  • Eric Yelsma started Detroit Denim in 2008, just as the financial crisis was picking up steam. Today, his shop is one of the only jean manufacturers in Detroit. The small team of 10 churn out about 40 pairs of jeans a week. They’re made of a sturdier type of denim called selvedge. Each pair takes around four hours to make.

    I like this Dude. He's Helping American Fellows with Employment in a place where's so Decadent regarding Job Market besides that I support Made in the USA Products.. I make Denims as well but just for me since i work in many fields where Rough materials are needed due to heavy labor.. Stone Masonry, Stone Pavement, Mosaics and when Accumulated Tiredness or simply bored i switch to Hand make Shoes, Weld, or Antique Furniture Repairs among other things. Switch switch switch so i don't become Crazy .

    notice how a pair of jeans made in america cost $265 bc you're paying for "craftsmanship" but the jeans from walmart are under what like $20? americans think they should be paid fairly but won't pay bengali people the same fair wages. Their cost of livings isn't cheaper, they're just seen as bodies in a sweat shop not people.

      Someone billion dollars comes at a cost of others miserable life out of desperation. As soon as there is alternative noone will do it, just a short term suffering. As soon as Bangladesh GDP reach from $400Billion to $1.5Trillion+ Dollars, cheap labour no longer will be nessasary. Internal demand will surplus overseas like China. Then Bangladesh will need to rely on cheap labour from Africa and South America. European, American, Australian, Russian, Arab economic foundation build on SLAVE TRADE. Status quo remain until abolished.

    Gonna have a look on your web site ? - Do you go as far as doing the light blue denim stonewashed maybe ? - I'll find out ?
    I did go out with a beautiful young lady who was a whizz on a sewing machine - Her mom was a seamstress and obviously showed her daughter how to use the sewing machine - Her thing was to wander around junk shops or flea markets looking for those old 1940'50'&60's Envelopes with paper patterns in - and then Paulla would bring these paper patterns into the future as clothes -She looked dead smart in some of her creations looked like she had walked out of a movie ? We were both nurse's a hospital and we both livied in the nurses home -She would get me to get extra white cotton sheets on bed changing day so she could cut them up and make clothes out of them ! Shouldnt be telling you this - But she never owned a pair of Jeans -She always wore a skirt or a dress - Would say denin is workwear !
    Wish I had never let that girl slip through my fingers one in a million she was !

    What handmade means to me: No machine used in the production of the garment. Sewing by hand means needle and thread work: manually threading the eye of the needle, making the knot and stitch by tedious stitch sewing seams, pressing the seams which all may take days rather than hours. The labor costs would shoot up even higher. I may have to make my own.
