Eric Yelsma is the founder of Detroit Denim Co. After having spent over 15 years in corporate America, Eric opted to get his hands calloused and dirty by starting a jeans manufacturing business in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit. Using only US-sourced materials, Detroit Denim focuses on traditionally styled jeans and accessories that are
designed and crafted to be worn often and hard. After starting the manufacturing business Eric discovered an unmet need for denim retail in the city and developed a retail shop in the front of the manufacturing space. Detroit Denim focuses on providing an educational experience which connects the customer to the product and process. Despite being an excellent stitcher, Eric now spends most of his time on creative development and handling day-to-day administrative tasks.
