Highlights
"The most beautiful craftsmanship, denim and personalized experience, right in Brooklyn. Bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves his jeans. And we even got to meet the owner and maker at his shop."

"Eric is absolutely awesome! First off, the guy is one of the nicest and most sincere people you'll meet. The custom jeans are perfect — you can tell the construction quality is great. I can't say enough good things."
-Jacob G
"I now have a pair of jeans that fit exactly the way I want at a price competitive with the most sought-after selvedge brands. There's literally no reason for me to ever buy a pair of jeans elsewhere."
