Dearborn Denim Jeans Made is the US - 10% Off Coupon for Dearborn Denim


Here is the link to SAVE 10% ON YOUR ORDER.

9.29.19 Update - I now have and wear four pair of Dearborn Denim jeans. I just recently ordered a pair of their black jeans, the first pair of black ones I bought I transformed into these with a spray bottle and some bleach:
Had some fun with these black jeans from Dearborn Denim
and some bleach in a spray bottle.
Anyway I now have blue, tan, and two pair of black jeans from Chicago. Could not be happier with them.


I like to buy things made in the US when ever it is possible. Is it going to change the world? Nah. Is it going to save American jobs - well, it sure can't hurt.
Like just about everyone else on Facebook, I had seen tons of ads for Dearborn Denim, a jean company in Chicago. One day I figured I might as well try a pair. Clicked on the link, read about the company, bought a pair of the Tailored Fit Dark Wash - they look like this:



They arrived a few days later and at first I was a bit put off because they were lighter in weight than my Levi's (made overseas) and my Duluth Trading Company Ballroom Jeans - the other pair of jeans made in the US I own. (I blogged about the Duluth Jeans: Click Here.)

In fairness, the Dearborn Denim jeans are made with some stretchy stuff in addition to just cotton, so of course they would be lighter. They are 78% cotton with some polyester and a wee bit of spandex.


For once in my life I read the label in something BEFORE I messed it up. The label suggested washing inside out and air drying. YIKES - not my style. I emailed the company and got an answer ROCKET FAST in which I was assured that I could dry my jeans without any big problems. I appreciated the fast response.

Anyway - in the past couple months I have worn these jeans between one and three days a week. Washed, dried and used the iron on them several times and I am one happy camper. They look great and having never owned a pair of jeans with a touch of poly/spandex, I must say the bit of stretch is greatly appreciated - especially when I wear them to work and get up and down from my chair 242 times a day. One day Julie and I went to a comedy show after work, so I had the jeans on from about 8:30 in the morning until we got home a little after 11pm. (Long day for me.) About 3/4 of the way through the comedy show, I realized how comfortable the jeans were. I felt like I didn't even have any pants on!

Best testimony I can give is that after giving Dearborn Denim a good, long test drive - today I ordered two more pair - some black ones and a pair of khaki ones. One more plus is the Full Disclosure from DD - when I went to order the black pair, there was  an "important message about black jeans" for me to click on before I ordered. DD was letting me know that they had used up all the black denim they could source in the US and were forced to use some from overseas - the pants were still sewed in Chicago, but the denim was from elsewhere. They gave me the option to not order them if that was not good with me. Cool stuff.

Last point - when I placed my order with DD - they gave me a link that YOU can use to save 10% on your first order. Not a bad deal. Here is the link to SAVE 10% ON YOUR ORDER.

Full disclosure - if you use the 10%, I get some points that work toward saving me some money on future purchases from Dearborn Denim.

Olive oil and lemon juice gallstone cleanse works!

May 29, 2011 - This post has been up since June 2008. I am amazed at the number of people who read it. There are several hundred page views every month. Please take the time to read the various comments after my post. In addition to some success stories, I have been diligent to put up comments from people who don't agree with my thinking and/or experience on this matter. My purpose in writing this was NOT to try to convince others to do what I did, but rather to share my experience. Anyway - since doing this I have not had any further issues with gallstones or pain (knock on wood, toss salt over my shoulder, etc. etc.). I am not trying to replace a visit to the doctor, just sharing what I did and inviting others to share their experience - even when it does not line up with mine. January 8, 2012 - the comments and readers keep coming. I thought I should mention one more thing. If you take the time to read all the comments you will find some variations on the recipe I followed. I...

A blog called SuperForest and saving seeds.

Don't cha love the interweb? You can find the coolest people out there. One day whilst surfing around I found a blog called Super Forest. What a great combination of uplifting stuff along with challenges to do better by our planet. Super Forest is very much behind the Millennium Seed Bank. What is that, says you? From Wikipedia: "The Millennium Seed Bank Project is an international conservation project coordinated by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew . Launched in the year 2000... its purpose is to provide an "insurance policy" against the extinction of plants in the wild by storing seeds for future use. The storage facilities consist of large underground frozen vaults preserving the world's largest collection of seeds.In April 2007 it banked its billionth seed, the Oxytenanthera abyssinica, a type of African bamboo." Anyway - the folks at Super Forest are raising awareness and raising funds to save one seed. Read about them here: http://www.superforest.org...

A review of Terro ant bait vs Raid - Terro wins big time.

Image
We always get some ants in the late spring/early summer at our house. It is an annual tradition. Usually they are around for a week or two and then they take off for parts unknown. This year they must have decided our house is a very, very, very fine house indeed. Found them in the sugar, they massed in the dishwasher, but when I poured out a few dozen of them along with my cereal one morning, I knew I had to draw a line in the sugar. Time to poison the little bastiges. On my weekly visit to the grocery store I was looking for ant killer and was trying to find a bottle of Terro liquid. The ONLY thing they stocked was the Raid Ant Bait thingies pictured here: Since I had no choice, I bought some. I bought two boxes of 4 and followed the instructions by putting them in the ant paths I could see. Put one under the sink, up by the sugars, in the cereal cupboard, one in the corner in the dishwasher (with just 2 of us in the house now we only run it every 4-5 days) and several alon...
