I know. Shouldve been on the front.

Some brands, like Samurai, which is exclusive to Self Edge, are "known for how stiff they are, like sandpaper," Babzani says.

Umm... no? BiG had Samurai before Self Edge.

Otherwise, fantastic article.

yeah, there are a couple of items that are off in the article, but all in all it's absolutely amazing that an article of this caliber has made it onto the front page of such a large media outlet.

i commend Laura for all the research she did to put together an article of this length..

i already had to clear up with Sugarcane that i DO NOT have pairs of their jeans with the arcuates on the back pockets for sale in the store even though the article states that i do..

Hmm, with all me reading here, I never understood the difference between Evis and Evisu (knowing one was earlier form of same company). From reading the article I realised that Evis is Levis with an E.

sorry but there are no preorders for these..

there'll be a release date, on that date we'll sell them in the store for in-store sales only for seven days. on the eighth day we'll put them online for online sales.

make more

it's not that easy..

it's already costing me about $30,000 to make the run we're making..

any more and i might have to sell an organ to pay for the run.

that would greatly put my health at risk, and that would make it difficult for me to work and you might not see ever get to see the SEXI we're working on releasing in June.

I'm just screwin with ya. Just make sure you release them on a weekend so I can drive up there to check them out.

holy shit, $30k? if that's the case u'r not really making any money on them, diam, props!

[HEWSINATOR]

In all seriousness, if that were the case, why not a pre-order (with pay) to cover some of the cash-flow issues that $30 000 would create?
