Raleigh Denim

I’m giving Raleigh Denim a 5 star rating because Unilocal won’t let me give them 6.
The enthusiasm they have for their products is clearly on display in the form of high quality denim and A+ service. You can tell that these folks love what they do.
‘Service’ doesn’t feel like the right word here. I felt like they actually cared about what I was looking for. The details that were important to me. I didn’t have to repeat myself or arduously explain why something didn’t seem to fit right.
These are good people selling quality denim at a fair price. They had other stuff (shirts, etc.) too but I was too focused on jeans to wander about the store for other things.
Please support this business.

I wanted to find out what it was to get a good-​ass pair of jeans. American-​made, handmade, rough-​at-​first but sturdy jeans sewn from denim, thread and brawn. The staff is friendly and knows the line very well whether you’re looking for something with some room or wetsuit-​tight. I recommend trying on and buying them in the store for the best fit recommendation and the free hemming which they turn around in a few days.
After six months of wear and tear I can attest that they have worn in comfortably with not a tear. They’re on the pricier side but after a few months you’ll wonder why the hell more jeans aren’t built like this.

Perfect experience: walked in Friday after work, salesgirl approached while I was checking out the women’s section, I told her I saw the line on an online website, came in to check out and she walked me through the differences between the cuts, what was new and then left me alone to explore. I tried a few based on her explanation, picked the one I liked best, she fit/​marked them for hemming which they do in-​house, and called me that night to let me know they were ready and I could come in the next day to pick up. Thank you Raleigh for making gorgeous raw denim that wears beautifully and feels great to move in, and thank you Becky for outstanding customer service and pointing me towards my new favorite pair of jeans.

So what kind of a business gets all 5 star reviews? Surely this can be explained by paid shills, or friends, or the rarest of them all: just being a great business.
Jeans are fantastic. Did not buy at this location but it doesn’t matter, since I’m sure Raleigh’s quality is the same across the board. Jeans are also expensive. They do run sales, but still expensive. I got another pair as a gift and I would gladly pay full price for them. They feel great, made in North Carolina with traditional materials, just like the way people say jeans from before mass popularization post-​WWII were.
Service is great. Went in to get Raleigh jeans hemmed. Elsewhere, jeans hemmed easily goes to $ 15, even at a local dry cleaner. Want to also preserve the original hem? Goes up to $ 25 – 35. And chainstich it too? Easy location/​not east of Bowery as well? Guess how much Raleigh jeans cost to hem here. Nothing. They do it with a smile, and have an extremely reasonable turnaround.
Would love to see Raleigh become as well known as some other brands that are purely name and very average substance. This store sure is helping to do that.

My girlfriend has a pair of their jeans and loves them so when I was able to purchase a pair online, I brought them here to inquire about hemming services. I was pleasantly surprised that they offered complimentary [chainstitched] hemming for Raleigh jeans no matter where you bought them. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about their denim. The jeans were ready in a few days. They even hemmed it with the red and gold stitching like the rest of the jeans!
As for the jeans, they are normally on the pricier side but there are few jeans that pay so much attention to detail. And mine fit great (Nash fit)!
If you’re in the area, this store is worth a stop. Raleigh is a great jean company and this store has the BEST customer service!

my Raleigh jeans are my new favorite jeans I love the look and the fit I wish i could give Beau, my salesman more than 5 stars. I was visiting NY and pressed for time when i arrived He listened to what i wanted and gave me a size and cut that worked i’m a big guy, 6’3 250 and i appreciate him not trying to squeeze me into skinny jeans. Many current, hip jean stores make you feel like you’re annoying them or they are too hip for you, fine, let them keep their jeans and do yourself a favor, take your business to raleigh jeans. Beau even sent me a thank you card for buying. I’m a customer for life

UPDATE: My jeans are breaking in brilliantly and are super comfortable. In addition, the salesperson’s name was Beau. How do I know that? He sent me a hand written thank you card. Thanks Beau… I heart you too!

For the record: I am a real person, and this is totally unsolicited. Please don’t hold it against me that I haven’t written many reviews. This place deserves some praise.
Fantastic service. Becky was very knowledgeable and helped me navigate my first experience shopping for raw denim. The jeans were all great quality. Yes, you can get Raleigh at Barney’s and a few other places, but if you’re in NYC, I would highly recommend seeking out their dedicated store.

This is a fantastic store. Under 300 for 100% american made selvedge denim that is tailored for you when you buy it. The people in the store are very knowledgeable and friendly.
If you are a guy with large thighs/​butt because you are athletic, the work fit is perfect. I can finally own a pair of designer jeans without looking like I’m going to burst out of them.

If you want great, amazing jeans — this is your destination! We wandered into the store after seeing a review and, in every aspect, Sarah and Victor (the owners) exceeded our expectations. Jeans in a wide variety of colors, cuts, and fabrics — my favorites include the standard cut (notice the detail on the back pockets!) and those with a bit of stretch for a slightly dressed up and «super-​comfortable» feel. Put on a pair and they feel like those favorite jeans you’ve had for years. Ask Sarah to show you the «murdered out» jeans! They even hem your new jeans on a vintage sewing machine while you wait. Get on the subway! Get on the bus! Grab a taxi! BUT, get there — I doubt I’ll ever buy jeans anywhere else!
