Whether you’re looking for women’s jeans or men’s jeans, there are certain qualities to look for to ensure you get the best fit and quality.
Fair and even fading will give your jeans a more authentic look. Fading is the natural and gradual wearing away of color from either the waistband, pockets, or seat as you wear them
The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother your jeans will feel on your skin. One way to determine how many threads are in a square inch of fabric is to measure it with a thread count tool (available at any sewing store). The higher the number, then the better quality fabric it is – think silk or cashmere fabrics versus cotton ones. Anything beyond 500 is an absolute luxury.
