Raleigh Denim

One half of my trip to North Carolina involved a stop through Raleigh. While it included several pub stops and a little exploring the highlight was shopping...wierd. Scott sat outside, I did my thing. I've actually been planning a trip just for the sole purpose of visiting the The Raleigh Denim workshop, and it was everything I hoped. The front door labels it the workshop and curatory. Upon entry you are greeted by a typical storefront. A quick glimpse to the left opens to busy workers creating a wearable labor of art. Incredible quality sourced within the state. It was a great experience to view where the product was made and meet the kind people who make them. John (pictured below) even hemmed them to fit while I nosed around.
