Business concept
Someone needs to open a boutique that allows people to "test drive" different brands and styles of designer jeans. I'm thinking of a system where you could go in and put down a deposit to check out a pair of jeans for a couple of days. The jeans that you could check out should be pairs that have already been washed, so you could see how the fit and length changes after they've been through the laundry a couple of times. Test driving would also let you see how they stretch out after as you wear them. I feel like you really can't make a good choice about whether or not to drop a couple hundo on a pair of jeans until you know these things. Under this system, if you liked the jeans after testing them, you could just keep them. If they weren't what you were looking for, you could return them, get your deposit back, the shop could wash them with industrial strength cleaners, and they could go back in the sample pile.

Good idea. I always end up with some jeans that are dryer-friendly and others that cannot be dried or they become disgustingly tight.
would there be a requirement that you must wear clean underwear at all times while test-wearing the new jeans? i hope so.
Underwear?
this would have been the only reason I would have joined a sorority.
Incidently you know they will let you exchange washed jeans at Nordstrom now since the 7's and Citizens were so dang stetchy? At least they used to.
You can return a dirty air filter at Nordstroms, they'll take anything.
Why don't you just rent the pants. That way people won't be abusing the system by placing a deposit on clothes they never have to buy. I know if all I had to do was put up a refundable deposit I'd never buy clothes again. Just wear them and take them back when they get dirty and let someone else wash them. Better yet, don't rent them and tell me when you plan on opening. I'll be there with a weeks worth of deposits.
