American jeans: brand jeans from America

The first jeans appeared in the middle of the XIX century. Their creator is considered to be the emigrant Levi Ostrich, who sewed the first pair of comfortable working trousers made of thick fabric.

After a few years, these pants were already popular, the style was slightly changed, and thick twill was used as a fabric.

The Levi’s trademark remained a monopolist until the sixties of the 20th century, until the Lee and Wrangler brands appeared. Since then, these three brands are very popular not only in the United States, but throughout the world.

These branded American jeans have a number of significant advantages compared with counterparts from other countries:

1. High wear resistance. Jeans retain their attractive appearance even after several years of socks and numerous washes.
2. Classic design. Due to the universal style, jeans are perfectly combined with clothes of different styles and look appropriate in any setting.
3. Relevance. Good quality jeans never go out of style.
4. Democratic value.

The most popular and popular brands of American jeans are Levi’s, Wrangler and Lee. Each of them has its own unique, incomparable design.

Jeans from Levi’s differ in classic style and traditional design. Wrangler models are designed for people with an active lifestyle. Lee's jeans are a flawless quality and durability.

Connoisseurs of real American quality would never trade brand jeans from the United States for jeans from other countries. But, if earlier the inscription “Made in U.S.A.” was the key to real American jeans, today this inscription can be found on clothes of the lowest quality. How to choose the original and not to fall for a fake?

The fact is that if the jeans contain the inscription “Made in China” or some other country, this does not mean at all that the jeans cannot be branded. They are simply made in different countries, where it is convenient.

Representative offices of American companies are in many countries of the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the brand jeans in the column "manufacturer" there is another producer country - no. This does not mean a fake.
