Earnest Sewn

I bought a lot of Earnest Sewn product towards the end of 2011.
It all started to dissolve in the crotch areas near the same time in 2012.
The company says that 2011 is a crazy long time ago and are void of all product support. Normally I’d argue that jeans and denim are supposed to get better with age. That people spend extra for durability.
But Earnest Sewn admits they aren’t selling good jeans. Just stretchy fashion shit for the ladies who don’t care.
I spent nearly $ 900 with them and 22 months later, my investment was mostly full of MASS HOLES in the back of my pants. In other words, 75% of what I bought had gone to shit.
Of everything I bought, I only have one pair of $ 200 jeans that remains. But hey, If you like an air conditioned crotch, then shop here. See photos for an example.

I’ve always liked Earnest Sewn denim because of the overall quality of the product and the variety of fits offered. I’m more the athletic type with a small waist and big legs rather than one of the little hipster type guys who can fit into children’s large skinny jeans, so finding good designer jeans can be painful. In any case, I spotted the store as I was walking through the LES, and saw that they had a sale of 20−50% off. Yes, I am one who firmly believes that you don’t need to make a fortunate to look presentable, so I was all over this. What I discovered upon entering the store was that ES made a helluva lot more than just denim — t-​shirts, dress shirts, belts. I’ve always been a huge fan of Steven Alan and Band of Outsider dress shirts, but I have found that I like the ES ones almost equally as much after trying a few on. They offer dress shirts in both traditional and a more fitted cut, and the quality of the workmanship looks great. Be sure to check out the clearance area, where you can find bargains on shirts, sweaters, and pants. I found a couple of casual dress shirts for under $ 70.
Service was good, overall. One girl was very average, but the other was super nice and exceptional as a sales associate. Be sure to check-​in with your Unilocal app on your mobile device to get an additional 15% off, including sales items!

I went here with caution in light of the prior reviewers’ opinions on the workers’ attitudes. While they weren’t tripping over each other to greet you at the door, if you ask them a question they’ll answer. After not locating the jeans I wanted in my size, I was offered the option to have them held at the meatpacking store. Also, the guy was extremely honest in his opinions re how the jeans looked in me and dutiful retrieved various colors and sizes without hesitation or attitude. I ended up purchasing a pair I didn’t intend to and am very happy with it. Bonus: made in the USA! I will definitely shop here again…

I threw an event here. It was amazing. Nelly, the store manager, and her staff were completely on point with everything. It was a seamless event and they helped out with everything they could. They even got us knives when we were knifeless.
Jeans are amazing.

Love the décor and the way they merchandise. Little pricey, yea, but I found a work tote that I had to go back for. Love that they do a Unilocal deal where you get 15% off for checking in!

Wanted to love this company but their customer service is turning out to be total shit. And sizing is inconsistent — something I’d hope they’d have together considering the prices of their jeans.

This is the LES outpost for this denim superstar. A little smaller than the meatpacking flagship. I would be inclined to give them 4 stars, as the jeans are hovering in the $ 200 dept. which is pretty much out of my range. This is countered by the fact that this is the only pair of jeans you will wear, everyday of your life, because you love them soooooo making the the prices a little less off-​putting (they are made from the best denim and all hand sewn, flawless detailing etc) Many styles are regularly drastically marked down as well. Beyond jeans, they also carry an exquisite line of shirts, coats, hats, shoes and accessories, plus a lovely flower shop in back.
