Women's jeans made in America

Often, US jeans sizes are designated using the letters W and L, which also corresponds to European sizes. But sometimes in the USA they use other markings, for example, the letters: XL, M, L, S, XS. The letters are abbreviations for the English words small - small, large - large and medium - average. There are also markings using numbers: from 0 to 20.

The prefix X stands for the word extra (“very”). Therefore XS is the smallest size and XL is the largest. Also, some American manufacturers use numbers from 1 to 9 to indicate sizes corresponding to the XS-XL marking.

Common mistakes when choosing

In addition to the fact that you can make a mistake with the size, there are several other common mistakes when choosing jeans:

• fabric composition - in denim, the permissible elastane limit ranges from 4-5%, otherwise the jeans will stretch very quickly, lose their shape, and the knees will sag. Recommended content - 2%. If you purchase a stretch model with a narrow cut, it is better to buy jeans one size smaller, very soon they will stretch to a comfortable level. Otherwise, in half a month they will be dangling from their owner;
• accessories - it is not recommended to purchase something with sparkles, rivets, or embroidery. All this is good in adolescence, but after that it brings an element of cheapness;
• size - we are talking about deliberate underestimation. How to choose jeans size? When choosing a product made from real cotton, you should not choose trousers that are difficult to put on. They will not stretch and may chafe;
• price - a cheap pair cannot be of high quality. It won't last long and looks bad.

It happens that not all manufacturers sew clothes according to established standards. In this case, it is best to focus on the parameters indicated on the website. As you know, many clothes from China run small, so it’s difficult to rely on the usual format here.

Jeans fever in the Soviet Union

Jeans fever in the Soviet Union began in 1957 during a youth festival in Moscow.

The first to bring jeans to the Union were pilots, diplomats, and sailors. The presence of denim clothing was a symbol of “coolness” and bohemianism. Then began the massive import of products by foreign tourists, who sold them to resellers or black marketeers.

Clandestine workshops were formed where counterfeit Wrangler, Lee, and Levis were produced, which were sold with stunning success and at an incredible price. The price for the fake was equal to the monthly salary of an ordinary Soviet engineer. Everyone who was involved in underground trade was tried under articles of “speculation” or “currency transactions.” The sentences were awarded depending on the charges.

Currently, denim clothing is preferred by men of all ages. The shelves in stores are filled with jeans, the price and model range is varied. Well, the homeland of jeans is the USA, where they are produced, observing all the centuries-old traditions, norms, standards and patterns.

How to determine your jeans size

To correctly determine the size of men's or women's jeans, you need to measure the waist circumference and leg length. But it is often very difficult to understand how to measure this very trouser leg and not make a mistake. Therefore, in addition to your waist circumference, you need to measure your height and then, using the tables above, you can find out your jeans size.

Dear readers! If you have any questions about choosing a size or have a misunderstanding about how to use the tables, please do not hesitate to write in the comments! We will answer any of your questions as quickly as possible!

What are they needed for

Dimensions help customers navigate the variety of available lines. And if clothing for the upper body can be varied (for example, take more to make it oversize), then with jeans for men this is impossible. You need to have a clear idea of ​​your parameters.

Centimeter

Knowing your trouser size is useful because... it may vary for upper body clothing (be smaller or larger). And this even applies to women. If you know specific volumes in centimeters, you can buy the product without looking on the Internet or without trying it on in person in a store. Large online trading platforms that sell things usually also write centimeter measurements. After all, manufacturers have sizes m.b. marked in a standard way, but at the same time run small or large. You need to look at the details on the size chart and check with your parameters. If the purchase is made in person in a store without trying on, then you can choose jeans, armed in advance with measurements and a sewing centimeter. For example, when shopping without a man present.
