Origin USA Has anyone bought from these guys? Mainly the pants or jeans. What say the hive? Should I fo? No, I don’t work with or for them. They make a bunch of stuff and pricing seems on par with designer stuff. I’m liking the “MADE IN THE USA” and their story: THE ORIGIN STORY There’s a question we’re asked quite often: Why do you do it? Why work so hard to bring back manufacturing that’s been surrendered to overseas companies? The answer is simple. Because not existing, not trying is to accept things as they are. And we can’t do that. It’s just not in us to surrender our birthright and the promise of the American Dream. Because we all know what surrender looks like. Friends and relatives who’ve had their livelihoods stripped from underneath them and sold to the lowest bidder... China. Abandoned mills, empty train yards, decaying infrastructure, and tenements gone to seed. Communities that once supported themselves and thrived with vital industry now just sad reminders of what used to be. So we set out to bring it all back. Even when they laughed at us. Especially when they laughed. In 2011, we drew a line in the dirt. Not a narrow track but a trench raked with a boot heel. It was an act of raw emotion and perfect clarity. The near surrender of American Industry was leaving our country vulnerable, our communities gutted, and our knowledge base depleted. So we chose a different future - one where we weren't waiting for someone else to step up. By sweat, nerve, and sheer will, we put that vision in motion with our own hands: We cleared a swath of forest in the foothills of western Maine. We built a 7,000 sq. ft. timber-frame manufacturing facility. We rescued a historic loom and gave it a second chance to craft the American Dream. And then we just kept going – building, growing, learning, improving. It’s been 12 years of heavy lifting. Of salvaging looms and repairing machinery left to rust on the heap. Of retrofitting factories. Of seeking out a dying breed of craftsman and attaining knowledge on the verge of oblivion. Of teaching ourselves a lifetime of skills. Of building teams and best-in-class products. Of growing with the needs of our customers. And of paying a steep price for the lessons learned along the way. (We call those lessons “tuition payments.”) But we never stopped grinding, pushing ahead. We knew what we were rebuilding and what was at stake: pride, hope, and healing this bruised and battered American Dream. Today, we occupy 230K sq. ft. of manufacturing space across four facilities in two states and employ over 400 people. And we’re just getting started. |

I have a pair of their “fighter fight” jeans, they are very comfortable and have the right amount of stretch. They fit similar to Levi’s 541’s, which I was trying to replace. Planning to buy a couple more pairs. They usually run a deal to get two pairs for $90, which is really close to what a good pair of nice looking jeans costs. |
| I bought a kilo hoodie when they were on sale. Well built but probably not worth the price unless buying american made is your goal. I’d say it’s on par with the carhart heavyweight hoodie that can be had pretty much anywhere for 60% the cost when you figure in shipping. |

Quoted: I got a pair of boots and two pairs of jeans. Jeans are stiff. Only thing I don't like is that they are close to being "skinny" jeans. they have bootcut jeans now I love my origin jeans and have 4-5 pairs, just wish they would come out with something besides dark wash in their heavier work jeans. |

Quoted: Jeans too stiff? Good. Quoted: Quoted: I got a pair of boots and two pairs of jeans. Jeans are stiff. Only thing I don't like is that they are close to being "skinny" jeans. Jeans too stiff? Good. Well…I fo'd on about 11 pairs of jeans and pants  . Received them about 20 minutes after I posted this thread last night. I was able to get 4 delta relaxed fit (2 dark and 2 medium wash), 2 MOAB straight cut (sable and dark khaki), 2 VSRA utility (lichen and carbon grey), 1 VRSA Lite (cannon), 2 Nyloc Straight Solid (black and scout tan). Unfortunately I couldn’t get them all at buy 2 @ $99 each. Most were at 10% off with doing their email/text deal thing. I think I spent about $1200 after taxes. Yes, I needed all new jeans/pants…lost a good amount of weight and it was time to buy new clothes since it’s been about 12 years since I bought jeans. Their delta jeans are crazy soft. Their work jeans lines are the stiff ones and seem like those are the ones that will take about 40 wears and 20 washes to start to break in. Probably will last forever. The non work line will probably last long too but will need to be more careful. |

Quoted: How are the pockets? My chief complaint with most jeans these days is that the front pockets are tiny. Pockets and crotch for me. The only thing comfortable I have found is the cut of Wrangler Riggs work pants and Duluth Trading Ballroom jeans. If they're cut like that I'll buy some. |

I was planning on spending some money with them this evening, checked the website last night. This morning I have an email welcoming me to their company. I didn’t give them my email. I didn't ask to be emailed by them. I’m sure I agreed to give all my information out freely to anyone who pays for it, but I’ll go out of my way to not spend a dollar there again. I’d say Bill lost a customer. |

We're so desperate for names to add  to add to our mailing list that we we scan visiting customers' computers for unpatched exploits in order to discover their email! I don't think that's happening yet in my reality. Black Hat is in August so plenty of time to prepare a paper. Do go on about how visiting a web site exposes your email addresses. |

I’d never heard of you until yesterday, I don’t know who “you” are. I visited your website for the first time ever, clicked through some boots and pants and left. This morning I have this email. I didn’t fill out your little box or ask for shit. Like I said, I’m sure I agreed to this through google as I’m sure everyone has. You paid to access my information and market to me. That’s fine. I don’t appreciate it and will spend my money elsewhere.  |

Delta 68 or equivalent now(delta flex straight) are basically jeggings. Very light, very stretchy. Quite roomy. Good summer “jean”. Too much spandex to really call it a jean imo. But if you’re super jacked or fat they’re great. Good for the summer. |

It’s the second time I’ve had this happen, I’ve used gmail for 16 years or so. I understand how the internet works, I don’t appreciate getting emails I didn’t ask for. Sounds like a setting they have turned. I can buy girly boots somewhere else if I find the need for them. Any reason you don’t show the soles? I’m guessing most people buying them are more worried about how well they match their purse? |
| I've been meaning to buy a pair of their boots but last time I checked they don't make any wellington style. I have one pair of laced boots, one pair of laced anything for that matter because of my bad back. Anyone know what their return policy experience is like if the boots don't fit right? I'm normally a Red Wing Pecos type of guy but would be willing to spend the money on some of these boots if I felt better about their return policy. |

Well I was going to say "this" but since they've gone down the "LC KING" road and abandoned the "Pointer" road, they've become more trendy yuppie hipster and their prices show it. I say this as someone that has or had a ton of their jeans, overalls, and even shirts. Long term, IMHO, their pursuit of the man bun crowd is going to hurt them. Badly. Especially if/as the economy tanks. But WTF do I know? I'm not trying to keep an long time clothing manufacturer alive and well in the current USA. That's a tough roe to hoe.
