Denim Heads Check This Out!

Check this out - http://www.rpmwest.com/

I love jeans and raw denim and Kickstarter so when you combine all three I really love it. Jeans look great, you get 3 pairs to try on (ala Trunk Club type shopping) and they are American made. All for a very reasonable price.

I am putting in an order tonight and figured I would alert all of you in case you wanted to get in on it.

Already backed it, homie. I always thought this would be a great niche to exploit...as the margins for raw denim right now must be fat.

Please don't quote Patrick Bateman.
 

Those look beautiful, I like me some denim...

The slim straights look good, but I really need to stop buying clothes. I'm really liking my Scotch & Soda raws right now.

And here's a shameless plug for three pairs of Naked and Famous I'm selling right now: Red Core: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400497306224?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=…

Duck: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400497320622?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=…

So you can't buy them yet? You can just back the company? And it looks like they've passed their goal. So what are you backing?

 

I don't really wear raw denim anymore (rocked N&F, APCs, and Imperials through HS/first half of college), but i'm curious what this company's differentiating factor is. Uniqlo MIJ, N&F (and by extension Unbranded), and even APCs on sale all crush this market segment, and I don't see how RPMMWEST can offer anything different.

N&F crush the shit out of my balls. Variety is just fun for denim. And some of these appear to be a better value than the larger brands. And the business model of shipping three pairs to minimize guesswork is pretty cool.

I can't figure out how to buy these though. I don't want to back them. I just wanna buy the damn pants.
