Product Description
To be, rather than to seem: It’s North Carolina’s state motto, and one adopted by local jeans maker Raleigh Denim. It stands for jeans made the old-school way—in small batches of about 300 pairs; slowly, with no automation, using hand-graded patterns and refurbished machinery from the glory days of denim in the Blue Ridge Mountains Read More

Is there any particular reason why folks can't make sizes for folks with larger bodies, or is it just that body shaming is still enjoyable for some? Lots of money on the table because of this particular prejudice.

Haha, once in a blue moon I get a notification on this thread because someone has responded to it, and I have a good chuckle all over again.
Ah, the world is such a strange place with such... varied... perspectives.
I've heard of the Duluth stuff, would like to check it out one day (I'm not in the US).

Then you can choose to prejudice this drop and not purchase. Not offering every possible size imaginable is not prejudice, it's business.
No one is forcing you to buy, you have every right to complain but it's not prejudice if a business would go broke offering infinite sizes, ultimately not offering any size.
SJW thinking is authoritarian by trying to force society to go along with what a minority of the population want, even if it means it's demise. Selfish, self centered, ignorant and extremely hypocritical because of a refusal to even think of the other sides perspective.
I wouldn't go into McDonald's and demand a triple quarter pounder, then call it prejudice because it's not on their menu and they refuse to serve me. That would be the epitome of ignorance of how business works.
Is it really that hard to understand? It's not always just about you. Entitlement.

Truly a dynamic duo, Victor and Sarah Lytvinenko, have been making blue jeans for over a decade in America’s terra sagrada of indigo twill, North Carolina. What few people know is that self taught Victor and Sarah, not only design the jeans, but they actually build & rebuild their machinery, hand-grade + cut & sew their 5 pocket pants themselves. They are as deep as the craft comes. We turned to them for our latest denim collaboration.
Sarah and Victor, are self-taught jean-smiths and early on as they faced challenges they turned to the current & ex-factory workers in the surrounding counties in the hills of North Carolina and Kentucky to impart the expertise that they had learned from working in America’s glory days of denim factories. The machinery they have refurbished is rescued from these same denim workers and for some magical reason jeans built on machinery that last last as well.
The jeans are built in downtown Raleigh by Raleigh Denim’s 10 sewer workshop. Raleigh is one of only a handful in the US to run their own production. Their sewing and construction is tough to equal and super excited to offer this product to our community.
A couple things to mention for the big and tall - Raleigh does offer Sizes 35 + 40 and all their jeans are 35” inseams.

Those pockets are super neat. I am not the biggest fan of having buttons where there is usually a zipper, having buttons there is really bulky

erickongIt's really not, and even the small amount this sanforized denim can shrink would warp the zipper, which would be far worse. Raleigh Denim's pattern keeps the buttons unobtrusive to you.

As a long time supporter and owner of several Raleigh Denim products (and also a resident of Raleigh, NC), I'm so excited for Victor and Sarah to be partnering up with Massdrop! My Raleigh jeans are tops in quality of all the denim I own, and I can't speak high enough praise for their offerings. Good luck to RDW in getting their work out to a new audience.

Damn you Americans and your vanity sizing. You shouldn't have to have a row for waist size in your fit guide. 33 should be 33 inches, not 35.... Own up you fatties...

Neither Gustin nor Taylor Stitch use vanity sizing. Then again, all I care about is getting the actual measurements, so no problem here.

P_J_NThat just shows how much you know about us. In America we've all switched to elastic waistbands. When we're not wearing Snuggies, that is.

Great deal, particularly give the regular price. (Which, by the way, is on par to similar companies. I'm thinking of Detroit Denim, the most neaby comparable company to my location.) Notice, too that this price is closer to Gustin and Taylor Stitch. I like that they use "real" sizing. I wouldn't go so far as to call it "vanity sizing", but it's simply more realistic for the average build.
I would prefer the tapered work fit.
Oh, and please, please, please offer the option to pay a little extra for hemming. If that was offered for this drop, I'd be all over it.

Yes. I would have to measure my unworn Gustin jeans to check for sure, but their sizing is fairly tight. I mainly wear a pair of the Okayama Standard, and they're great. They've stretched along with my waist a little and are still comfortable. (lol)
But yeah, from what I can tell, a pair of these in 35 would be perfectly fine.

Can someone please explain to me the difference between a 30-dollar and 150-dollar pair of jeans?

I guess I'm just not the right target demographic for this product. I'd never spend a months rent on a pair of jeans. Yes, I pay close to 150/month rent but it's a small and shitty place.

Woah... my rent is $1125, and I’m in a suburb (not a planned community, it’s a 2 br townhouse wall to wall with others, no garage, counting bathrooms and kitchen it’s 6 rooms), not downtown at a major business center. I could go to a 1 br 1 bath (combined living/dining room, galley kitchen) apartment for like $750, and I’ve seen some places literally crumbling apart or molding that still cost significantly more than $150.
I hope it’s a safe place for you, and in that case you have an amazing deal. Nicer jeans have nicer denim with a whole different character (softer to the touch, break-in rather than just rip, improve with age) from what I usually bought at Walmart/Old Navy/Marshall’s, and a fit that almost feels tailored, but functionally they don’t make you any more clothed, warm, or protected from weather than other jeans. I caught a Banana Republic pair of jeans at 60% off, but really it’s just a luxury. Do what’s right for you.

No activity for a few months , Just wanted to check in and see if we are still on track for a May ship date?
It'll give me a few months to work off the holiday weight :) .

@john.webb Presumably these are Sanforized, right? Could that be added to the overview page?
