After reading a few blogs I stumbled upon Raleigh Denim and immediately got on the phone. To my surprise, the designer actually called me back and we had a brief conversation about denim and the Carolinas. Maybe it's wishful thinking but in my mind if I use local designers or local manufacturers it can help keep food on someone's table. For instance, Raleigh Denim, based out of Raleigh, NC does just that. They use fabric from Cone Mills which is a well respected manufacturer of denim the world over. By using a local denim mill the workers have work to do, the designers can continue to make exceptional jeans, and I can continue to purchase denim for my clients. It's one of those "circle of life" things.
The denim is a bit pricey but thats what happens when you use high quality Carolina denim. Besides, I'm willing to do my part to keep unemployment down.

I find it very sexy when a lady has a sleeve tattoo that's tastefully done.
