I don’t know about the rest of you, but there is nothing that can make me feel either like a million bucks or like Jabba the Hut in no time flat like a pair of jeans. When they’re perfect, nothing’s better. When you’ve tried on a dozen pairs and nothing fits right… well, that’s depressing.
I’d never gone the custom-made jeans route until I was contacted by the fine folks at Thimbler, who assured me that my perfect jeans were just a few steps away. I chose the cut, the fabric, and the finish… entered my measurements… and a few weeks later, voila! Jeans that fit me like they were made specifically for me. Because they were! I got exactly what I wanted (dark wash, boot cut, none of the distressing that the young folks seem to love but causes me to designate jeans as “pre-chewed”) in a fit custom-made to conform to my body. Thanks, Thimbler!
Now, I’d argue that paying $87 for their custom jeans is worth every penny, but why buy ‘em when you can win a pair? That’s right—one lucky Want Not reader is going to win her very own pair of custom fit Thimbler jeans! And then we can be twins! (Except please don’t put my name on your tag, because that would be creepy.)
Want to win them? First go read the contest rules and regulations, then come back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and general awesomeness. (Because you’re totally awesome. Yes, you.)
Ready? Go!
Winning this would check one item off my life list.
Custom fit jeans, hmmm.
Jeans for me…please?
Please, please, please!
Oh, jeans to fit all my shortness!
Who knew such a thing existed? Cool!
Me! I can never find jeans that fit!
Since I’m 10 weeks preg, this would make a great gift for my sister. Or if they would let me wait a year, boy it would be great gift post baby!
Oooohhh…I like this contest! Long legs + short waist + not 22 years old anymore = never a decent fitting pair of jeans in my drawers.
Amazing idea!
Ready for a apir of jeans that ctaully fit? Oh yes. I am Ready. Count me in, please!
Pick me,please! Need a perfect jeans after 4 kids.
Pick me please!
Interesting idea. I am willing to give it a try if I win.
Wow! How awesome!
I’d love to give them a try.
I would LOVE these!
I have never had a pair of jeans that REALLY fit. This would be wonderful!
Oh please please please! I can’t imagine what a perfect fit would be like! Help make my dream come true!
I did not know such a thing even existed. Sounds lovely!
I never knew that the thought of perfect fitting jeans would make me smile so big while sitting here at my desk! I need a cookie to celebrate!
I really could use a new pair of jeans!
May the goddess of jeans-that-fit smile on me!
Oh, oh, oh! Pick me, pick me!
I’m a bit of a doubting Thomas, but I’d love to give it a try.
Oh, I would SO greatly appreciate skipping the annual humiliation that takes place in dressing rooms all across the metro area as I try to find *something* that will go over my hips but not gap 4″ away from my back…
Wow, this seems too good to be true. Thanks for an awesome contest!
What a great idea!
I suffer from Kyallee’s dilemma as well. I’d LOVE some custom-fitted jeans!
Oh me me me
Ooh, boy this is a good one!
This would be awesome! I too suffer from the large hips, small waist dilemma.

Yes, I need these!
Count me in! Thanks.
Awesome stuff! Thanks! Jessica
How awesome, I would LOVE to win!!! Thank you.
OMG, I haven’t wanted to win anything this badly in a long time! I’m a plus sized woman (and am working on losing it, but it’s a long, rough battle!) and I’m also 5′ tall, which makes it a NIGHTMARE to find jeans that fit! And I LIVE in jeans! All of my jeans drag on the floor and get worn in the back. I so hope I win!
Wow! I HATE buying jeans and this is a dream come true!
Short and wide. Or I could be really nice and let my younger daughter have them.
I would love to win!
wow, this would be awesome!
Oh wow…I can’t remember the last time I found a pair of jeans that actually fit well. It was definitely pre-baby! Any chance you’ll post a pic of yours? I bet I’m not the only one who’d like to see them!
Just got back from vacation and saw the pictures. AUGH! I would love to have a pair of jeans that fit and make me feel a little better about myself!
I’ll play
sounds too good to be true….but I’d love to find out. thanks!Michele
please, let it be me this time….it would make my year.
Oh, how fab this would be! Now I could have awesome dark wash, boot cut fab jeans for my dress down Fridays!
Custom fit jeans?? Oh yeah baby…
Jeans-shopping tends to make me curl up whimpering in fetal position, so this sounds promising.
Oh, wow! My old jeans don’t fit. Pick me please!
This would be great!!!!!
Jeans? Couldn’t think of a better giveaway!!
Oh please please please please pick me!
I’ve never owned anything custom made!
How fun! Post-baby body could use these.
I would love a pair of new jeans! It would be swell if I won.
Toni
Boy – it’s intriguing! Please pick me.
My big butt could use this for sure. I live in jeans.
What a great contest! Me, please?
who wouldn’t want the perfect pair of jeans?!
jeans that really fit? is there such a thing?
I can’t tell you how much I need this!!
oh, man, these would be awesome
I live in my jeans, and to have a pair that actually fits me great would be… well, GREAT!
Fingers crossed!
I can’t remember when I had a pair of jeans that really fit . .. I think I was 10. Please pick me!!
Wow! This is the most fabulous giveaway ever!
Sounds awesome!
Wow — yes, please!
Yes!
I just had a baby and now I weigh less than my pre-pregnancy weight (I hate me too). I need to go shopping for new jeans but with a newborn I have no time.
Pick me!
Custom jeans! Sign me up please!
I would love a pair of custom fit jeans!!
I’d look great in a pair of custom jeans…who wouldn’t!?
Oh yes please! They do plus sizes which is amazing!
Oh, this would be fun. Even if I don’t win, I might have to just try a pair in about 6 months…when I lose a few more pounds. :p
!!!
You mean they won’t be too tight in the butt and big in the waist? Perfect! Sign me up.
I need new jeans too!
Yesterday, my husband thanked me for some small thoughtful deed, and I said, “yes, I did it because I’m awesome.” “And so humble, too,” he snarked back. So just for that, I think my recently-insulted awesomeness deserves some new jeans… even if it won’t be cool enough to wear them until Thanksgiving.
count me in, please!
I would LOVE a pair of jeans that actually fit my body type.
I NEED them. I have no jeans that fit correctly right now. I need need NEED them. I even had a dream about custom jeans too.
After Baby #3, I HATE putting on my pre-1st pregnancy jeans! NEED CUSTOM FIT THIMBLERS NOW!!
I so need a new pair of jeans. This would be great!
oooh! That sounds awesome! I’d love to win but I think this may be going on my christmas list as well- yay!
meeeeee
Cute jeans that fit and are actually long enough? Yes, please!
My favorite pair of jeans just bit the dust last month. Perfect timing!
Wow. Nothing says Goddess of Everything *Ever* like handing out a pair of custom-made jeans!
Thanks, Mir!
Junk in the trunk+ smallish waist= I NEED JEANS that FIT and WON’T require constant hikeing up and/or seeing my undies. Thanks!!
No more MOM JEANS great…count me in!
I can’t think of anything better than custom made jeans!
I’d love a pair of jeans that are long enough, but not too long. There is such a fine line there.
Oh my god, jeans that actually fit? That sounds amazing. In order to get jeans to fit my hips and rear, I have to buy these barrel shaped things that literally give me an eight inch gap at the back. Ugh! I would love to have pants I don’t have to look fat in because I’m curvy.
Sounds like a plan to me!
wow–what a great contest! I’d love to win custom fit jeans!
I’d love to have a pair!
Thanks for the chance, I’d love to have some jeans that fit well!
Oh, please.
my postpartum butt needs some new jeans!

Ooohhhhh!
How cool. I would love these.
I’ve recently reshaped a bit and my old jeans are pretty ragged. Would love to win a pair without feeling guilty!
Very very cool!
Seriously?? You can buy jeans that are made for you?!?!?! What a wonderful world we live in! Count me in!
What a fabulous contest!
OOOOH! Pick me!
i’d love me some new jeans made just for me!
custom fit jeans? sounds like a dream come true!!
Jeans! Woo-hoo!
Wonderful! Definitely what I need.
I’d love a new pair of jeans!!
Oh, this would be an awesome prize to win!
Looks like there are lots of us who are still looking for the perfect fit. But if I win, will it spoil me for life? Will I ever be able to think of buying a pair at Wallie-World ever again?
This sounds awesome.
Pretty pretty please! I’ve got a 4 mth old and a 2 year old and everything gives me a muffin top now- not that the little buggers aren’t worth it, but still! This might be the answer!
Oh my gosh yes PLEEEASE my broke, textbook-buying, college attending, working full time and SINGLE self wants this one! The perfect pair of jeans might help with the single part, ya know!
There is nothing that kills my mood as much as trying on jeans.
Oh, I want this SO Bad!
I love your rules page. Nicely written.
oh, and I’d love some new jeans!
Love the ‘prechewed’! And would love a pair of these jeans!
It’s hard to believe that I could find a pair of jeans that actually fit. After all, I’ve only tried on hundreds of pairs – and not one fit right! I’d love to give them a try.
meeeee puhleeze!
Mee please!! Those sounds fabulous!
PLEASE PICK ME!!
i LOVE jeans!!
Jeans that don’t gap at the waist and that fit the junk in the trunk would be GREAT!! Pick me please!!

Oh, me and my ittybittysquattybody would thank you!
yes please!!! how awesome.
My butt would thank you
This is a great one!
me
Ooooh…. I would love some awesome new jeans!
I can’t tell you how much I need these, I am 32 weeks pregnant and have no idea what the heck my body is going to look like post-twins!
Jeans custom made for my fat butt and short legs that don’t gape at the back waistband? PuhShaw! Prove it!
Custom jeans? Wow.
Oohhh so cool! Love the custom tailoring!
Big butt, small(er) waist proportions are a bear to fit! Add to that my “womanly” size, and it’s almost impossible. I’m all for it!
I would love these! Plus size with skinny legs and short is a hard combination to fit!
I’ve said a million times I wish I could just tell a company exactly what I’m looking for and get the perfect jeans…now I can!
i’d love a pair.
That sounds so fun!
Jeans! Thanks
OOOOOOHH!!! OOOOOHHH! Please pick me!!!
WOW.. GREAT contest!
I’ve always wanted to try custom jeans.
It would be AWESOME to have jeans that fit!!!

Wow! Now this is fashion I could be passionate about.

I don’t think I ever had a pair of jeans that really, truly fit me.

I have been jean shopping lately with no luck– this contest sounds great!
OHh, this sounds wonderful. I always have a hard timing finding anything that fits well. Thanks Mir!
after all this weight i’ve lost I’m pretty sure I would LOVE a new pair of jeans that FIT!
Ooh, pick me! Pick me!
Wonderful! I’d finally have a pair that had the correct waist AND length – instead of just one or the other!
This would make me way less sad over not having won the wisk.
Please enter me! I always have a hard time finding pants that fit properly.
I would like it!

Very cool contest! Thanks, Mir.
Thanks Mir!

Custom fit jeans would be awesome!
I once found the perfect jeans–great fit, style, comfort. Then, of course, the company stopped producing them.
I found an almost perfect pair at Good Will last weekend for only $7 and it made my day. A totally perfect pair for FREE would make my YEAR!
Can’t even imagine what it would be like to have custom made jeans!!!
jeans jeans!!!
Oh please, I so need some motivation to drop this baby weight….since the baby is walking and talking by now
This would be SO perfect for me! Not only am I on the border of plus and regular sizes, meaning my size is always sold out in both, but I am also tall which makes it impossible to find jeans that fit! Random number generator, don’t fail me, I need jeans so bad, we just moved to Colorado!!
Jeans that look good… What a concept. Fingers crossed!
This is a great contest, and a great company! Thanks.
Ooh, fancy jeans! That would be fun.

A custom pair of jeans would make “career transition” bearable?????
Yes please.
Custom fit, for ME!?!?!?!?
Man, this sounds awesome! And I have to confess, while $87 is more than I usually pay for jeans, it is much less that I would have thought custom-made would cost. I may have to go for it even if I don’t win…
wow, oh please let this be my lucky day
Pick me!
Please, please, please??? I would LOVE this.
It’s just starting to cool off here to the point where jeans are possible again. I’d love a new (custom!) pair!

Jeans that actually fit? I’m in!
Ooh, sounds nice

So, I could have jeans that fit my sizable butt and my not as sizable waist? Honestly if I don’t win $87 is not too much to spend so I can avoid the major “plumber crack” issues I always have with jeans…even non-low-rise ones.
Really – jeans that will fit my big thighs and smallish waist – really? please God – say its true and pick my number!
It has been many years since I have had a pair of jeans that fit well…
I’d love these!
Pick me!
Only thing that would be better than this would actually be *fitting* into Mir’s size 4! That’s not happening!
Oh, please!
Oh my goodness, I haven’t had jeans that fit since giving birth to twins! I would love to try this!
OMG very cool!!
Since I can’t fit into any of my jeans…this would be wonderful!!!
I’m pregnant now, but in two months I could really, really use this!
Sounds great!
This is my dream giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
Cool! All my jeans are a little too big here, a little too small there, a little off on the color…you get the idea.
Hope I win!
I can never find jeans that fit. Body By Baby + being short = painful shopping. Top it off with the fact that I’m in my early 20s. This would be lovely.
Maybe they can sew a size 2 tag in there while they’re at it to give me that extra confidence boost!
WOW – custom fit jeans!!! color me there!
This would be awesome!
My 40 year old bootie could use a custom boost. Thanks for the contest!
Oh just crossing my fingers silently here…
I’ll take them in long legs/flat butt, please!
Thanks!
That sounds so cool! Kinda like when my mom used to sew me clothes…only probably with a WAY better fit.

Oh, jeans that fit me. What a concept!
That sounds LOVELY.
I can has miracle jeans?
Will they make ‘em in “mom-jeans” style?

I was just thinking about how badly I need a new pair of jeans! Thank you Mir!
Wow, I can’t imagine a pair of jeans that fit perfectly! Count me in!!
Was just shopping tonight for jeans and of course I couldn’t find ANY, they never fit!! I’d love to win a pair!
Oh. My. Gosh. You’re a gift from God, Mir. A gift from God. *sniff*
Sounds interesting. Sign me up!
Any idea how hard it is to find jeans for legs attached to a 5’11″ body? Especially with child-birthin’ hips and a (used to be) small waist? You know what? Lemme win these, and Murphy and his little Law will then kick into high gear and my metabolism will suddenly wake up and join 2009 and I’ll drop the weight that’s been dogging me.
Sounds fun!
Sounds wonderful! Don’t think I’ve ever had a pair that “truly” fit perfectly!
Really, really want this!!! Please?
Please! Please!! Please!!!
Oh, me, please!!! I can never find jeans that really fit.
Okay, I need this. Can I get back to my pre-pregnancy weight first, though?
Baby, due in 2 weeks. Jeans that fit my butt after baby to make me feel sexy? Please pick me!!!
Custom jeans – wow! I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I wasn’t hiking up the back of my jeans and making sure my undies weren’t sticking out every 2 minutes. But I’d love to find out….
This would be great! Thanks Mir.
please please please
I would love these!!! Thanks for a fun giveaway!
I’d love to win!
That is too cool!
Cool contest, but a good price regardless!
So, um, do they make custom-fit maternity jeans that change shape as you do? ‘Cause if they do, I want them!

What an awesome prize. Nothing beats a pair of jeans that fits just right!
I desperately need new jeans. Crossing my fingers for a win!
Coolest prize ever.
This? Would be AWESOME!!
I could so use these for my almost 12 year old! Flat tummy, almost no hips, but muscular gymnast thighs: pretty much nothing fits.
Now that my kids are all in school I have to go back to work! It’s been 8 years and a custom pair of jeans sure would make me feel alot better! No more jammies all day! LOL
ooooooooooooooooooo so fitty!
GREAT! Would love these.
