Raleigh Denim Workshop + Curatory

It's my fault for gambling on their "Sample sale roulette" but I expected a better product from Raleigh. I received a plaid button down shirt for my wife for $50 that was listed at $245 originally according to the tag. It was paper thin and barely fits compared to the medium she wears. The $25 tank was a very strange cut and won't work at all either. And then to no ones fault but my own, was expecting a pair of denim jeans when I chose from the jeans category and received 2 pairs of corduroy pants full of wrinkles and marks on them. Was sent the wrong size so the customer support was helpful to provide a packing label and told me they'd replace them with the exact pairs in the correct size. So I guess you get what you get.. can't complain or return anything but for some reason I expected a better product from Raleigh. So I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth and won't be able to return to them to buy anything new. At the very least I strongly discourage anyone from doing the sample roulette sale. Maybe its better for men's items though..

Just picked up two more pairs of jeans last week. They still had the style I liked (although I wish there were more color selections, but I'll just have to check back in a few months when they do their next season) and I was in and out quickly. Love that they take care of the alterations there so I don't have to make another trip to my seamstress.

Have always wanted to get a pair of raw denim jeans but just felt there was too much I didn't understand to try to purchase them online. Happened to be staying at an airbnb across the street from this place when recently visiting North Carolina and decided to go in. And ended up finally purchasing my first pair. Honestly, the staff was SO helpful. They must have spent over an hour with me, while I was pretty open about the fact that I had no idea whether or not I was actually going to buy anything. But because of how informed I felt after that hour I did end up getting a pair. Because I was from out of state they took my measurements, hemmed it, and I had it back at my house inside of a week. Definitely will be buying more pieces from them in the future.

These are the best fitting jeans I own, and super high quality. I will be buying another pair.

Raleigh Denim Workshop worked their way into my Instagram feed and I've been following for a while now. I live four hours from Raleigh and ended up in the Curatory during a work trip. Can't say enough good things about the shop, the service (wish I'd have gotten the staff member's name) and of course, the jeans. I left with two pairs and I never thought I'd say this but, I will drive 4 hours to get my next pairs.

I have worn Raleigh Denim for years, but I never had the opportunity until a few weeks ago to shop at the Curatory. I was able to finally buy a pair of jeans I have had my eye on for some years, and it was 100% worth it to try on in person as I would have completely missed proper sizing. I will continue to wear my Raleigh Denim jeans for years to come, but it won't be soon enough for me to shop in person!

Customer service was excellent. The jeans feel good, look good, and fit just right. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next pair when I’m ready.

I spent $1100 plus the package protection option, I am still out $550 dollars, returned both pair and received only a $550 credit card adjustment. Yes one pair was washed but the pattern cut on this Cone Mills run was 1 to 1 1/2 inches shorter thsn they normally do. Customer service is at best a joke here. Horrible, Cone Mills Alexander cut 1 1/2 inches shorter. Did not realize until you wash and then you have pants that are to short. Stand on them and pull was the response Syd supplied. Really with a $550 pair of jeans. At first I let this slide, but the more I thought about it the madder I get. When they cut these pants for some reason they are 1 1/2 inches shorter than Nihon Menpu Alexander. You can see the new Cone Mills are the same as the washed Nihon Menpu, and the top pair washed cone mills are 1 1/2 inches shorter than washed Nihon Menpu and new Cone Mills. The response from Raliegh was they resolved the issue, yes with one pair they did refund. Second pair they did not. I washed the other pair before realizing the length difference. I sent this pair, actually both pair back on my nickel. At $550 a pair, give me a break. The Cone Mills has been a mess. This place is the worst in my opinion, don’t waste your time with customer service, which honestly doesn’t exist. The made in the good ole USA slogan isn’t enough to warrant the frustration. The Cone Mills run at $550 per pair was 1 to 1/12 inches shorter than their standard Alexander Nihon Menpu, but stated they were the same length. Now lets get into quality of this product, really. Check out the second picture. I’ll post their email response. They finally took them back and said it was a defect. The material was puffed out and looked awful. I can see all the layers, but my other ones did not have this issue. Customer service is a joke at this denim shop. You decide for yourself, look at my pictures. For this kind of money. If you can get a decent pair from Raliegh the jeans are nice. But consistrncy is just not there, along with poor customer service. It is not worth the frustration dealing with customer service. They are super slow to respond. Hi Roger, We understand your concern, but we want to assure you that this isn't an error. Both the presser foot and needle on this outer/middle seam have to go through 6 layers of tightly folded already-felled seams. You will notice that the felled seams on either side of the middle seam line up, and the top seam sometimes just can't remain 100% straight when running through the machine. This slight curve is present in a number of our jeans, and it is simply the human hand as these were not constructed using automated techniques. You may also notice this effect less in modern jeans as they are a lighter weight, usually not 100% cotton, and can therefore slip under the needle very easily. I hope this information helps! Take care, Syd
