I used to play pool with Victor a bit, I never once beat him. My brother in law has one of the earlier pairs of Verses jeans and they are excellent. Awesome article.

Recently I had the opportunity to travel to NC via Raleigh to visit a shirt factory from one of America's first and most famous shirt makers. Anyone have a guess? This company is still producing a large portion of their shirts in the U.S. The visit was a little depressing actually. The Factory WAS the town, population 800 people. A shadow of the industry that use to flourish in those parts I guess... It blew my mind to see the amount of attention and detail goes in to each and every shirt from each and every employee. To me that is what luxury should be about. That is what you should be paying for, not just a label slapped on the garment. Hey Peeps!

Its all a lie. Beside, if people are willing to pay $10 for a drink at a bar that only cost $2 to make why not pay the money for a well made pair of jeans that will last for years??

I live in NC and enjoy supporting this family's business. In fact I actually went to sarah and victor's shop to get them and they showed me around. Trust me these jeans are truly hand made. Sarah and Victor use old Union Special sewing machines and personally stitch every pair themselves. The result is a fantastic finished product with incredible detail and personal touch. Yes, they are expensive but for me it was worth it, and I plan to continue to buy jeans from Raleigh Denim. If anything, this product illustrates the benifit of free trade. Now that all the cheap denim manufacturing has moved out of Carolina, a high end brand has found a new market niche. In the end, some people want cheap jeans from China, some like expensive and nice ones from NC. Either way people in China have good jobs, people in NC have good jobs and the customers for each are satisfied. I have a pair of these jeans and absolutly love them.

At the time I made my comment, I was really feeling the effects of our downtrodden economy. When i saw that the jeans were 285 bucks, I about flipped my lid. These are tough times, many folks are out of work, losing houses, losing homes, going hungry. This is happening to many of my friends. So with that in mind, (Although it is no excuss for foul language) I ask that you accept my sincere apology.
