Lawless Denim Ready To Wear

So the RTW "sale" was supposed to last until Sunday, right? Now it's Wednesday morning and the sale is still going on. Either they got nowhere near the 500 pairs or they are completely inept at running a business. If and when the price goes back to $69 no one is going to buy it. We will all just wait until the next panic sale.

Based on what I've seen from picture on this forum, LD sees up really beautiful jeans (I have never ordered from them based on all the precaution of reading thru what you guys have been thru with them). It almost makes you wish you could take the obvious business sense of the G team and combine it with the jeans making sense of LD. *sigh* I guess all my denim purchases will need to come from CF in the future.

Yes that was a parody not an actual LD message, lol

This is hysterical.  Looks like another version of their wacky business model to raise cash.  Ill be shocked if any significant RTW product is delivered in the next two weeks.....

Its such a shame in how Roman has turned what could have really been a dynamite brand, into the farce it is today. If only he would have had the insight to hire someone with some business knowledge, and experience in this field, and then let that person do their job. Such an opportunity lost.

He's clearly just doing whatever he wants, which is fine, because it's his business.  But it is, as davelewis says, a shame at the opportunity lost for not having competent people help run the business.  When Dirty_Denim was there, I always felt Romaine didn't give Sal the power he needed to make a real difference, power that Cody had when he was running CS at Gustin. If Romaine could give up some control to a competent business manager and FA/accountant, they could do some great things.  But Romaine has control issues, and that's what's holding the company back from really succeeding.

Its sweet and "roman"tic that he wants to bring a $35 priced jean from the 1800's but u have to do it smart and have everything in order.

or in 1800 days.  He is dyslexic (true story) so when he said 1800's he meant 1800 days

Their jeans were just OK. My IxI were what, $90something? I forget what the regular prices were. I like them only because I can wear them without a belt and my thighs fit, but all my new pairs are CF.

I'm kicking myself for ordering from Lawless again LOL. Going to wait til Friday for shipping, if nothing happens, I will ask for refund and wait until Tuesday/Wed, then go through my CC

I'm kicking you too - in a finely hand-made pair of Gustins... 

Basically what you're saying is, in order to get a good product, you need to get a job at LD and do your own QC.

This is because the sewers are not being taught about obvious things like this.  For instance pocket sizes were all wrong.  A size 38 waist was getting the same pocket that a size 30 would get.  I am sure u all remember that.  I got in the shop and quickly made that a must fix.  Once i left the pockets went back to being pulled wrong lol.   My own jeans have pockets that belong on a 30 waist at best.  QC is completely absent.  These are such easy fixes but the stress of getting orders out makes it hard to check every order.  At the same time i feel it should be very easy to just put up a template for buttons and pocket sizes.  I also was witness to wrong pocket shapes being chosen for the wrong shirts.  Again having a template for each design at each station would solve this


Another thing that would solve a lot is to better label denims as they come in.  The swatch books are extremely important and should have been kept in order.  These are such small and easy fixes that they were looked at as un important because they didnt have a value in that Roman saw no money coming in from these fixes.    


RTW will be a huge step in the right direction but the little things have to be addressed

I do this also, and it certainly helps, but I think it becomes more pronounced, the longer the shirt hem , as it naturally wants to roll up from sitting down, and bunching up from the back of chairs.
