alejandc··on Show HN: The Warby Parker of Men’s Jeans
Eric, im glad you and your wife love the fit! We pride ourselves in having developed great fits.

Those are great questions. The traditional denim colors will always move the majority of the volume, but I do think taste is evolving, and with that you see new colors being added each season. Take a look at our latest addition, the Waverly's (http://www.mottandbow.com/straight-waverly-2-month.html). These are a deep blue indigo color, a bit non traditional but always clean.

I think Levis has done a great job (they have reached ubiquity in denim). The cool part of our proposition is that we are offering designer denim (usually offered at +$200 because of the superior material and handcraft that goes into it) at half the price by going direct to consumer instead of the traditional model (where prices reach 8x what they cost to make).

Thanks for the detailed response! Will work on getting more traction so we can expand the size offering!

Hi Anjin, a few differences from BM:

1- We are bringing the denim from one of the top denim mills in the world. 2- Our home try-on is for sizing on the same item (you get two different sizes of the same style), not trying to cross sell items.

We don't have plans for boot cut at the time... we've seen the market move away from that cut little by little.

Good point. Will add model specs in the next postings.

We just started out a few months ago so we purposefully limited the SKU count, but will be adding 30 inseam for some of the styles that come out next year.

Thats great to hear Nate! We will keep on working hard to expand the line!

Thanks Jerry! The home try-on is currently for help with sizing (as a lot of guys are between waist sizes depending on the brand). It seems like a good idea to offer it so guys can checkout different styles. Will look into it.

What fit do you usually wear in Levis? When we started out a few months ago we offered size 27 on skinny fit but there was no demand for that size, so we decided to start the next styles in size 28.

The only style we currently have a size 27 is this one http://www.mottandbow.com/skinny/skinny-bleecker-resin-rinse...

I would love to offer more sizes but we have to find the demand for those. Any clue how we can reach that smaller waist size demographic?

Thats great to hear! Will look into having a subscription offer in the near future.

Would love answering any questions you guys might have. Feedback is welcome and appreciated! Started this a few months back as I could not find a premium pair of jeans for $100.
