Jim Buckley – Founder and President of Buckley Denim and The Clothing Warehouse – highlights here
I met Jim Buckley when he won a Business Person of the Year award for the local Chamber. His business, The Clothing Warehouse, is an institution in Atlanta, and other parts of the south. After twenty years in the vintage business, Jim founded Buckley Denim to build the perfect pair of jeans, in America. WIth the best material and craftsmanship, he uses the same attention to detail that made these jeans a staple 100 years ago. To design the best jean, he set up a sewing factory with every machine used in the production of early jeans. Jim bought machines from China and Cambodia, and before long, he had 30 + sewing machines, cutters, and tools necessary to start producing perfect pair of blue jeans. Jim believes that “Buckley Denim jeans are the most comfortable, stylish and best fitting jeans on the market.”
