Julie: Where are your Plus Sizes?!

I just received a comment from one of our readers who was having trouble with finding a pair of jeans in her size on our site.

"Hey Julie:
I guess us chunky gals don’t quite cut it on your computing. I can wear Lane Bryant jeans, but your calculations didn’t come up with even one suggestion for me? whats with that? please get in touch with me - if you are truly interested in fitting everyone in custom jeans! thx! - Anita"

Dear Anita,
We regret to hear that you were disappointed by your visit to truejeans.com. We completely understand your frustration! We, too, have been frustrated by how few plus size premium denim brands there are. We do realize that we currently have some limitations in the selection of jeans that are featured and profiled on our site. Luckily, we have two plus size brands that will be featured on the site this week, ranging in sizes from 14-26.

In order to predict fit and size accurately, we have to do extensive testing, so creating a deep product mix takes some time, and since we study the brands so closely we only give predictions for the brands that we carry. Many jeans brands cater only to “certain” body types.

Unfortunately, there are many body types which are underserved by the apparel industry in general. It is our goal to represent and serve a wide variety a body types on our site, therefore we appreciate your help, feedback, and ideas! Please accept our deepest apologies and we thank you for your patience as we strive to make the jeans buying process effortless for you. I would encourage you to re-visit truejeans this week.

Best,
Julie

Such a bummer.

I love the idea of your site, and I have been trying to be patient as I wait for you to include Plus Sizes. So when I read my email saying that you now have them, I raced over to your site . . . only to find there are no recommendations for my measurements.

I just wanted to comment that I hope that you keep working on this.
