You know, you bring up a good point with the price. I often ask myself why people buy certain brands with inflated costs, and right now the only answer I can find is because these brands are marvelous marketing trains, in other words great branding. Thats what I want to establish as well. I would make the counter-argument that people buy certain expensive brands because of the quality first and foremost. It's up to consumers to determine what they're willing to pay. I would also say that word-of-mouth is typically how brands establish themselves. If you make a high quality product and it shows, then customers will tell anyone who will listen about your brand. If you look around this forum you'll notice that a lot of us post threads about denim brands many of us have never heard of before. Not only does this enable the rest of us to check out new companies but also to see what else is out there. I enjoy our conversation. You, and a lot of people on this board, are well informed people. You're right, there are a lot of well informed customers, however, there are also a lot of people, and by a lot I mean a whole lot, who buy just based on brand recognition. Word of mouth will definitely be a friend of my brand. Hopefully.

Hey fellas - let's please try not to piss on the guy's thread, OK? At this stage, we're looking at a well-intentioned startup from the looks of things and I think we can reserve the poison for those that have shown us the bad side of gear companies. Carry on... I appreciate that, I really do have all the best intentions, but I understand thats not enough. I also understand why people might be weary. It's tough when people have had so many bad experiences with brands, which is part of the reason I am doing this. It's all about transparency. NP. We're here to support each other and vendors, when they do right. Of course when things go south, the leashes come off, so I do indeed wish you well. Not just for you but for all the guys that got hosed here *and elsewhere by certain makers. There are a lot of guys here that want to see small, American companies make it - and make killer gear. We do wish you luck.
