This is big 👀

A bold vision, countless lessons learned, and an unforgettable event on the horizon in 2025. Join us on the journey.

“You’re doing what?!”

At BZRO Clothing, we’re all about telling the stories that matter—through our clothes, our fabric, and the way we work. That’s why we’re beyond excited to dive into this new project, which was made possible by the Artists Creative Fund. 

David is making the first-ever locally-made denim in Tulsa, OK, and turning it into a jacket.

He’s learning to weave hand-dyed indigo denim right here in Tulsa, but this isn’t just any denim.

The Real Story Behind Denim

Denim has deep roots with a storied and controversial past. This textile’s history goes way beyond the neat, oversimplified version we’ve all heard. It’s global. It’s layered. It’s complex. From the Mesoamericans who mastered indigo dyeing thousands of years ago to the enslaved Africans whose knowledge shaped the U.S. textile industry, denim is a fabric with a past as rich as the blue it’s known for. David is digging deep into this history, researching the untold stories that deserve to be heard. And now, we’re weaving those stories into this one-of-a-kind fabric itself.

👀 Peek inside the workshop

Hand-dyed Indigo

Our indigo comes straight from El Salvador, a nod to David’s Salvadoran roots and our brand’s commitment to eco-friendly fashion practices. The leaves of the indigo plant give denim its deep, rich color—something you can’t get with synthetic dyes. After 32 dips (yes, by hand) in the dye vat, the yarns come alive. Plus, it’s non-toxic, unlike synthetic dyes and fabric materials.

Weaving by Hand: The Process

This isn’t just about making fabric—it’s about crafting a story. We’re using a traditional floor loom, weaving a warp-faced 3/1 twill that’s strong, durable, and packed with character. Every thread is placed with purpose, and every inch of fabric is a step forward in this journey. David’s been experimenting with techniques to get the right balance of durability and softness. A denim that’s perfect for workwear but softer than a kitten.

Save the Date: The unveiling

On Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. we'll unveil this handwoven denim in a pop-up museum and shop event right here in Tulsa! You’ll be able to see the fabric up close, hear David talk about his journey, and grab some exclusive BZRO Clothing pieces made from this one-of-a-kind fabric. Sign up for our newsletter to hear the latest updates!

Oh, and…

This is just the beginning. Our dream is to bring back the heart of American-made denim—fabric that’s sustainable, crafted with care, and rich in history. At BZRO Clothing, we’re weaving the future, one thread at a time, and we are excited for you to be a part of this journey.
