Williamsburg Garment Company is Bringing Denim Production Back Home
The Williamsburg Garment Company is a Brooklyn based, one-man operation producing men’s and women’s denim, pants and shirts at pricing that is well in line or under most traditional producers. Much of the success in pricing has been due to off-shore production and keeping low overhead Stateside, but that model is changing as production heads back to the U.S.A. Some would say for the better.
With President Obama’s new initiative calling for more business to return home, Williamburg Denim Company founder, Maurice Malone has begun to bring denim production back to the U.S.A. Their Hope denim is the first garment in the Williamsburg Garment Company’s “Made in the U.S.A.” collection. Made from 12oz. North Carolina Cone denim, the U.S.A.-made Hope denim retails for 4 – a price that will certainly work for most.
While the move back to locally produced denim by Williamsburg Garment Company is of importance to us, the fit of their denim is as important. As usual, we recommend fitting yourself every pair of denim jeans you plan on purchasing as fits are a personal matter. We have been testing the 13.5oz raw selvedge Grand Street slim fit denim for more than a month. The fit for this writer is a solid one: my pair have contoured well to my form and the denim performs well while commuting on a bicycle to dressing them up with a jacket. Like most Williamsburg Garment Company clothing, the Grand Street denim stays clear of fancy details and focuses on fit and price. Available online and through select retail outlets.
