Is it worth it to overpay: compare expensive Levi's jeans with the usual Gloria Jeans

Levi's jeans have long been classics in the fashion world. They are known for their high quality at an appropriate cost. But what is meant by this "high quality" and is it worth that kind of money? Or can one find more budgetary alternatives, for example, from Gloria Jeans, a company popular in Russia?

Why are Levi's jeans considered prestigious and status?

First of all, they are famous for their versatility: in the product line are models for all types of figures, they all have the same size range. This means that they can be ordered over the Internet without fear of making a mistake with the size.

In addition, Levi's jeans have:

  • long term socks;
  • resistance to abrasion;
  • impeccable tailoring - in their production the strongest semi-synthetic threads are used, and the inner seams are neatly processed with an overlock;
  • convenience and comfort.

They are distinguished by the ability not only not to wear out for a long time, but also to maintain their shape: they do not stretch and do not begin to subside even after a long wear, numerous washing and ironing.

Model 501 is especially popular among buyers. It is made of 100% cotton and is famous for its stiff fabric, which eventually adjusts to all the nuances of the figure and becomes like a “second skin”. Moreover, the longer it is worn, the better it sits.

Reference! To achieve this effect when trying on jeans should fit tightly, while it should seem that they are slightly small. After some time, the feeling of discomfort will go away, and the jeans will sit perfectly.

Also, consumers are pleased with the wide range of Levi's models: it contains tight jeans, both narrow and wide, and baggy, with zippers and buttons. However, the color scheme is modest and gravitates to the classics: blue, black and blue. In addition, the jeans of this company are not suitable for lovers of drawings and jewelry.

Accordingly, if we talk about the shortcomings, then they most often include boring design and high prices, despite the fact that the average cost of such jeans is actually 600 rubles. In addition, it is very easy to run into a lower-quality fake, so you should familiarize yourself with the distinguishing features of the original branded items before buying.

As for the cheaper options from the company "Gloria Jeans", they combine the following advantages:

  • color fastness;
  • hygroscopicity, providing maximum comfort when wearing;
  • resistance to washing, ironing, dry and wet abrasion without losing shape - such jeans will not shrink and will not stretch;
  • high-quality and accurate tailoring;
  • affordable price.

The main disadvantage of GJ products is its susceptibility to abrasion. However, the fabric itself is dense, without holes, stripes and various kinds of damage.

Interesting fact! At one time, there were rumors that Gloria Jeans cooperated with Levi's and produced jeans under the Levi Strauss Signature TM brand for the American Walmart chain of stores at a lower cost than the original products. However, in 2015, Levi's representatives denied these rumors.
