Hey NS! I've been working on starting up a jeans company for about six months, and our company FB page is finally live! Check it out at http://www.facebook.com/SterlingBrendan

Sterling Brendan is an LA-made jeans company that gives 30% of profits to American education.

We are finishing up sampling and will be launching our Kickstarter campaign within the next month. Below is a sneak peek.

Thanks for the support! Feel free to hit me up with any questions/comments at Info@SterlingBrendan.com

Not selvedge. All of our denim is American-made and is a 98/2 cotton/lycra blend.

Our samples are washed so we know our shrinkage, but in production, we will most likely be going raw.

Black ones actually look pretty nice. Sizes and prices? Hopefully there will be a size 31/32 x 34, and under $80

im also curious about the price range, since youre giving away 30% that you make i assume they will be fairly pricey.

We will be rolling out with two fits: skinny and straight leg. Waist sizes will range from 29-38, and the inseam length will be around 33. Because of our material quality and American manufacturing, we will be in the designer price range. I can't say for sure exactly what our MSRP is going to be - that will be dependent upon our final production costs per unit. For our upcoming Kickstarter campaign, the discounted pre-order price will be around $100. Like us on FB to stay updated.

We plan to! Once we get up and running, we will be expanding into women's, other types of pants, and other types of garments.

Despite the fact that I give a flying fuck about charities, I do like to help start ups but now you have lost me.

Dude, I'm not sure how you missed this, but some dipshit sewed your back pockets on crooked. This error makes them the easiest pants in the world to pickpocket. I'd definitely recommend you find a new seamstress.

Haha the angle is intentional! It gives them a unique look and a good feel at that angle when you reach in. We've been testing em for months with no issues.

Being unique doesn't make it better, or prettier in this case.

Fair enough. It's a different look that some will hate and some will love. Regarding your previous post, which part did I lose you at? It wasn't clear.

The point where you said you didn't use selvedge denim.

Gotcha. Selvedge is great, but for the feel we're going for, it's not the best choice. Additionally, the manufacturing process with selvedge creates a lot more waste.
