Store

Searching for a new pair of jeans? Now you have one more venue to find the perfect pair. This shop in West Edge/Downtown/Pioneer Square (depending on who you ask) is sure to draw those with bucks to burn on the hottest, best-fitting denim. The focus here is on style and hard-to-find brands for men and women. The hip décor is reason enough to go — you want to be seen shopping here. The enormous space features opposing exposed brick walls, wood and metal display cases, shimmery copper-colored concrete flooring, crystal chandeliers suspended from 15-foot high ceilings, and a 1954 Velocette Venom motorcycle in the window.

The trio of owners — Lex Petras, Ward Van Allen and Allison Cornia — is knowledgeable about the fit of the more than 20 denim lines in 65 styles the store stocks. "We can get you in and out pretty quick," says Petras. Some notable brands include Nudie, Odyn, Robin's and The Stronghold. The latter is a reincarnated old-school brand that boasts Charlie Chaplin as one of its original models. Prices for these of-the-moment jeans are $150-$750. Riveted also carries T's by Buddhist Punk, Zooey and others. T's range from $60-$120.
