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.

How Handmade Jeans Are Made In Detroit
Selvedge is a hype. It can last longer? Levis also can do that. Better price, much comfortable..
$265 for a jeans? That jeans better have a built in toilet and wifi .
I hope they an online store like on amazon their business will be boomin
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.
😲
American made? I'll buy 10.
YAY my city!
The secret ingredient is chunks of human hand
