It'd be nice to see flags or sections for new releases and deadstocks.. I'm honestly loving the fundamentals of the site, though.. great job, Lawless team! ..now if I can just convince you guys to put the 3D, rotating, "customize your character" functionality in to the site

I think that when all of our 50% off orders are in, there will be a caos of people not thinking the product looks like the swatch...bad fits....some have a button come loose, some have wierd stitching and all those other problems that does happen, but I also think there will be alot of epicly nice garments. It will take a long time to lock in that LD = good raw denim. I used to work in the restuarant business and my boss always came up with new ideas he wanted for the menu and we let it ran for a short time and then he had a new idea. If my restuarant is "Mc Corners" and I start serving a pie...its gonna take atleast 2 years before people start talking about it as "a Mc Corners pie". So there will be a bumpy rod for sure and some say it cant be done (without a major brand or business in the back, like LG is Philips as a bad example).
Roman reminds me of my father. My father (god rest his pedantic soul) had a lether fabric, and did alot of the designing of new patterns. He made epic stuff, some were timeless and still rocks today and some I didnt get. When I see things like lether flaps on a shirt this reminds me of my father, and it tells me its an artist from the old school here. My dad would not deliver on time, he wouldnt keep deadlines like "drop 12 tomorrow" but he would always make the customer happy in the end aslong as you are a person able to comunicate with and have some sort of understanding that its not just a packeted ipod on the shelf your buying but a little bit of soul in there, and understand that if he just hires 100 people then we will have QC-issues, so this isnt the right way to go either in the beginning.
I dont know if what I see is true, but this is the first impressions I got, and I feel I can trust them, and also know that my order might be delayd and that all might not be perfect, but still I feel that the items that do get right, will have alot more worth to me then an off the shelf item. This is why me personally is willing to "invest" a small amount to see if I am right.

There was a similar thing that happened with Gustin where someone noticed they photoshop'd a different color over an existing pic. *Looks like the pic of Roman holding both fabrics has already been posted.

I'm not saying there's something shady going on but everything seems to be quite haphazard, no drop at 12 mst as promised I delayed the launch becaus eof people doubting the validity of the photo's. I made him take photo's of the denim which took him away from posting the new denims. He would have had them up on time but i felt this needed to be addressed

What shirt make up are you guys going with the Hbones? Like shirt style, thread, etc? This should go in the "what have you ordered-thread" but here goes: I Love the Omaha shirt and think its the best looking one for shirt/ws. The western one is good, but looks very western and I will get one classic with white marbled snaps later on. The Oregon is good, but I have hd bad experience with flaps on thick material, it doesnt drape very much since its folded and kinda thick at the overside of the flap. But then I can see tht the Omaha isnt made with tripple stitch and so on so, and therefore i chose: Oregon-shirt with Omaha pockets.
I havent seen the fabric and its very hard to know what thread. I would love contrast thread, but the fabric looks vintage-y so the white would be too crisp. On my monitor the khaki looks like an off-white, but if its infact khaki then thats no good so didnt risk it. Then I thought copper could be cool, but felt it might look to western-y so im saving that for a westernshirt. Then I thought topas, this is kinda 80`s Lee and might work. So I asked Roman in the chat and he said Brown! and it kinda felt right so thats what I went with. Brown threadButtons. Ok so black would have been good with an off-white thread but doesnt siut a brown thread. Suspense. This is final order: 1 x 12 oz. Candiani wafer (postal blue h-bone) Shirt Style: Oregon with omaha pockets Thread Color: Brown Button: Black copper metalButton Snaps on Cuff: Two Since the buttons are small and the fabric is 10oz, I really think this could be nice.

Excellent points - Derek G- we got your back here, I think we're not feeding into the negativity in this forum, which is one of the reasons I enjoy everyone's perspective. @wils - excellent points as well. I read the reddit thread and laughed about how apparently I'm one of the many "employees" populating this forum and praising Lawless. You're both correct - it's their loss. They'll be lurking on this forum once their Lawless orders are delivered (which they won't mention on reddit) but will be like "I knew they were gonna be big! (but don't search my user name on reddit please)" Anyway, I'm really impressed by how far the LD&Co website has come, just in 3 days since my last order. Love the "local pick-up" option. It gives you guys a reason to come to AZ and visit! I bought a couple of shirts the other night and opted for another just because the deal is too good to pass up. And if the difference in my order numbers is any indication, Roman & company are gonna be very busy.

Sorry to hear. I am getting similar treatment from Reddit but I met enough "losers" in this world that cannot see past things that they don't understand. The best revenge is Lawless being successful and they then regret on missing out this incredible sales. Hater is going to hate... nothing much we can do about it. I know...It's just so frustrating, like trying to clap with one hand, lol Try to help some brothers out and get crapped on.. I just don't understand. I hope one day to see some posts on those sites along the lines of "Dang! I wish I would have listened, now I missed out" Again brothers...I am really sorry for all the F bombs, I hope I didn't offend anyone. Also, a BIG apology to Laura if she sees my post, as I don't speak this way in front of a lady.

HI All. I must say that the response was not what I was expecting. I did not know there where so many hater in the denim world. The Denim brands I know help each other and support each other work. I am sorry the response was so negative. Then again the numbers speak volumes for what people believe and want. I had more reddit reader on my site and buying then anyone else. (next to you guys of course.) All I want to do is produce a great product at a fair price and put some people to work. nothing more. If it is a crime to believing in a good american made product at a fair price then I guess I'm screwed cause that is want I'm going to do. I will continue to move forward with LD&CO. and we will become a successful brand. Maybe not in the eye of the die hard denim fans but to the general public that up until now was not willing to try a selvedge denim jean because they could not understand the price point for work wear. I make my clothing for the average hard work person that knows what they want. They don't have to spend half there pay check on a pair of jean that are made in some US factory for $15.00 a pair then marked up 600%. Is that number real? yYes very real everyone pays it and they do their mark up. So you wonder how I can make a jean for $40.00. easy. I control every thing in my factory. How many brand can say that? I don't pretend to be making clothing by labeling my clothes American Made and posting pics of some factory with quotes like " at the factory checking out thread colors" to my IG account. So I ask you who is the real fake? I can proudly say not us. We walk the talk every single day 7 days a week.

There will no doubt be issues along the way, but what separates the good from the great is the way people respond to these issues. Perfection is boring.. look forward to issues as challenges and opportunities to demonstrate how you can rise to the occasion. If you need to, hit us up either as a group or individually.. I have a feeling the brahs on this forum do it with old school values and return your effort and loyalty 110%.

Thank you wisdom. You can count on LD&CO and myself to have you guys back. If there is an issue. We will make it right. I do operate on old school values. I still make deals with a hand shack and I keep my word. You will see that I am just a big a fan of you guys and you are of LD&CO.
