To say that everyone's wardrobe in the most indispensable clothing, jeans are absolutely on the list! Speaking of jeans, there is still a history. Let's have a look.
In the late 1850s, Levi Strauss, a Bavarian American cloth merchant, came to San Francisco in the United States. He saw that many gold miners wearing cotton trousers were easy to wear out. So he made trousers with low waist, straight legs and tight hips with his thick canvas, which was very popular with gold miners. Later, cowboys also fell in love with the pants made of canvas, which gradually became popular. The denim was then replaced with denim.
In 1871, Levi Strauss patented his jeans and officially established Levi's company. Later, tailor Jacob Davis proposed to Levi Strauss to add "rivets" to prevent loose stitches and enhance the durability of jeans. This makes jeans the most common pants in the world and can be seen everywhere.
Everyone likes jeans, but do you choose jeans? Here are four tips for you to choose the right pants.
1. Select Size
Grasp the two ends of the trousers waist with both hands and put them around the neck. If the two ends meet easily at the back of the neck, it means that you can wear this size. The two ends of the pants may not need to touch each other accurately, but at least wrap your neck.
2. Measure the width
Clench your fist, bend your elbow, and tuck your lower arm into the zippered waistband, but this may only apply to jeans with normal waist height, not high waist jeans.
3. Measuring length
Grab the bottom of the jeans with both hands and open them to both sides. If the pants stop is right at your chin, the length is OK!
4. Measure the tightness
If you want to know if the trousers of these jeans will be too tight and whether it is convenient to put them on and off, you can clench your fist and put your hands into the trousers. If it is too careful, it will be very difficult to put your legs into them!

Basic knowledge of jeans
1. How many aspects do you usually check the quality of a pair of jeans?
The quality of jeans by people mainly refers to their internal quality, which is usually irrelevant to the brand and style. The inner quality of a pair of jeans is mainly composed of fabric quality, pattern design, turning quality, washing water quality and accessories quality. Whether a pair of jeans is high-grade or not, in addition to the exquisite workmanship and good shape design, the quality of fabric and washing water almost determines the grade of the whole pair of pants.
2. Why say wholesale market take goods price below 30 yuan of product, basically be fake inferior goods?
The cost of a pair of jeans is mainly composed of fabric cost, processing cost, auxiliary material cost, washing water cost, circulation cost and merchant profit. Among these costs, the fabric is the most easy to be fake. In the textile and clothing industry, anyone who has a little knowledge of the cotton and yarn prices will know how much fabric a pair of jeans will consume, and the weight of this part of the fabric. Therefore, it is easy to calculate the fabric cost of a pair of jeans, and it is easy to conclude that if there is no adulteration, it is absolutely impossible Can make such a low price finished products.
3. What are the main means of fabric adulteration in the market?
There are usually raw material adulteration and tissue adulteration. Raw material adulteration mainly refers to replacing cotton with chemical fiber with relatively low price, and spinning yarn with low-quality raw materials such as noil and recycled cotton (equivalent to waste paper recycling in paper industry) which seriously affects human health. When dyed in dark color, the consumption can not be distinguished. The 10 ring spun slub yarn with better quality on the market usually costs 23000 yuan / ton, but the yarn made from recycled cotton is only a few thousand yuan / ton, and the price difference is amazing.
The use of poor quality spandex in elastic fabric results in no elasticity after several times of washing. At the same time, the price of dyes used for yarn dyeing also varies greatly. Fabrics with poor quality are usually dyed with the cheapest dyes. Tissue adulteration means that some fabrics look like qualified fabrics, but the organization is obviously sparse, and the fabric style is far inferior to the qualified products, that is, cutting corners. In addition, the fabric with poor quality is usually woven from obsolete machines (the price is only less than one tenth of that of the imported new loom). Due to the limitation of equipment, the woven fabric is not only simple in organization, but also has poor fabric style and has a lot of idiosyncrasies.
4. What is the concept of pattern (pants type)?
Generally speaking, it refers to the data and parameters of all the cutting pieces of a pair of jeans when placing the pattern. The style and quality of pattern design directly affects the wearing comfort and aesthetic feeling of a pair of jeans. It's often confused with a lot of styles.
5. What principles should consumers follow when buying jeans?
First of all, you have to choose the type. The pattern is not suitable for you. No matter how good the jeans are in other aspects, you should not buy them. Good fit for their own version, should be put on, the whole body is comfortable, there is no sense of Le, girls hip and leg curve can reflect perfect, do not have discordant loose phenomenon. After the version and size are in line with your own, you can look at the fabric texture, washing water quality and turning quality, and then check the quality of accessories such as zipper, and then see if there is a style you like in the product. Finally, considering the price factors, you can consider whether to buy it.
