  • Shank Button
  • Rope Stitch
  • Chain Hem

Sourced: Jackson, MS, 2025

The Big E 501 listed above? The last one we had sold in 4 minutes and 18 seconds to a Club member who had set a sourcing request 3 months earlier. By the time it went public, it was gone.

"I've been hunting a 32×34 Cowboy Cut for two years. Submitted a sourcing request in January. They found one in March. $185 and it fits like it was made for me."

"The early access alone is worth it. I've bought four pairs in six months that I would have missed if I'd waited for the public drop."
