again. So much for helping the global economy. Have filed a report with my credit card, the FTC, here, BBB and several other places. Here is part of email they sent, stating the size I ordered for waist…take a look at what it actually came in as. I can’t close the zipper, certainly won’t get them to stretch almost 3″ more! “We rechecked our Cutting report and find that:- 1. The waist measurement you have given is 28 inches and our designers have made it 28.5 inches.You can see on the reverse side the waist measurements it is infact cut more than what the waist you have given. You can measure the waist again from the button to the button eye hole stretching it fully.The jeans will become more loose as you wear them. 2. The Front Rise measurement you have given is 10 inches and our designers have made it accordingly. You have ordered stretch jeans, they stretch when you wear. All stretch jeans are made this way. Let us know where are we wrong in following your Measurements.” And of course they go by paperwork, I have the actual finished, incorrect product.

They have yet to respond to two photo evidence I have sent them or offered my money back. They think because they’re in India they’re not reachable but they are wrong. I’m filing a complaint with their local police department, high court and anyone else I can write to. People like them are a disgrace to their country and to business on the net in general. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

My boyfriend ordered a pair of jeans from this website, as he is tall and it is difficult to find jeans that are the right fit. We spent a lot of time measuring exactly what he wanted, and ordered from makeyourownjeans.com. The jeans arrived and were not at all what we ordered. They were SEVEN INCHES off, needless to say they did not fit at all. When we contacted customer service they gave us the run around, and did not offer to fix the problem. The told us that we could order and pay for ANOTHER pair and would give us a small discount, but that we would still have to pay for the pair that they messed up. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE, they will keep your money and you won’t receive a product to the specifications that you request.

I wish I had the skill to do something like that…

I have always had trouble with jeans, even expensive ones like Not Your Daughter’s jeans leave me with the dreaded, uncomfortable “muffin top.” I can sew very well (I even made my own wedding gown) but like most of us, am time-challenged these days. I was thinking of ordering from this company, but after reading these negative remarks, I’m going to whip out the old Singer again. For those of you who are interested, Butterick has a basic misses’ jeans pattern, #5403. Sizing is comparable to ready to wear and it’s multi-sized so you can “tweak” it to your body Good luck!

When I complained, customer service basically said tough luck. I’m, however, one of the lucky ones… from the many complaints regarding makeyourownjeans.com, I can at least wear my jeans. Most can’t even wear their jeans. Stay away from this company.

My first pair of jeans from makeyourownjeans was disappointing but that was my fault from not measuring correct. However I did order a button fly and got a zipper, that sucked, and then the zipper handle broke the second time I zipped it. Got a 15% discount on my next order to remedy the situation.

For my second pair I made the adjustments needed and was very pleased. I got a button fly. These have been the best jeans I’ve ever worn.

I am now waiting for my third pair and have mad minor adjustments to my measurements.

The website is not the best. It should have more of a description of the fits, and explain what they do to your measurements for the certain fits. Also they should have a fit under the drop down menu that is “fix” meaning to create the jeans to exactly the given measurements.

Love the jeans! I’m an avid banana republic shopper and these are at minimum equal to their quality, and probably better. I think the tailors may overlook small details from the mundane aspect of their job, ie button flys. Regardless I’m a buyer for life.

I bought two cargo pants… Finally what a crap arrived at my home in New York…
Believe me .. I even did not try single time….

Boot CUT Cargo pants had holes….
Stitching very poor… Cloth quality is very very poor….
No comparison with GAP or BANANA REPUBLIC.

I wasted $130 for tow pants….
I could have arranged myself from India for $10 since my family is in INDIA.

Bottom line… Looking for quality… do not do internet shopping from INDIA.

What a waste of money , I could have contributed that money to child support….
