My search for jeans continues

I have been searching the world for the perfect pair of non-brandi jeans.  I am a bit disheartened to learn that it will be difficult not to spend upwards of $200 to get a pair of jeans mainstream brand free.  I have found some interesting things though.  I never thought of using pennies as buttons like these from Hartford Denim Company

How cool are those?

I also discovered a place called indiDenim that allows you to custom design your own jeans according to your own measurements.  They even ask you questions about how jeans usually fit, such as if they are too tight at the waist or if they gap.  You choose weight of fabric, color, stitching, even decorative details.  I think that it sounds pretty cool, but I am still skeptical.  The hunt for the perfect pair of jeans has everything to do with how they make my butt look.  I am afraid to buy a pair of jeans without this knowledge.  Even if they have all my stats, will they do my butt justice?  

The search continues...
