Jean Shop: Custom finished jeans to order. Nice and long inseams. After a pair of jeans is purchase, the Jean Shop offers an insane variety of finishes such as color, distressed looks, crinkling, softening, different levels of stone washing, etc. This store is a go-to for the jean enthusiast and for the hard to fit. They also make a variety of leather jackets, shirts, and belts, also available in custom finishes. If that weren't enough, they carry a very innovative, hard to come by line of custom crafted shoes by Timberland Shoe Co., that look cool enough to be paired with the jeans and clothing surrounding them in the store.
