Jeans
The AG Adriano Goldschmied
brand, founded in 2000, partnered long-time denim guru, Adriano
Goldschmied, and the industry leader in quality and innovative
jean manufacturing, Yul Ku, of Koos Manufacturing in South Gate,
CA.
After
many years of starting up new brands and creating new ways to
replicate vintage jeans, it was time for Adriano to launch the
definitive line that would truly represent his longtime vision.
He found the ability to do this by partnering up with Koos Manufacturing.
Founder Yul Ku was a second-generation jeans maker. After coming
to the United States in 1975, Mr. Ku opened his first manufacturing
plant with his family in Los Angeles. Shortly afterwards he struck
out on his own, initially manufacturing for Calvin Klein Jeans.
Over the next 20 years Koos Manufacturing has produced jeans for
Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, J. Crew, A/X Armani Exchange, Polo
Ralph Lauren and Lucky Brand, to name a few, all the while keeping
high quality, integrity and honesty at the forefront.
Over
time, Mr. Ku realized that while he enjoyed manufacturing immensely,
the idea of developing his own brand continually beckoned. When
Adriano approached him in the spring of 1999 the opportunity presented
itself. Starting out as a small boutique line the first couple
of years, AG has grown steadily the last four years, doubling
its sales in each of the past three years.
In
the fall of 2004, Adriano and Mr. Ku mutually decided to end their
association, and Adriano left his namesake company to venture
out on his own. Mr. Ku, seeing the opportunity to expand upon
the AG brand, decided to create a team of innovative and young
designers and merchandisers, who would work together in a think
tank type of environment. The AG team is dedicated to continued
development of the brand with the utmost attention to detail and
quality, and a commitment to the made in the U.S.A. label.
Today,
AG Adriano Goldschmied continues to grow with the addition of
retail stores, and our expansion of new distribution networks
throughout Canada, Asia and Western Europe.

What's an Entourage without denim?
The stars of HBO's series about making it big in Hollywood,
Jeremy Piven, left, Kevin Connolly, Perrey Reeves (Mrs. Art)
and Adrian Grenler, took a break from shooting the third season
for the GQ launch of a new premium denim line, AG for Entourage,
held at the Adriano Goldschmeid boutiqe on Robertson Boulevard.
The kids have work AG on the show from the get-go but sported
the new Entourage styles for the March 15 bash. There is no
flashy logo, just the show's insignia, a star-inside a circle
on the button of men's and women's jeans. Rox Lee , who plays
Ari Gold's assistanct showed off his rear view. If you can't
afford $175 jeans, try a vintage wash Entourage like Kevin Dillon's
amusing "Viking Quest" style or the T-shirt advertising
Ari's new venture, Miller Gold Agency.
