Secondhand Jeans – The Guide to Finding Your Perfect Pair
Why secondhand jeans are the best deal
Good jeans only improve with time – the fabric softens and develops character. A pair of Levi's that costs 400 ILS new sells for 80-150 ILS secondhand. Secondhand jeans are also more comfortable because they have already been broken in.
The best brands to buy
Levi's is the king of secondhand jeans – especially the classic 501 and 505 models. Wrangler, Lee, and Diesel also offer excellent quality. Premium brands like Citizens of Humanity and AG are a real find secondhand.
How to choose the right cut
Skinny, straight, boyfriend, mom jeans – every cut is different. Skinny jeans secondhand are already stretched and may be more comfortable. Mom jeans and wide cuts change less over time. It is recommended to know your waist measurement in centimeters.
What to look for
Check for wear between the legs – that is the first area to wear on jeans. Check zipper and stitching. Dark jeans that have faded slightly usually look great and add character. Stains are hard to remove from jeans, so check carefully.
