The Perfect Jean-7 tips to Find the Perfect jeans for Your Figure

Are you tall? Are you petite?  Do you have long legs?  Do you have a large middle?  If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you probably have struggled to find the perfect pair of jeans.  In today’s world, every woman has the same struggle trying to find the exact characteristics in a jean that will best fit her body.  In this article, we will outline some of the more popular attributes that many women have and then give you our recommendations for the perfect jean. 

 

If you are Tall with Long Legs.  This describes a woman who is over 5’7” and has a longer lower body, meaning she is easily able to wrap her legs around something.  To suit your frame, you should go for jeans with at least a 36” inseam to accommodate your long torso.  Hudson’s “Supermodel Jean” is all the rage among, who else, Supermodels and tall women the same.  Other great brands are Rock & Republic and Habitual who offer a large variety of options for tall women who are leggy.

  

If you are slim with a Boyish Frame (No Hips).  This describes a woman who is narrow-waisted with no visible curves.  Kate Moss is a great example of this type of frame.  If you wish for jeans to fit your frame well, a straight leg or skinny jean would look great.  Aim to buy jeans without any stretch, as these types of jeans will only slide because you have little to no hips for the material to cling to. Rock & Republic and Rich & skinny are great brands while Brown Label’s “The Rebecca Straight Leg” is an ideal style for women who have this shape. 

 

If you are Petite.  The word petite covers two extremes of woman who are of a shorter stature.  Raven is a great brand for petite woman in general.    

                              *If you are Petite and Curvy.  This means you are 5’4” or under and have a full bust, smaller waist and thicker thighs.  You define a Coke-Bottle shape.   For you, a great jean needs to have a bit of stretch and should not have tiny back pockets.  This little detail will make your rear look bigger than it is.  Joe’s Jeans “The Honey” and Paper Denim & Cloth “The MOD” are fan favorites if you have this frame. 

 

                              *If you are petite and slim.  As before, this means that you are 5’4” or under, however you are a little more proportionally built with a smaller bust, small waist, and slimmer legs.  skinny jeans with high heels is a great combination for your frame.  The close-fitting jeans will give you volume while the heels give you height. Millard Fillmore “The Straight Leg” and Joe’s Jeans “The Provocateur” are our picks for this type of frame. 

 

 If you have Full Hips, Thighs, and a Small Waist.  If this is your frame, you have a Coke-Bottle shape as well.  Usually, when you purchase jeans that fit your hips and thighs, you have a gap at your waist.  Some of the best jeans for you would be trouser-cut, wide-leg, and sailor style in darker washes.  These would give your body a great streamlining effect.  Favorites for this curvier figure are Aristocrat’s “The Windsor Boot Cut” and GoldSign’s “The Orchard Wide Leg”.  Both perform double duty with angled waist bands and stretch denim. 

If you have a Larger Middle.  Many women, especially after having children, fall into this category.  This frame is characterized by having a larger stomach that many times will hang over the waist band of low-rise jeans.  The best jeans are those with a medium rise instead of a low rise and have extra stretch to accommodate your middle.  Jeans with decoration around the waistband should be avoided, as the decoration will draw unwanted attention to your middle.  Not Your daughter’s Jeans “The Tummy Tuck Jean” and Paige Premium Denim “The Rising Glen” are great options if you have this frame. 

If you are Tall and Curvy.  You are one of the rare women who have earned the title “Amazon”.  Serena Williams is a great example of this voluptuous shape.  You need to find jeans to accommodate your shape, which includes all of your curves and your height.  Go for a jean with at least a 36” inseam that are stretch and preferably wide-leg.  These three factors combined will give you an amazing and polished look.  Hudson, Citizen’s of Humanity, and Davis Kahn are brands that we highly recommend for women with this frame. 

 

If you have Fuller Thighs.  If you have this frame, it is highly likely you have to go a size or two larger in jeans to find the perfect jean that fits you best.   Dark denim boot-cut styles are a winner.  Also, try to find a jean with at least 2% stretch to accommodate your thighs.  Joe’s Jeans “The Honey Jean” is one of the best for this frame. 

 

No matter your shape or size, there is a perfect jean for you.  Use this as a guide to find the jeans that will hug your body in all the right places.  And remember, once you find the right jeans for you, shopping for them will no longer be a struggle.  Good Luck & Happy shopping!

Les Claypool

Biography

Early years

Claypool was born September 29, 1963 in Richmond, California, but was raised in El Sobrante, California in a working class family with a history of working as auto mechanics. His early education included Collins Elementary school and De Anza High school. Les’ parents divorced when he was a young child, but he says that he had a decent childhood, citing that he was never abused or severely bullied.

Claypool developed a bass guitar slap technique listening to other bassists such as Stanley Clarke and Larry Graham. He also bought his first Carl Thompson bass, his trademark four string bass. (Claypool stated in August of 2009, that he now owns 13 bass guitars, including a multi-wood fretless 6-string called the Rainbow Bass.)

In 1986, after the death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, Claypool auditioned to play bass for Metallica, playing the song “Master of Puppets” on his bass. In Metallica’s Behind the music, Claypool said that during the audition he jokingly asked the others if they wanted to “jam on some Isley Brothers tunes.” James Hetfield remarked that Claypool was not awarded the job because “he was too good”.

Primus

Main article: Primus (band)

Primus began as Primate with Les Claypool, guitarist Todd Huth and various drummers, most notably Jay Lane, in the mid-1980s, though Huth and Lane left shortly thereafter to pursue other projects. Claypool replaced them with guitarist Larry LaLonde and eclectic drummer Tim Alexander in 1989 (Tim “Herb” Alexander left the band in 1996 and was replaced by Brian “brain” Mantia). Primus began selling out local clubs with their out-of-control live act and irreverent approach to music (their catchphrase was “Primus sucks!”). This was later to be changed.

From 1989 to 2000, Primus steadily became one of the most bizarre bands to gain significant mainstream airplay, headlining Lollapalooza in 1993, appearing on Late show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 1995, and even making an appearance at Woodstock ’94 where they performed their Pork Soda hit “My Name Is Mud” and were pelted with mud (Claypool claims to still have mud in his speakers). Also, in 1997, they were asked to play, and record, the theme song for the animated television show South Park. Claypool and Tom Waits have recorded on each other’s records since 1991 and have continued to do so. In 1999 he let Activision use the song “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver” on the hit video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.

In 2000 Primus went on indefinite hiatus.

In mid 2003 Claypool reunited with former Primus drummer Tim Alexander and guitarist Larry LaLonde to record a dvd/EP called Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People, which Claypool described as the first dvd with supplementary music, as opposed to the contrary. In October of that year, the band staged a two month tour in which they performed two sets per show, the second consisting of their 1991 release sailing the Seas of Cheese in its entirety. They continued touring into 2004, even performing their 1990 release Frizzle Fry in its entirety.

In Mid-August 2006, a DVD release entitled Blame It on the fish was added to the listings of Amazon and other online shops. Shortly thereafter, the website The PRP reported that a rumor had surfaced implying that the band was quietly planning a North American tour for November/December 2006.

On October 17, 2006, Primus released both their first greatest hits CD They Can’t All Be Zingers and their third DVD Blame It on The fish, subtitled An Abstract Look at the 2003 Primus Tour De Fromage.

They Can’t All Be Zingers includes sixteen digitally remastered songs that span their entire career, including a previously unreleased and extended version of “Shake Hands with Beef,” the Tom Waits collaboration “Coattails of a Deadman,” and “Mary the Ice Cube” from the 2003 DVD and EP Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People.

Claypool has let the video game guitar Hero 2 use the Primus song, “John the Fisherman,” one of two songs in the game using the actual recording instead of a cover.

Blame It on the Fish: An Abstract Look at the 2003 Primus Tour De Fromage contains live footage from the band’s 2003 reunion tour, interview segments and behind the scenes footage. The DVD includes a 70 minute feature film and 90 minutes of bonus material, including a 30 minute mockumentary about the band in 2065. Blame It on the Fish is directed by Matthew J. Powers, who directed Never Been Done, a documentary about Jon Comer.

Primus: The Beat A Dead horse Tour 2006 began in November 2006 and was completed the following December.

In 2008 Primus played at a few festivals including; Rothbury (in Michigan), The Ottawa Blues Fest, Quebec City Summer Fest, and Outside Lands Festival (in San Francisco).

Les Claypool let the DC snowboard team use the Primus song “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver” in their 2007 movie “DC Mt. Lab 1.5″

Solo work

1994 – 2001

Sausage

In 1994, Claypool teamed up with guitarist Todd Huth and drummer Jay Lane to create an early Primus sound. Songs such as “Riddles are Abound Tonight” and “toyz 1988″ (now known as “Toys Go Winding Down”) gave way to a whole new breed of music.

Holy Mackerel

In 1996 Claypool produced, engineered and released a solo album, “Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel presents” Highball with the Devil. Claypool is credited with bass, drums and vocals on several tracks as well as guitar. Also on the album are Mark “Mirv” Haggard, Adam Gates, Jay Lane, Joe Gore, Charlie Hunter and Henry Rollins. The accompanying tour included Haggard and Gates on guitars with Bryan “brain” Mantia on drums. It was announced during the Holy Mackerel tour that Mantia had been chosen to become the next Primus drummer.

Oysterhead

Main article: Oysterhead

In April 2000, Claypool collaborated with Trey Anastasio (of Phish) and Stewart Copeland (of The Police) as Oysterhead. Claypool and Anastasio had been looking for an opportunity to collaborate. Each had a mutual interest in playing with Copeland who had been a rock idol of their teen years. Also, Claypool and Copeland had an established friendship. Oysterhead were originally intended as a one time performance during Jazz Fest in New Orleans. Though timid of the band’s sudden and surprising popularity they eventually decided to record and tour. They released one studio album, The Grand Pecking Order, and toured before disbanding in 2001. They re-united for two performances in 2006, one at 10K Lakes Festival and one at Bonnaroo Music Festival

The Frog Brigade

Main article: Colonel Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade

In May 2000 Claypool formed Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, an experimental rock group. Claypool was asked to put together a band for the Mountain Aire Festival in Angels camp, California. The band “of the most incredible guys (he) could possibly find” debuted that Memorial Day weekend and played a number of other festivals including moe.down. Originally he was going to call the band “Les Claypool’s Thunder Brigade.” Claypool states:

I originally was going to do the two drummer thing with Herb and Jack Irons, so I was gonna call it the Les Claypool Thunder Brigade. Michael Bailey from Bill Graham Presents said to me that it may sound a bit too heavy for the Mountain Aire crowd and to perhaps try something a little different that had to do with the event itself. Since it was home of the Calaveras County Frog Jump… hence the Frog Brigade and then it evolved into Colonel Les Claypool Fearless Flying Frog Brigade.

The Primus hiatus allowed him to return to his musical roots, playing songs by bands like Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and The Beatles. Claypool has called the Frog Brigade his “mid-life crisis band.” From a set of October shows recorded at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco Claypool released two Frog Brigade live albums, one being a cover of Pink Floyd’s Animals. The line-up included Todd Huth, Eenor, Jeff Chimenti, Jay Lane, Skerik and Claypool.

The Frog Brigade is also noted for Claypool’s being accepted into the jam band scene. Live Frogs Set 1 won “Best Live Album” at the second annual Jammys. Jay Lane and Jeff Chimenti are both members of Bob Weir’s band Ratdog. Claypool performed with “The Rat Brigade” when opening for Ratdog once in 2000 and again in 2007. The Rat Brigade includes Claypool, drummer Lane and keyboardist Chimenti, with guest appearances by saxophonist Kenny Brooks and Bob Weir. Both years Claypool also guested on the Ratdog set.

2002 – 2005

In 2002 Claypool released a studio album of the Frog Brigade, Purple Onion. Musicians on multiple tracks for Purple Onion include Eenor, Mike Dillon, Skerik, Jay Lane, Ben Barnes and Sam Bass (Dillon and Skerik were both from Critters Buggin while Barnes and Sam Bass were from Deadweight). This album includes “Whamola” which later appeared as a remix for the theme of South Park Season 10.

C2B3

Main article: Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains

Also in 2002 Claypool collaborated with virtuoso guitarist Buckethead, Parliament-Funkadelic/Talking Heads keyboardist Bernie Worrell, and former Primus drummer Bryan Mantia under the name Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains (“C2B3″ which is to be said “C Squared, B Cubed”). Their concerts pushed the improvisational envelope by preparing no material and not rehearsing beforehand. At one of their shows they prepared sandwiches onstage for the audience to eat.

C2B3 re-united in 2004 to record The Big Eyeball in the Sky, an album with equal parts instrumental and vocal songs. The band began an 18-state tour of the US on September 24, 2004. The album features only one guest, the child-like multi-instrumentalist Gabby La La (noted as Gabby Lang on Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade’s Purple Onion) on vocals and sitar. She also opened on every show (sometimes to scathingly negative reviews) during the 2004 tour as a solo act with sometimes members of C2B3.

Claypool also produced and performed on Gabby La La’s first album, Be Careful What You Wish For…. Gabby La La is the first artist Les has signed to his label since Charlie Hunter in 1993. He has performed select shows with her (including the 2005 Bonnaroo Music Festival) and added her to his then new touring band, Les Claypool & His Fancy Band. The 2005 Fancy Band line-up also included Skerik, Dillon and Lane.

At the end of 2005, Claypool released 5 Gallons Of Diesel, a video retrospective of all of his work away from Primus.

2006

Electric Apricot

Main article: Electric Apricot: Quest For Festeroo

Claypool’s first attempt at a feature length film, Electric Apricot: Quest For Festeroo, was shown on various film festivals in the late spring of 2006. The movie is a spoof of the jam band scene centered on the fake band, Electric Apricot, in the mockumentary tradition of This Is Spinal Tap. The group performed low-key shows in the California area (most recently High Sierra Music Festival) for the filming of the movie. The members of the band are characterized as Steve Hampton Trouzdale (Adam Gates) on bass and vocals, Steve “Gordo” Gordon (Brian Kehoe) on guitar and vocals, Herschal Tambor Brillstien (Jonathan Korty) on keyboards and vocals, and of course Lapland “Lapdog” Miclovik (Les Claypool) on drums and vocals. The film debuted on March 15. During a question and answer session at the Tiburon Film Festival where the film debuted Claypool said that the yet unreleased DVD would have an accompanying soundtrack CD. The film has won other awards as well including Best Feature (audience choice) at the Malibu Film Festival. Claypool also said that the band would possibly perform a few select shows, but a tour is unlikely as Adam Gates has a job at Pixar which makes touring difficult. Other cameos in the film include Arj Barker, Dian Bachar, Matt Stone and Sam Maccarone.

Of Whales and Woe and the Fancy Band

Main articles: Of Whales and Woe and Les Claypool’s Fancy Band

On May 30, 2006 Claypool released a solo album, Of Whales and Woe, with guest appearances by Skerik, Mike Dillon and Gabby La La. This album includes the song “Robot Chicken,” which is the theme song of the popular Adult Swim show. His son Cage and his daughter Lena even make a special appearance on the song “Back Off Turkey.” The release was followed by a tour of the U.S. with the following lineup: Les Claypool – bass, vocals; Skerik – sax; Mike Dillon – vibraphone, percussion; Gabby La La – sitar, theremin; Paulo Baldi – drums. This lineup is called Les Claypool’s Fancy Band and did national tours in both 2006 and 2007. A live DVD, Fancy, recorded from the 2006 tour was released in 2007. The audio track includes a mix of both soundboard and taper recordings. A song from the album, “One Better”, was used in National Lampoon’s TV: The Movie in a fight scene between Preston Lacy and Lee Majors.

South of the Pumphouse

Main article: South of the Pumphouse

Claypool’s first book, South of the Pumphouse, was released on July 1, 2006 by Akashic Books. Copies of the book were sold during Claypool’s 2006 tour of U.S.A. following the release of Of Whales and Woe. The book is a dark, clever tale of brothers, murder, drugs, and fishing, and it has been likened to the work of Hunter S. Thompson. Claypool gave his first interview about the book to The Book Standard, on May 11, 2006. South of the Pumphouse is currently in its seventh printing.

2007 – present

Besides touring in the Summer of 2007 nationally with the Fancy Band, Claypool performed that October with a version of the band, dubbed the Fancy Trio. The trio consisted of Les, Skerik on saxophone, and Mike Dillon on drums, vibraphone and percussion. They played at The Echo Project, an inaugural ecologically minded 3-day festival in Fairburn, Georgia on The Boukeart family farm. The set was similar to that of The Fancy Band’s tours, culling from Les’ solo and Frog Brigade albums, as well containing a cover of “One Step Beyond” by Madness and teases of other songs, including several Primus tunes, throughout their improvisational jams.

For many years Claypool has done a New Year’s Eve show at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California. More recently the New Year’s Eve show has been an Annual New Year’s Eve Hatter’s Ball featuring a hat contest. December 31, 2007 was the 3rd such annual event.

In 2008 a United States tour spanned from February 29 to April 5. It kicked off at the Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte, North Carolina and ended at The Warfield in San Francisco, California. The 2008 tour was a quartet featuring Claypool, Dillon, Skerik and Baldi.

During the year Claypool also performed several shows with Primus at festivals across America and Canada.

Pig hunt is a film directed by James Isaac to be released in 2008. Claypool contributes previously unreleased material and plays the role of “The Preacher”.

Les composed several songs for the Wii game Mushroom Men, released in December 2008.

On December 31, 2008, Les rang in the New Year with his annual New Year’s Eve show. It was at the San Francisco Opera House with Zappa Plays Zappa sharing the bill and playing first.

Les was also a judge for the 7th annual Independent Music Awards. His contributions helped assist upcoming independent artists’ careers.

Ottawa Bluesfest, 2009

Les’ second solo album, Of Fungi and Foe, was released on March 17, 2009. The album consists of expanded material of the music from the Mushroom Men game, as well as the Pig hunt motion picture, and features a guest appearance by Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz.

As of June 2009, Les is touring with Matisyahu, performing as a ‘double-feature’ set, as well as appearing together on stage.

Personal life

He lives near the village of Occidental in Sonoma County, California with his wife, Chaney Claypool, his son, Cage Oliver Claypool, and his daughter Lena Tallulah Claypool. His home is called “Rancho Relaxo”, after a Simpsons episode where Marge gets sent to a spa of the same name. He records most of his music at his home. He is famous for his wacky sense of humor and overall very eccentric personality. He has recently been very open about his liberal political views and his dissatisfaction with former president George W. Bush.

Claypool is an avid fly fisher, and even appeared as a special guest on a 2004 taping of Fly fishing the World filmed in Idaho and a 2005 taping in Quebec, Canada. Both episodes are available on the extras section of 5 Gallons Of Diesel.

Choosing customized jeans – how not to buy a fake

When buying a pair of custom jeans there is always a chance you’ll buy jeans of low quality – fake jeans in other words. today we will tell you how to minimize the risk of wasting your money on a pair of jeans which will fade and lose their shape after the first wash. Sometimes they recommend checking out the producing country – but that doesn’t make much sense actually because European and American companies labels can be fake too. So rely on other jeans characteristics in the process of choosing.

By the way, what are the most frequently counterfeited jeans? These are Lee, Wrangler and Levi’s jeans so if you are planning to buy one of these companies’ models you should examine it very thoroughly. The first characteristic you should look at is the price – a pair of really good quality jeans cannot be cheaper than 150 dollars.

Then examine the jeans fabric to the touch. Even thin fabric which Turkish or Chinese jeans are made of can feel like real denim after starching – but still the weight of such jeans will be less than the one of truly quality jeans (that’s about 850 g).

Check out the seams – they should be double and overlock . If the seams are of low quality your new jeans will tear at the seams very soon.

Make sure the jeans furniture has brand logotypes too – that refers to buttons, zippers etc. If there are no brand labels these jeans are most probably a fake. So if you have decided to purchase a pair of really high-quality customized jeans, be extremely careful and attentive to all the details. Then you can be sure you aren’t going to give your money for nothing.

Both men and women wear customized jeans nowadays. There are many styles of women’s jeans (classic, glamour, country etc) and there are also several styles of men’s jeans. Let’s have a closer look at them now.

The baggy style is typical for American rappers. These jeans are very wide, slightly low-waist, sometimes a couple of sizes bigger than necessary. Some of rappers’ jeans can be decorated with lots of pockets, prints etc.

The country style used to be popular with hippies in 1970s. The country-style jeans are bell-bottom and usually light blue.

The easy style presupposes straight jeans of loose cut which sometimes cannot be called good-looking but are always very comfortable.

The carpenter style jeans have lots of pockets for putting work instruments into them. In daily life these jeans are very good when you go for a walk with your children and have much stuff to take with you – all your stuff can be easily put into numerous pockets.

The loose style offers wide jeans which are even wider at their bottom, besides these jeans are extremely long. These jeans are popular with teenagers.

The slim style jeans are tight-bottom and are usually made of elastic denim. They look really hot but many men avoid wearing such jeans because there is a stereotype that these jeans are only worn by gays.

And finally goes the regular (old) style – these are classic straight-cut jeans with 5 pockets. They are quite tight-fitting but look very imposing and make you look slimmer.

Here are the main men’s customs jeans style – now you only have to choose the style that suites your temperament, character, age and social position, or may be just your morning mood.
