Damn Good Denim
3 former Under Armour employees used decades of sportswear expertise to create $75 performance denim.
Henry Stafford is one smart man. Using everything he learned while holding down a powerful job at Under Armour, he and 3 partners launched Revtown, a denim company that is taking the mens jean world by storm. Under Armour employees create $75 performance denim in a year.
Deciding that jeans didn’t need to be expensive to be awesome, they created their own denim fabric in Italy to set themselves apart from competitors. Henry talks a lot about their marketing as they only sell on their own website. No discounts ever, not even to staff, is one of their models.

They realized quickly that they needed to time their rollouts according to seasons. Henry said they take this part of their marketing very seriously. Jeans are pretty much a year round item, but not a huge seller in hotter months. The Revtown partners consider many different things now when launching a new item. Hopefully they will be the next FUBU!
Henry Stafford has been in the Product and marketing space for over 20 years with long stints at Under Armour, American Eagle, Old Navy and Abercrombie.
Henry was Under Armour’s former chief merchandising officer and help Under Armour grow from $800M to $5 billion over 6 years. His partner Steve Battista was a former senior vice president of creative at Under Armour, and Matt Maasdam, was the former head of the Under Armour’s e-commerce unit. Their fourth partner, Chris Lust, comes from the hedge fund world and is now the CEO and is the one who keeps them all in line!
The three of them set out to create quality denim, straightforward fits, and unbeatable comfort — and it’s clear they’ve achieved just that with Revtown.

“With just one little tweak of Sarah’s expertise, I amplified the results of this new launch by 600%. Just this one tweak, about how I was sequencing things and some of the communication I was doing with my list, dramatically changed my launch and I enrolled more participants and made more money. I had already put in hours developing this launch and this one tweak, this one piece of expertise made all the difference. Sarah is the real deal, she has mastered online sales and communication, and … Read more

I wanted to say thank you again to you for helping me connect with the Notanonymous showroom in NYC. I exhibited for the first time at the Accessorie Circuit show and have picked up lots of new accounts including six of the W Hotels. My sales are up over 30%. Thank you for all of the useful information that you constantly share!

Your program is already helping me sooo much.. and I finally feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. and it’s not a train. I know there will be lots of hours, lots of work, lots of rejection.. but at least now, I have a play book to follow. 🙂 I wish I had met you a long time ago.. I would have saved so much wasted money.

“In just one hour on the phone, Sarah gave me clarity in my pricing and bottom line… Our new product went off without a hitch. Thank you, Sarah!”

I LOVE working with Sarah! The best business decision I’ve made recently is joining Sarah’s Retail Revolution program to learn how to gain exposure and grow revenue for my handmade business, Shawn Sargent Designs. Sarah is that guiding and supportive voice in your head – and literally on the calls every week, which is an invaluable part of the program. Within three months of working with her, her expertise helped me land Real Simple’s Holiday issue as my first magazine feature, which provided a … Read more

Sarah Shaw is like Google, the entire How To section of Barnes and Nobles, Consumer Report and Yoda all wrapped up into one of the sweetest, most generous people you’ll ever meet. And I’m talking about stuff she doesn’t even claim to be an expert on. If you’re looking for someone to help you launch your business , you’d be a complete ding dong not to get coaching from her because I promise you, one minute with Sarah Shaw would be worth hours of some other “expert’s” time.… Read more

I wanted to share the importance of persistence, as you always say! I pitched another item to this writer Aug 1 and explained the benefits of alpaca fleece and a month later she reached out asking for a sample of the pants she ended up highlighting and writing about a week later! As always, thanks for the support! Check out Daph’s Post in FORBES!

I’m already getting orders from the email with the updated pricing that I just sent to my current stores. One day I’m gonna fly wherever you are and buy you a big glass of wine and hug you. Truly blessed that I stumbled upon your site that day. I know I pay you to help me but you’ve done so much for me and are worth every penny if not more.

Sarah is exactly what I have been looking for to take my business to the next level. She brings a ton of experience to the table and saves time, money and headaches with her plethora of resources. I’ve had my business for 14 years and I’ve always felt like I was missing pieces for wholesale growth and online growth. Sarah filled that gap in more ways than I could have imagined. Our wholesale quadrupled in the first month of implementing her wholesale practices. We are just getting started and… Read more

Sarah has always been so knowledgeable and has helped me so much in growing my business and getting my Daybooks out into the world. She most recently helped me prepare for the NY Now Gift Show which turned out to be a great opportunity to gain more exposure and make connections that I know will help me take my business to the next level. She is the real deal. She knows her stuff and is so dedicated to supporting women in business.
