Raw Denim is Back Like James T. Kirk Chilling on a Dope Jeans Planet

A resurgence is on the horizon, and it's as captivating as the return of the Jedi Order in the latest Star Wars trilogy.

Ok, those last Star Wars movies weren't all that captivating. It's more captivating than that.

Ya, that's it.
