The Perfect (Custom) Fit
By Tish Ong of www.wmn.ph
Combing the malls for the perfect pair of denims can be a real pain to the best of us.
At times, when you think you’ve found “the one,” either the store has run out of your size or the cut seems less flattering than you had imagined.
Here’s where Defacto Industry comes to the rescue.

Defacto Industry is a clothing shop that specializes in custom-fitted denims.
The store, located at the first floor of Mile Long Building in Makati, opened in May of this year, but the company has been offering its products and services since 2006 through V8 Indie Boutique.<
Behind Defacto Industry is the enterprising pair of Tats Paman and Tanya Blay, both young professionals in the field of advertising. The early beginnings of Defacto involved stumbling upon a Korean textile store that carried some of the best quality denim they’ve seen locally.
Now, when it comes to luck in finding the right pair of ready to wear jeans, these two are no different from the rest of us. But fortunately, Tats’s father is already in the tailoring business, and upon getting a supply of the denim, they had a couple of denim pairs made. Soon enough, people began asking about the unique pants they wore to work, and with some encouragement from their parents, the two began taking orders from friends and acquaintances.
They began researching pattern-making, pants styles, trends, and denim treatment, including tips that they soon generously gave out to their customers to help them get the unique faded effect from the raw denim they offered.
Tats and Tanya consider October 2006 as the month Defacto started, when the first order from a complete stranger came in. For this duo, what started out as a denim treasure hunt of sorts, became a full-fledged business that they have come to learn from and love. Family members are now also involved in running the store.
Getting Your Defacto Pair
It’s easy enough to get your hands on your very own Defacto custom-made jeans. Just visit the store and tell them what you have in mind for your unique pair.

Here you can choose from a wide variety of denim fabrics and details: from light, medium and dark blues of raw, stretch and patterned denims, to the brighter colored varieties and other fabrics, such as the khakis and grays of slacks and corduroys. There are thread colors for the visible stitches, variations on the pocket designs and emblems, and pant cuts that suit your style and body type, from skinny, slim, boot cut, straight, flared, or whatever it is you have in mind.
A quick visit to their site will already give you an idea of what to expect, and will help you decide on most of the details even before your visit. Upon nailing down these specs, they will then take your measurements. Most of the time, Tats and Tanya themselves are there to assist you.
Each pair of pants costs a minimum of P2,000. Prices can go higher depending on the intricacy of the details, but will be determined as soon as you’ve decided on the specifications. You can then expect your pair to be done within a week, and on your next visit for pickup, they will check the pair for fit.
Clothes Made to Your Liking
For the more creative fashionistas, Defacto Industry is also open to design collaborations with their clients-all the better in ensuring that your denims are truly unique. They’ve done denims in combination with other contrasting fabrics, with lots of zippers, and other style variations.

Aside from pants, the shop has jackets and mini skirts on display that you can have replicated in your size. They also make chic shorts, engineered jeans, and quirky jodhpurs. Even the stitched emblem usually seen on their pockets has variations you can choose from.
And the best part of having a good pair of denims? You can do what you want with them, wear them for years until they’re all faded and frayed at the hems, and they’d still be in fashion. So if you’re still waiting for those great denims to come your way, try dropping by their store. Who knows, you just might discover that perfect pair of jeans that fit right and reflect you.

“Why do you think you should have at least a pair of DEFACTO custom fit jeans?”
Ans: I should have a pair of DEFACTO custom fit jeans because I think it’s the only way I can have a perfect jeans for my not so perfect body. I can’t find jeans that really fits me, sometimes its too long, or too tight in my thigh, etc. If I have a pair at least it will compliment my body and will really unleash what figure I have.
Why do I think I should have at least a pair of DEFACTO custom fit jeans?
Because I know how it feels to spend hours in the mall searching for that right pair of jeans that perfectly fits me. And I never had that. My oldest current pair of jeans was like two years ago. Those that I bought more than that, they were either lose already or have lost their original color. And when I buy pants, I always have this vision that I can wear them for years to come but all of the jeans I bought failed me in this occasion so I hope that if I have these custom-made Defacto jeans, I won’t hope, I will know.
“Why do you think you should have at least a pair of DEFACTO custom fit jeans?”
it just fits me perfectly and comfortably…..
Particularly if you have those six pack abs the low rise jeans will show them off well. If you like jeans that fit a little looser, and a somewhat wider at the foot then a boot cut type of jean will do nicely for you.
I need this jeans, it will surely compliment my figure, there’s nothing beat the custom made clothing or jeans. Hope I can have 1. thanks!
the fit is so nice and the style are very unique, A perfect Birthday gift for my husband also…:-)
I can’t wait to have a pair of DEFACTO custom jeans.
because nothing beats a custom-tailored jeans! you can’t definitely go wrong wearing it because it fits you perfectly!
Defacto custom jeans are for me simply because great jeans should accentuate my assets and hide my liabilities. Everyone deserves a perfect pair of Defacto denim in their wardrobe. You simply owe it to yourself!

I really need a de facto custom fit jeans. Why? First, the jeans is tailored made just for me. I used to be so thin when I was single. And jeans that I bought from stores are not that flattering to me considering I’m too thin. Now that I gave birth, I gain some weight, making my old jeans not fit to me anymore. Now, I have no jeans to wear. If I will have a de fact custom fit jeans, that would be a great blessing because it will not only fit me, it will also adds up to my confidence because I know I’m wearing a great brand and that it really look good on me!
