I love the Neems jeans company and their jeans, notwithstanding the somewhat quirky nature of their process and a couple of the idiosyncrasies of their jeans. I have given them a 5* rating here because 5* means different things at different times - and it doesn't and ought not to mean perfection. If you want probably the highest quality true custom jeans you can get, these are among that category. Why? First, Neems will do anything to make sure your jeans fit. If they don't, or if you have trouble using the smartphone measuring app, or if they just arrive not quite exactly the way you want them, they will remake them or recut them or adjust them no matter how much they've got to work at it. This includes multiple re-makes. In my case with my first pair, it took them 3 pairs to get them right... they didn't complain and they did the job. It will take a while if the fits not right the first time. They are not fast. Each cut can take anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks to get to you. But if you're not in a rush, and you want them to fit right, it's no big deal. I've never worked with a company with this right of dedication to customer satisfaction on fit except with places that charge $1,000 instead of $200. Second, the quality of the jeans is better than any other custom jeans company I've worked with. They have a decent amount of stretch but not so much that they don't feel authentic jeans. This means they will arrive stiffer than the current popular versions of 4-way stretch jeans. I like four-way stretch jeans, but if you want a pair of jeans that feel like Levi's but actually fit you perfectly, that Neems jeans - they've got that real blue jean feel but still with a little stretch to make sure they fit a little better. Third, they don't look like they're too tight. Some custom jeans that are cut properly to the correct size with a little stretch look too tight. Neems jeans don't look that way. They fit perfectly & show off your body to the extent you want them to, but they don't look you've been poured into them. I found that particularly with men, that's preferable. I mentioned their "quirky" process... I should highlight that, while Neems is definitely run by real people (particularly the two owners, Dani and Alex), most of the communications you'll receive by email from them are from AI Bots who sign their emails with people's names. I'm not a big fan of this, but if you ask them who they are and if their bots, they will tell you. So... while the company is owned and operated by real people, the communication interactions are primarily AI generated. You should know that in advance and decide you're comfortable with it before you do business with them.
