About jeans… Jeans are trousers made from denim or dungaree cloth. Often the term "jeans" refers to a particular style of trousers called "blue jeans" and invented by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss in 1873 . Starting in the 1850s , jeans, originally designed for cowboys, became popular among teenagers. Jeans were first designed as durable trousers for farmworkers and miners in the states of the American west . Although Davis knew that he had a great product which many people wanted to buy, he didn’t have the money to patent it. He asked Levi Strauss, who supplied him with cloth, to help him out . The two worked together and started making jeans out of denim, which was more comfortable and easy to wear .

Jeans is a huge trend in nowadays as its very comfortable, durable and preferred by many people not considering the age bar . Thus manufacturing of jeans is preferred as not many legal restrictions are imposed and has a mass and growing demand for them.

Features of our jeans

Usually, they are designed to be near navel height, but high waisted and low waisted which go south and north of your body are equally favorites. The most in-demand waistband is a contoured one in a stretchy material with spandex – this waistband is cut on a curve rather than as a straight line and does a great deal to make the waist look shapely.

Belt loops standard : 5 varies form 5 to 7 on a jeans leather labels faux leather patches as Leather metal buttons A metal button is used to close the top of the fly of the jeans. It is a no-sew one – a two part stud button.The lower section pushes up through a hole made in the waistband of the denim and the top button is then joined onto this.
