I'll probably give away a few freebies or sell for close to cost. Remember, we are making women's jeans first. Men's is a big maybe.

Why the fvck have you been buying $200 jeans? I didn't even know they sold for that much. Are you insane?

Even $30 feels high

Old navy and AE jeans are plain.

Many people shop at Nordstroms and Bloomingdales for nice jeans.

You tout alot of experience on your team but it seems like you are very confused about the purpose or aim of the company. First of all, do you know anything about the jean industry? Specifically, the difference between price due to quality and price due to simple markup? There aren't *that* many $300 pair of jeans. Also, if you want to talk about top of the line (quality) jeans, they cost $50 tops to make. There is nothing you can do in jean manufacturing (washes, cuts, denim weave) that will make a pair cost more. If you really do want to sell for $30, and make a profit, that means you have to make a pretty poor-okay pair of jeans. So why would someone pay $30 for your jeans when they can pay $30 for Levi's? You say it's because your $30 will really be like the $200 pair of jeans? Do you know why people pay $200 for a pair? Because they are priced at $200, and not at $30.

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way... But, I thought the only difference between premium jeans and the likes of Wrangler, Levis, etc. was the price. If you make jeans and sell them for less than most of the premium jeans are sold for, aren't you competing with Levis??

You don't really think that premium jeans cost more than a dollar more to make than levis, do you??

The difference is all marketing and price.

Please correct me if I'm wrong; as I started this post, I'm confused

Part of the allure of designer jeans is their high price and recognizable brand name.
There are nearly identicle jeans to the designer brands out there in this price range.
So good luck with the company, but this is not a new idea.

I'm always looking for good jeans, low-rise and 31-32" inseam a plus (I am petite and hate hemming 33-34" inseam jeans!). I have spent $10-200+ on one pair of jeans, and have found that my favorites all have a bit of stretch to them. Juicy Couture, Dollhouse, Seven, and Joie seem to fit me best, Blue Cult and regular designer brands (i.e. Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen, etc.) not as well.

If you need anyone to try them out for you, let me know.

Wow what is wrong with you people? I asked for ideas for a label name, not a fvcking business school dissertation critique on the flaws of a business plan. We have fvcking buyers lined up. This isn't some dice roll.

You ask all these questions, but do YOU have any experience in the fashion/manufacturing industry? I'm not here to qualify my business idea; the ball is already rolling, i've seen the samples, we've set the design, now all we need is a label. If you don't want to help with that, go away.

Yup, we know this we made sure to have a bit of stretch in them. We won't have the wide range of sizing as big boys. We made sure fit to be our #1 priority and design #2.

I'll PM you and send you a pair once we get our container. But before we order we need a good name for the label!

I like the name vantage...makes me think of the car.

Nothing to do with luck/don't need luck but thanks. Sorry if I went off on you. You can't really tell over the intarweb if someone is legit or not...I understand that. Now that I think about it, I probably would have reacted the same way as you. But I assure you, we will be very profitable right off the bat.

Fantastic, I appreciate the gesture and will be sure to provide you with plenty of feedback about the fit, design, etc. I am 5'3" and like jeans that I can wear with heels or sneakers, versatility is key (dress up with a fancy top for a night out, dress down with a t-shirt for the beach).

Will you have a "signature design/logo" on one of the back pockets (a'la Seven, etc.)? I'm personally not a huge fan of those, but if they aren't too obnoxious that's fine. When I purchase jeans, I buy them for the fit - will you have boot cut, skinny jeans (all the rage now, but I don't predict the trend will last longer than a season or two), slim leg, etc.?

If they make my butt look good and my legs look long, I'm sold. :thumbsup: As for a name, perhaps:

H2O jeans
Lipstick jeans
Pearl/Gem jeans
A combination of a color + [name] jeans (a'la Blue Cult, etc.)
