Oh, I see that. Yeah, so that's a representation that it's been washed and dried. For a pair of jeans that's raw denim, I know there's like the wife's tale of, you know, you can't really wash it, you have to throw it in the freezer. Denim expert, like, what are the truths behind raw denim?
How can you wash them? This jean, you shouldn't wash. You should wear it in as long as you can, so that it breaks into your body. The true denim purists actually don't wash it and they put it in the freezer. So it is true. It is a wife's tale. I hear it doesn't do anything. If you actually get to the washing point, then you would just wash it inside-out on cold and hang dry it, don't put it in the dryer. For all of those reasons, I'm gonna bet that this is a more expensive jean.
Here goes. All right, let's take a look at the other one. I'm gonna guess this one is a little bit more affordable. Let's take a look. Let's see. All right, it's not a bad price. It's pretty much half the price, about. This is kind of, like, your high-end experience. Your purist jean, yes. With all that in mind, let's talk about your jeans.
What have you learned? Okay, I feel like I've learned a lot. The first thing that comes to mind is, ta-dah. Just like that jean. Also, there's no elasticity.
I don't have any give in it, so I'm gonna go with raw, no elasticity. From there, I would say the next thing is it's heavy. I feel every step I'm taking. So again, I'm going to zone as opposed to the 80 zone. Looks like it. And then last but not least, just like the wash, there is no gradient of color at the very end.
It looks raw. For all those reasons, I'm gonna go more towards the luxury, high-end side. What do you think? How do you feel? I'm with you. I think so. All right. The big reveal. That is up there, yeah. So I think some of that comes from obviously selvage. A lot of it is the style detail also. And the cuffs. The cuff is reversed. That's probably Japanese denim. No wash, so it's rigid. A nice, heavy weight. I mean, I have both. The expensive selvage, rigid jeans and then I've got the casual ones that I wear on the weekend.
So the first thing that I look at with a boyfriend jean is the overall construction. A really good way to tell if something is better quality is if you look at actually the stitch detailing. So if you really look close here, there's a lot of start-stop. Oh yeah, I see that it's kinda, like, bunching over each other. Yeah, the threads haven't been trimmed, you know.
Under the belt loops, there's loose threads everywhere. So you can kind of tell the quality isn't the best on this one. So it's not as polished. It's not as polished. And if you move over to this one, despite all of the destruction, you still see that the quality of stitching is really nice.
The construction is there. You know, all the little details, all the trimming. You know, it really looks like a great finished jean. The next thing that I look at that is an easy one for you to look at at the store is stitches per inch or SPI is what we call it.
The easy way is to bring a ruler with you. And you could actually count the stitches per inch. The more stitches per inch, the higher quality, basically. It will last longer, it takes longer to sew.
It's tighter. This has eight stitches per inch versus this, if you look over here, it's less. It's definitely bigger. It's wider. So this was quicker. They ran it through the sewing machine a lot faster. The next thing that I would look at is the overall process or wash of the jean and that makes up a lot of a boyfriend. Just immediately, this one, to me, looks more lux because there's more process to it.
But the single most frequent gripe among denim-laden ladies is this: Why does a good pair of jeans cost so dang much?! That means you're getting higher-quality denim fabrics, technological innovations, and a better overall fit. Ahmed is, of course, biased, but she says it is. So how do you know if the jeans you're eyeing are up to snuff? You can do this by looking at the care tags on your jeans. Look for mostly cotton 95 to 98 percent with a little Spandex or elastane for that comfortable, forgiving fit.
Amri Kibbler, a former fashion editor and the founder Heymama , a community for creative mothers, many of whom live in their denim, estimates her jeans collection at almost 30 pairs.
Everything looks better there," she warns. The biggest trend Slowey says to avoid is relying too much on belts. It's not about putting a belt on your jeans this season.
