      • Cheap Monday first hit the scene when they marketed their punk-rock style jeans in 2004. The company became popular as a denim label known for its skull logo with an upside down cross. Within the past few years they've expanded to a full line of high-end apparel yet have still kept their low prices. Available to both men and women.
      • The Look

        Cheap Monday apparel is made of quality fabrics and high end designs. Cheap Mondays most popular article is their fashionable, stylish jeans. Not only for their classic hight waisted tapered legs but for their reasonable pricing. Cheap Monday also carries tank tops, hoodies, jackets and vintage inspired T-shirts.

      • Controversy

        Cheap Monday has ran into some controversy with its use of the upside down cross on the forehead of the skull logo. Many outlets have banned the sale of articles that include the logo stating that the company is sending out a antiestablishment vibe.
      • Comment

        Cheap Monday say it’s more of a joke, but Bjorn Atldax, the logo’s designer said there is a deeper message. It is an active statement against Christianity, I’m not a Satanist myself, but I have a great dislike for organized religion. -Associated Press

      WHAT'S SO UNIQUE ABOUT DRY RAW DENIM.

      FAQs!

      WHAT IS THE TECHNICAL DEFINITION OF DRY DENIM?

      Dry or Raw denim is denim fabric that is not washed during the production phase, after the color treatment process. Unlike most denim, the makers of Dry or Raw Denim allow this process to happen in a natural aging cycle of the denim fabric itself, instead of speeding it up to creating a “desirable” purchase look.

      WHY WOULD I WANT TO BUY DRY DENIM?

      Most people who are dry denim enthusiasts feel that these jeans are truly a pair of jeans that are going to be fit and worn to your specific body. Because Dry Denim is not going to have wear to it when you first receive them, the denim will then only be affected by your daily life, by your activities, by your unique set of experiences, making each mark, line and even tear, authentic to not only the brand, but to you.
