This high-end denim brand opened right as the financial crisis picked up steam, but today it's one of the only jean manufacturers in Detroit.
in the throes of the recession, an entrepreneur founded a small Detroit jeans manufacturer that continues to be successful almost a decade later.
The small team of 10 churn out about 40 pairs of selvedge jeans a week. Each pair takes around 4 hours to make.It really started when I had a pair of my favorite jeans and I would take into my tailor and she'd repair them, and they got so threadbare and so worn, she refused to fix my jeans. And I said,"Okay, would you make me a pair?" She told me it couldn't be done. That was kinda the seed that was planted if you can't make a pair of jeans.
