Meet The Maker Video

Miles — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:43:32 +0000

A couple of weeks ago our good friend Victor of Raleigh Denim drove a few hours north to see us here in Richmond and introduce the women’s line of RD. The women’s line continues with the same mission and integrity of Raleigh Denim. Jeans made by hand, sewn with traditional machines, made with local White Oak Cone denim and individually hand signed. We greeted him with friends, sweet tea and BBQ from Alamo in Church Hill. Here’s a little video from the night. Thanks especially to Victor and all our friends that came out.

If you didn’t make it out to our Raleigh Denim party last night, you missed some great jeans, great food, great music and of course great company! The BBQ was flowing, the live music was pumping, and Victor introduced us to the new women’s line from Raleigh (Look for it in store soon!). Luckily our friend Cameron Lewis was there to snap some photos of the event- click to check them out!

Raleigh Denim by Josh Rosenbaum

They’re a brand that we and hundreds of others have fallen in love with. Denim that is produced in the USA and made in the USA, by hand, one pair at a time. You can tell the difference when you put them on and when you’re not ready to take them off. Each pair is inspected by the founders of the company and signed off. If you’re not familiar with Raleigh Denim, check out this great video made by Josh Rosenbaum. It just might make you a believer.

Coming Soon: Rogue Territory Stantons

Miles — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 18:37:30 +0000

With summer heading into fall, it’s either time to put your current pair of jeans in the freezer, dry clean them, or give them a brief break – let some of that sweat dry out. While you’re waiting, it’s the perfect time to start looking around for your next pair of jeans that the colder months will consume and leave their mark on. We’re pretty excited to be getting in the newest version of Rogue Territory’s new Stanton cut, a nearly 15oz pair of Nihon Menpu sourced Japanese denim that has already left a strong mark on the denim community. Original Analog sat down with Karl Thoennessen, the man behind Rogue Territory to get a behind the scenes look at the new Stantons that arrive soon.

Read the interview here. The Stanton cut arrives at Need Supply this fall.

Raleigh Denim Jones Canvas – 4 Months

Miles — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 03:45:47 +0000

I had always wanted a good pair of canvas pants. They seem like the best thing ever when fall heads into winter. Most of the ones that I had seen or tried were mean for the job site, with all good reason. The fit was roomier and simply not what I was looking for. Then we got in a small run from Raleigh Denim of their Jones Indigo Raw Canvas pant, a dark dyed canvas with a slim/straight fit. Was it too good to be true?

It was official, I had found the perfect pair of pants. The fit, beyond perfect. Just by snapping in the last button I knew the fit was exactly what I was looking for. Not too slim (that just wouldn’t work for canvas) but not to baggy. Straight leg, mid rise. Couldn’t ask for more. Oh, and the dark, indigo dye, wowzas.

Like everything from Raleigh Denim, they are handcrafted and sourced in North Carolina. Selvage indigo-dyed canvas from Cone Mills White Oak Plant, each pair is hand signed and individually numbered from Raleigh Denim. I wear them probably 3-4 days out of the week and my the results have been beautiful to watch. 4 months in / 0 washes. Pants are show with a Tanner Supply Co. leather belt.

Ripped & Repaird – Raleigh Denim

Miles — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:50:19 +0000

Nearly a year ago, I bought my first pair of Raleigh Denim jeans, right when they hit the shelves of the store. My plan was for them to slowly replace my first pair of raw denim jeans, the ones that I have had for nearly 7 months, the ones that I had already ripped holes in and the ones that I had already washed in the ocean. They were going to soon replace the jeans that I had grown to love so much. The only thing is, they replaced them much faster than that.

Over the course of nearly a year, my Raleigh Denim Lincoln Raw Thin Cuts quickly became my favorite pair, leaving my first pair hanging on the door for good. The locally-sourced white oak cone denim was far superior to anything I’d had in the past, so superior that after daily bike riding, it took nearly 9 months to rip a hole in the crotch. From legs of a daily bicycle commuter, 9 months is a long time for a rip to occur.

The following photographs document the rip in the jeans and the amazing repair job by our friends over at Raleigh Denim. This wasn’t a surface repair either, these guys gave my Lincoln’s a repair job that will probably last a lifetime (as you can see from the photographs). They even chain stitched my original hem job. If you’re interested in repair work on your jeans from Raleigh Denim, shoot them an e-mail to see what they can do.
