Whether you’re a Mac or a PC, you most likely have an iPhone or iPod Touch. Apple wins when it comes to hand-held devices, but can your jeans handle your gadget?

An up-and-coming trend is specifically designed iPhone and iPod Touch pockets on the front of the jeans. The micro-fiber interior protects your iPhone or iPod touch and also cleans it when the device is removed from the pocket. Aesthetically I’m not sold because front pockets that look like back pockets just make me think you’re wearing your jeans backwards, but I will withhold an informed opinion until I see these jeans with iPhone/iPod Touch pockets up close and personal.
Would you wear jeans that had a special pocket for your iPhone or iPod? Is it really necessary or something that should have happened a long time ago? Vote in the poll below!
There’s arguably nothing more fashionable right now than going green. Hollywood is doing it, Washington D.C. is doing it, even that guy down the street is doing it. It’s really the cool thing to do and good for the environment (love when that happens).
Not surprisingly, denim is jumping on the “Go Green” bandwagon. With the Sony Recycle Project Jeans initiative, Sony is taking a colorful spin on going green. Taking recently discarded cloth banners that were hanging off the sides of corporate offices, Sony is turning these banners into jeans like you’ve never seen before. Almost like a prank after this transformation, Sony prominently displays the apparel in their original location along the sides of the building where the banners were found.
And no, these jeans are not just art for art’s sake. Look through a pair of binoculars and if you like what you see, terrific. A friendly sales associate will swing down the side of the building to retrieve that special pair for you.
Just another day…

The earthquake that struck Haiti almost 2 weeks ago has devastated the world. Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas of the country have been demolished and the government believes that the death toll could rise to 300,000 people.
Here at indiDenim, we’ve taken the time to think about this humanitarian crisis and how jeans can help. That’s why we’re proud to support the organization Fashion Delivers, which aims to bring together fashion industries to donate apparel to victims in need across the world. They were founded in 2006 and inspired to act after Hurricane Katrina struck.
Right now, Fashion Delivers is organizing efforts to send apparel and products to Haitians who have been affected by the earthquake and have lost everything. To help, they are calling for a broad assortment of clothing items—jeans included.
If you too would like to support Fashion Delivers and the people of Haiti, please visit their website and fill out the donation form listed at the bottom or the page. Haiti needs our help today and many days to come.

Well thank goodness American Idol is back in our lives. It’s hard to believe that we’re already in season 9. Really makes you wonder how you spent your Wednesday nights 10 years ago…
So, in case you hadn’t noticed, this season, some of our favorites are back in the judges’ seats, including Simon Cowell and “what-up dawg” Randy Jackson. Ellen DeGeneres will also make her A.I. debut and replace crazy Paula (looove Ellen).
But who are we most excited to return to host a fun filled season of high pitched voices, scratchy harmonies, and strange hairdos? Why Ryan Seacrest of course.
Lately, we’ve been particularly fascinated with Mr. Seacrest, mostly because even without American Idol on TV, he still manages to be everywhere—radio gigs, producer credits, entertainment TV shows…absolutely everywhere.
But let’s be honest. The real reason why we love Ryan so much and aren’t annoyed by how annoying he is because Ryan is truly a jeans addict—a jeans enthusiast, if you will. Almost always caught wearing a pair of casual jeans, Ryan is a big fan of his medium blue wash denim and faded jeans.
The best part about our love for Ryan is that his denim style is so easy to pull off.
With the faded look as inspiration, you can customize your very own pair of Ryan jeans with brushed faded marks at the thigh and knees. Pair with a fitted graphic tee and you are set for television, radio, paparazzi, and everything else Ryan manages to get himself into these days.

The impossible has happened, people. Our love for denim has just doubled. I know what you’re thinking. How could one possibly love jeans any more? Easily, apparently.
We recently came across an article from Discover Magazine about how jeans can actually protect you from a rattlesnake bites. Yes, you read that right.
This:
Can save you from this:
Doctors Shelton S. Herbert and William K. Hayes reveal that if you get bitten by one of those things and you’re wearing denim, you’ll absorb about two-thirds less venom than if you’re wearing some other inferior material. In their research, which is published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, they report that in their experiment, venom “spilled harmlessly” onto the denim, as opposed to seeping into your skin…
Conclusion? Jeans are not only a fashion must-have, but when you’re trudging through the dessert under the blazing, hot sun trying to find the next strip mall, they will also save you if confronted with one of America’s most terrifying creatures.
Now just imagine if your newest lifesaver was customized. A weapon of defense and fit perfectly just for your body? Sign. Me. Up.

The holidays are finally over, but we all know that the hardest part of a vacation is returning to the office after a fun-filled (and hopefully relaxing) break.
So to help cure your post-holiday despair, we’ve decided to bring you some happy, uplifting (and, of course, denim-inspired) words to think about as you sip your coffee and weed through the stack of papers that mysteriously got placed on your desk while you were away last week.
So take a deep breath in and just meditate for a second on…Meryl Streep.
Yes, to kick of the new year with a bang, we’re giving snaps to Ms. Meryl herself—the timeless actress and fashion icon, who has proved in her latest film, “It’s Complicated” that even at 60, she can still take on a leading romantic role, and look fabulous while doing so.
At indi, we love Meryl not just because she is arguably one of the greatest living film actresses, but because even at 60, this girl still rocks the denim like it ain’t no thang.
That’s why we applaud Meryl because, as to be expected, even when it comes to fashion, she pushes the envelope and defies any stereotype out there, including the one that says jeans are only for the 50 and under club.
As the Queen of Hollywood who shows us all that age is a feeling, not a number, we say to Meryl, “You go girl. Who says 60 can’t do denim?”

Mr. Efron told US Weekly recently that he wore the same pair of jeans for eight weeks in a row in order to get them just the way he wanted. The magazine wrote that, “In order to get that dirty, distressed denim look, the actor wore the same jeans—now his faves—for eight continuous weeks until they were stripped of stiffness and sported ‘yellow whiskers’ at the front.”
I mean, can you blame the heart throb? He does lead a hard life. Even millions of dollars, the ongoing success of High School Musical, and that great run-your-fingers-through hair can’t even buy this guy instant jean satisfaction. After all, you can only get that great rugged, worn-in look with time, effort, and fashion dedication. It’s the denim look any dude strives for months to achieve, the look that…oh wait, you can customize yourself right here at indiDenim.
Geez, Zac. Get with it. You just spent way too much time in those pants. These days, all the cool kids customize their own distressed denim. We could have delivered your dream jeans to your front door in just a few weeks.
World, meet Kyla. She’s a small town fashionista on a mission for a fabulous wardrobe on a low budget. She’s fully equipped with a sense of style and a blog—and not afraid to use either. We met Kyla last month through our sponsorship of the Weardrobe Conference in NYC and quickly discovered that Kyla, like so many other women, was a “custom jean skeptic.”
Giving into her skepticism (as every fashion blogger should), Kyla went ahead and, through our website, put together a pair of high-waisted dark wash flare jeans—a style she admits has always been difficult to find on the rack. Kyla blogged about how easy it was to customize her jeans and satisfy her every denim want and need, and even shared a bit more about the experience with us, personally:
“I absolutely LOVED the experience of designing my own jeans! I have a really hard time finding jeans that fit and when I do find jeans that fit, the styles aren’t always very exciting. I really wanted a pair of jeans with a specific style that would stand out as more than just a pair of casual denim blues. I chose a high waist and flare leg, since that seems to be the most challenging style for me to find.”
She then went on to say:
“I was skeptical at first, wondering how in the world these jeans were going to fit based on nothing but answers to a few questions, but I was blown away when I received them. I pulled them on and was shocked that they really did fit like a glove. Next time, I don’t think I would do much differently. I’m in love with the style and I think I will just get them in a different denim and wash.”
Kyla, we’re so happy you’re happy with your indiDenim jeans. You look terrific! We know you were pleasantly surprised that your new pair “fit like a glove,” but that’s just what we do.
One custom denim skeptic down, just a few more to go…
