Raw denim in Santa Barbara

Looking for raw denim in Santa Barbara, CA.

I tore my favorite pair of APC Petit Standards while on holiday here in Santa Barbara. I am not from here, and am wondering if there's a place to shop for men's raw denim nearby. If there are no options here, we will be spending a few days in L.A. after Christmas.

Best answer: Not a direct answer, but I can't recommend Self Edge in LA enough. I can go on and on about how excellent their customer service is, but can't really do so without sounding like a shill ... if it is possible to fall in love with a retail outlet, then they're the one.

Just a polite suggestion/recommendation to check out 3sixteen's jeans while you're at Self Edge. You'll probably like them a lot. I love mine and these guys seem to agree.

Blue Bee. They even have a men's only store.

Response by poster: My girlfriend also mentioned Blue Bee. Unfortunately, it looks like they have gone out of business.

I think we will be making a trip to Self Edge. I am intrigued by the 3sixteen brand--my main gripe with APC is the stitching wearing out.
