Red Ear Selvedge (New)

These are a very nice pair of jeans from Paul Smith's supposedly Japanese Denim brand Red Ear. The irregular button fly must be the best feature of the jeans.

Most of the Red Ear clothing that I have seen in the past year has not been made in Japan. Instead, it was made in China and other countries. These jeans are not labelled where they were made. So I would assume that it is also "Made in China".

The list price of most Red Ear clothing is very high. They are marketed as if they are made in Japan, but they are not. I'm disappointed in the misleading marketing, and absurd prices which don't reflect the cheaper cost of manufacture.

Well, regardless of all that, these are very nice jeans, but I'm certainly glad that I got them on sale.
