ROGAN JEANS: THE UNOFFICIAL FAQ

This is ridiculous, but it needed to be done. Here I present to you: the Rogan Jeans FAQ. I do this not of my freewill, but because evvvveerrrrrryone keeps asking me about these jeans. Like I know anything, but here you go...

What's so great about these jeans?

I have no idea, to be honest, since I haven't tried them on and I've seen few pictures. I'll quote from an article in the June 2003 Vogue: "Jeans feature triple-needle stitching and four-piece waistbands 'to give them more of a fifties feel.'" They seem to run at about the $200 range. I've seen a regular trouser style and a cargo pant style.

Who designs these jeans?

A fellow named Rogan Gregory, who is in business with two fellows named Scott Haan and Kevin Ryan. Mr. Gregory likes to surf, apparently.

Does Rogan have a website?

CORRECTION! Yes, they do, as a fine reader wrote in and told me: http://www.rogannyc.com/index.php. So you can stop reading and go there!

Where do they sell Rogans?

This is definitely a New York thing: it's at Barneys Co-op and, last I've heard, Atrium and Alife and DDC Lab. They sell out quickly, from what I hear.

Why are these so hot now?

Because no one has them but everyone's read about them. And because all the models are wearing them, duh, and we all know about that secret fashion cabal where models meet, smoke and make up crazy stuff for us mere mortals to wear...

How do they fit?

The only definite report I hear is from a self-described "short, skinny" girl, who found them too loose in the hip and rear. Models seem to like them, so maybe they work for those tall, skinny girls.

And this is really all I know about these jeans.
