In the past few weeks, we've introduced some common pitfalls to buying jeans, revealed ZipFit Denim—Chicago denim experts with a focus on fit and technology—as a cure for what ails you, and chatted with some local girls about what makes a guy's jeans worth putting on (and taking off). In this final installment for ZipFit Denim, we present to you one guy's first-hand account of ordering the perfect pair of jeans. 
A new pair of jeans from ZipFit, tailored and ready to wear.
"My co-workers know me as a 'jeans guy' and for good reason. I taught them what raw denim was and I educated them on how to clean their jeans in the freezer instead of the washing machine. Therefore, when a co-worker asked me to try out ZipFit, a new online service that promises to match men with the perfect-fitting pair of jeans, I was quick to accept.
I started by using ZipFit’s Quick Match tool because I wanted to see what kind of recommendations they had for me based on what jeans I already like. I got nine results back, including a pair of Mavi jeans that I already knew fit me well. I wasn't really sure which pair to pick so I decided to try the Fit Finder tool before making my final decision. I entered my body measurements into the Fit Finder tool and selected “average” for my torso, “arse,” thighs and calf sizes. I decided to go with the Earnest Sewn Kyrre Taper jeans, because I was looking for a thicker denim that could carry me through those long Chicago winters we all love so much.
A few days after ordering, I received my new jeans. The length was perfect and the jeans were expertly tailored. Overall the fit was good and I was pleased with ZipFit’s algorithm technology. For those of you who have never ordered jeans online before, I highly recommend checking out ZipFit!"
