Kathy’s Story: Jeans were not something I wore as I was growing up.  Even when I got married, I don’t even think I owned a pair. All that changed when I lost some weight and tried on a pair of Jolt jeans!  I felt younger and lightweight!  These jeans have followed me in helping at an animal shelter, tutoring a child, and volunteering in a hospital!  Everywhere I go, my Jolt jeans follow me as they fit me and my lifestyle perfectly!

Rose’s Story: My friends and I were all having a sleepover. I wore my favorite pair of jeans. I fell asleep first, so to pull a prank on me, they pulled my jeans out of my bag and wrote ALL over them. When I woke up in the morning, and went to put on my jeans, I started laughing when I found them. I signed them too. Now whenever I wear them, it reminds me of all the fun times with my besties!

Magaret’s Story: I love my jeans. Each and every pair. They remind me of long rides on the ranch as a child. Tree houses and caves, make believe and castles in the sky. Sun drenched days of wildflowers, rainbows and starring up into the sky at clouds for hours on end. Easier times, innocent days and great memories….

Amanda’s Story: My dad is a single dad who is both a mother and father to me. He received orders to Afghanistan as he was in the Army. He took me to the mall the night before he was to leave to buy me new clothes as when he was boarding the plane to Afghanistan, I would be boarding the plane to Biloxi MS, where I would stay for the year he was gone. I was scared to death to go so far away and he told me was just as afraid. He bought me some clothes and a pair of jeans I had always wanted. When we got home, he sewed a tiny red heart on the back pocket. The sewing was kind of lop-sided because he did it by hand. He told me that the heart was a symbol of how much he loved me and that it would bring us both good luck as well as reminding me that he was never that far away. I promised him I would wear them when he returned. The year at my grandparent’s was kind of hard, especially school. My grandparents were so great though and I started to settle in. My grandmother always washed my jeans by hand to keep the heart from coming apart. Finally, the day came and my dad returned home, safe and sound. I met him at the airport in my special jeans. My jeans traveled from NH to MS to the airport and they are still my favorite pairs of jeans.

Karin’s Story: I grew out of my favorite pair of jeans with embroidery on the flared bottom.  I put them away for 2 years and could not part with them even though they did not fit. Well, I just pulled out my winter clothes and there they were.  I decided to try them on, since I have been exercising regularly.  They fit!! I have my favorite jeans back.  So glad I saved them.

Stephanie’s Story: have a pair of black jeans that are my perfect fit, “I’m all that”, jeans. I wore them on my 25th birthday to the best birthday party that I ever had in my life. I also wore them whenever I went out with a guy who I wanted to get to know better because they made me feel my absolute best and fierce. After 2 kids I can no longer fit them and they are in a crate of my ‘If they could see then’ clothes. But, we’ll always have the memories!

Jennifer’s Story: I bought my favorite pair of jeans the day I met the President! I was managing a band at the time, and they were offered the opportunity to play at the White House.  I was so worried about what to  wear, I asked the coordinator at the White House what I should wear.  She said “President Bush is from Texas, so wear jeans and boots and you will be just fine.”  I bought a new pair and wore them to the White House!

Lori’s Story: I was at the local flea market and purchased a pair of Levis along with a couple of planters.  When I got home I decided to wash the pants prior to wearing them. I checked each pocket.  Inside the coin pocket was a $100 bill folded to a 1-inch size. I decided to go back and give the man and his son the money back. Long story short, he couldn’t believe someone would do that, took me out to lunch, and we are now engaged!  Great Memory.

Brenda’s Story: Nothing can make you feel old like the way you dress. I was beginning to admit to my age when, for my birthday, my daughter got me the cutest pair of jeans with all the embellishments.  I donned the jeans and put on an appropriate blouse and WHAM!  I was a new, younger, woman. I felt attractive and youthful. Whenever I’m feeling a bit down, on go the jeans.

Kara’s Story: I wore my Jolt Jeans when my boyfriend took me out shopping one evening. I was wearing them when he decided to stop at a local water fountain as the sunset, and even while the car crashed in the background! I was still wearing them at the end of that day- complimented by my engagement ring!

Gisela’s Story: First time I got my first pair of Jolt jeans was at a Nordstrom.  I browsed through the racks of clothing and then happened to noticed a dark blue pair of skinny jeans.  I tried them on and they fit like a glove.  I was hooked.  They were my first pair of skinny jeans.  Why?  Because all of the other brands that I had tried so far had not fit quite right.  These fit comfortably around the waist and thighs while still flattering my body.  I also loved the material that they made them out of, very light weight, thin, soft, yet stretchy at the same time. I knew these wouldn’t just be a fashion statement, but something that actually felt good as well.  Sometime you have to suffer for fashion, but wearing these didn’t make me feel like that.  Yah, I bought other skinny jeans by other brands since then, but Jolt was the first pair to get them right when they were first all the rage!
