To answer a few questions that have come up:

Expansion into non-jean markets is a "future expansion"; i.e., get started in jeans and go from there. We do have a couple of those in mind. It's quite possible that a bolt or two of non-denim fabric might sneak in, though.

Tristan: That's actually how we'd start up... three engineers making these in America. That is, however, three engineers who would own the company, and who are trying to keep costs low.

General idea is pretty much a check-the-box or fill-in-the blank model (how else to you put the sizes in?).

RMiller: research that we've done shows that it takes about a yard and a half of fabric to make one pair of jeans.
