Designer clothes are simply those that have the label of a well known fashion designer. Sometimes though, an item may bear the name of a designer not because they designed it but because the designers has enter into an agreement with a manufacturer that allows the use of their name. The designers will ensure high quality is maintained to protect their reputation. It is the same with designer jeans.
These are of superior quality in the fabric used to make them, workmanship and fit. Depending on the label, they can cost anywhere from less than a hundred dollars to a thousand. It is however best to avoid very low cost ones as they are most likely counterfeits.
If all one is relying on to verify authenticity is the label, they will easily fall prey to imitators. The fakes look very similar to the genuine item. However, the materials used to make them are of poor quality, the stitching and other craftsmanship details are poor and the tags are fake.
Knowing how to differentiate the real item from the fake is important. One thing that will keep you on the safe side is where you shop. Avoid auctioning websites or sales with offers or prices that are too good to be true at shops.
You will also not get the real item from street sellers and market stalls. These are places you are very likely to find counterfeits. It is for this reason that you will not get a receipt for your purchase in such places. Neither will you be able to get a refund or make an exchange should the item turn out to be defective as is standard in stores that are running a legitimate business.
Your best bet is to buy from the high street. You will most likely get the genuine items including mens dress shoes, suits for men and other mens clothing. You can also get them online. Again, for the sake of being sure of what you are buying, click on the name of the designer you are looking for rather than just search on the internet using the keywords designer jeans. Go to the links that you get from the home page. It is also advisable to pay for the purchase using a credit card. This way, any purchases are protected and you claim your money back if you find the jeans defective in any way. Do this if you are looking to buy other designer mens fashion like suits for men.
A keen eye is really your best protection from falling for a fake. For one, the genuine article will have thick material rather than material so thin that you can see light through it more so around the seams. The stitching should be tight, neat and tidy. Fake jeans will even be sewn with thread of the different colors. Seams may be left unfinished rather than neatly finished.
The label and the branding will also give you a clue. Keenly study the colors and logos of designers from other items you have or the internet. Fakes will always have something off, like a logo that is too small or letters that are too big or in the wrong colors. Armed with this knowledge, you should emerge from that high street job with designer jeans that look and feel great.
