LA snob makes expensive jeans. No fat people allowed. Get great jeans from Carhartt for less than $35 for real people who really work. The backstory here is shameful.

tomcunLA makes more denim than any city in America. I'm not sure where you're feeling like this is shameful, as it's an American product through and through. And if we're being honest, the raw denim community isn't really that interested in Carhartt for the most part. To each their own though!

SkipPeRegarding sizing: we offer all the sizes we can, and while I agree that a larger spread of sizes would be nice, each brand picks their sizes based on what sells best and how much inventory risk they want to take on. Since it's their money, it's sort of their call on how thin they want to spread their inventory. We'll always offer as much as we can!

tomcunI'm afraid you might not be educated on the difference in quality between Carhartt jeans and raw denim. Granted, I too am tired of every raw denim company having some BS backstory. Furthermore, Cone Mills denim can be had from Gustin's for $79. Regardless, the comparison to Carhartt is ridiculous. Those jeans cost so little because they are usually sewn up in countries with dire labor laws, meaning the workers can be exploited to increase profit (and they are). I'll gladly pay a little extra to ensure I am not contributing to that. Furthermore, the quality (stitching, rivets, denim weight, etc.) of Carhartt is not comparable to most companies offering raw denim. Sure, when your covering your pants with paint, you might want a cheap pair you can replace in a year. But for those of us not in manual labor, raw denim will last us much longer than the traditional jean, especially if it's avoiding the dryer as raw denim typically does.
