Purchasing the perfect pair of denim pants can be a chore for just about any woman, yet Qcut is a pair of custom-sized jeans that hopes to change all of that. Essentially made up of 400 different sizes, it tailors its product to every order, something most companies cannot afford to do. This is because the custom-sized jeans are made after the order has been put through.
Made to fit 99% of the women out there, these custom-sized jeans may still boast a hefty price tag ranging between $170 to $200, yet they will fit better than designer denim that is the same quality and cost. Beasley does state, "These aren't bespoke jeans, and there are definitely going to be some women for whom Qcut jeans won't fit. But it'll be less than 1% of women, not the 99% of women who can't find jeans that fit right now."
