5 Tips For Buying High-Quality Jeans For Your Store

The Heavier Fabric, The Better

If they feel heavy, chances are they are made from strong and high-quality fibres. Besides being more durable, they will also feel more luxurious too. While for summer months, lightweight fabric is desirable, typically, if jeans are under 12 ounces, they may be of lower quality. The fabric weight can be determined by checking the detailed product description.

Quality Stitching Is Key

Another way to evaluate the quality of jeans is to look at the stitching around the jeans' hems, pockets, and side seams. It’s best to look for a heavy stitch that won't pull, split or unravel. If you spot double-stitching or chain-stitching, it is typically a good sign that some extra time and thought went into the construction of these jeans. However, that doesn’t mean that a single stitch won’t do the job as long as the thread is thick and durable.

How Far Will They Stretch

When looking for stretch denim jeans to stock at your store, it’s important to note the level of Lycra or Spandex in the overall material composition, as this will determine the quality. This is because, even though stretch denim is designed to stretch, it’s only meant to stretch a little bit, as realistically, you want the jeans to still hold their shape. As a general rule, the ideal amount of stretch materials is 1 per cent, with 2 per cent considered the maximum amount of Lycra or Spandex you’d like to find in a pair of jeans.
