will be visiting DD for more of:

haha.. so you like my vintage trunks? Thanks!

nice the site's coming along.

Pletty, I like how you're straight forward in your updates giving good info on the sizing/fit/fading progress.

As opposed to the other contributers who include all the personal fluff that makes them blog-writers. I'd rather see pics of a detail rather than read their description of it.

I don't care much for their personal lives, just the progress of the jeans.

On the other hand, it might be that gibberish/writing style that gives some authors their personalities. And it might reach out to that demographic of denim-noobs who are that type of audience....just not me personally.

I'm not feeling the V in the back of the pulsar's, but the fit looks good. they're fading quick for only 1.5 months.

and i'm 6'1 and 170lbs too, i don't get how the hell you're a 29, crazy.

haha... 10 years of running and college cross country and now triathlons... and they are obviously like 31's after streching...

@znoyer, did you read the thread? do you acknowledge who started the conversation? come on man. your shit-talking isn't funny or cruel. you gotta try. read the thread, you might get some ideas.

second, your logic, like so many before you is fail. Kiya started the debate/discussion, questions were asked and not answered. if they got blow back by presenting the/their product that way its not my fault. i simply asked the man to answer the questions. Pletty, the guy from DD, came to the thread and answered the questions. s/he has balls.

Have you read any other thread(s) here? are you tearing up when those stray off topic? you have anything you want to say about DD or are my posts clogging your part of the intertubes?

I'm a guy... c'mon? Ryan?... how many girls have the name Ryan?

Ugh. (10 char)

haha... this is hopeless... next someone will say that we shouldn't support brands... hilarious

1.) The reason the Contributor’s opinion matters is because I know them and trust them. That’s it. I don’t know you, therefore how exactly was I supposed to reach out to you and see what audience you could bring and gain some traction on your style. I don’t have the time to run through these types of forums so I went with people I trust that’s it...didn’t I state that I don’t spend much time on here? It has nothing to do with this site. It works great for people who already know about it, but the normal consumer will not look to this or style forum to scroll through 28 pages of comments to find some lingering post about sizing down in APCS…

2.) There is a gap, it's a perception gap, and my nine years of brand management and retail marketing may have helped me come to this conclusion. I think you guys fail to realize how small this sector is. I'm trying to make it bigger, not waste time fighting with the 1% that are already in great denim. You guys know this stuff, we understand that. But the Denim archive is site based on the finish line, great denim. I want to help people understand how to size, purchase, and wear in and care for great denim.

3.) I hope that you love brands and not just products. I want you make a connection with them, and more importantly feel like you are a part of that brand; otherwise I'd probably not work in marketing.

Pletty, Check your PMs.

Thanks got it...

You fail to understand that you aren't entitled to any answers and the way you construct your criticisms/questions just leaves people rolling their eyes. If you actually care about getting answers then you should rephrase your questions and learn to edit yourself. For someone who seems so interested in debating you are completely inept when it comes to making the other party interested in answering you.

was this to me? Thanks...

I'm sorry that you think new denim customers are ignorant. They are the ones keeping these companies that you apparently love so much in business. As for my friends (the contributors) that own shops and/or represent brands (2 of nearly 30) of course they are wearing the jeans that they like... even if they are brands they work for or sell. I hope that our readers will ask questions and be able to determine for themselves what they like... there is zero money being paid by these brands, in fact most brands have zero to do with the Debate. There will be a Supporters page that allows people to submit photos and other info once I have the time to build out more features, as well as more brands and contributors that are not listed up yet. Please wait for some of the content to go live before jumping to conclusions. (This information was posted in the comment thread on the site).

I'm guessing this is going to be a lost cause to continue chatting here... if you'd like to actually provide some feedback, comment on the site, otherwise I guess you can continue the negativity on this thread. I’ll be on my site trying to make it better. Thanks for the positive feedback from some of you!

I'm not for sure exactly what you guys are so upset about because another site is trying to create something on a topic you obviously like... this site is not made to replace or compete with the SuFu’s of the world… I just wanted something better looking, easier to operate and not so entrenched…

If you have any constructive criticism for the site, other than discussing what brands we aren't covering (which I don't understand why this matters since we bought the jeans we wanted) and why we all don't work in construction when 90% of you are white-collar workers anyway. Feel free to comment, ask questions and help us make a better site… otherwise enjoy bantering here amongst yourselves.
