The types of custom design jeans
Jeans celebrated their first success in the 1950s. Thanks to many famous American actors like
James Dean and Marlon Brando jeans became a cult object. A relaxed cool look with a t-shirt,
leather jacket and blue jeans embodied the values like freedom, youth and sports. By the 1960s this
uniform of workers developed itself to separate casual clothes.
Since then many decades passed and different types of casual jeans established themselves with
corresponding changing fashions. Let us speak today about four most popular models of jeans. Be it
bell-bottoms, skinny jeans, carrot jeans or ride jeans, they remain our absolutely favorite clothes
item.
Jeans differ in their fitting form. For instance, in the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s
were bell-bottomed jeans extremely popular. Such customized jeans are very tight on the thighs and hips
and become wider under the knees.

Trouser legs can cover the whole shoes. Bell-bottomed jeans models were
back then made from rough denim without stretch and were thus not stretchable and relatively unpractical
to wear. That is why young people of the 1970s generation invented their own ritual to make their jeans softer.
They took a bath in their personalized jeans or went to swim in the sea wearing jeans and let them afterwards
dry on the body. The fabric took then the form of their figures. Besides, jeans were usually worn for a long time
and thus acquired the so-called characteristic used look distinguished by lighter places on the knees and thighs.
In the end of the 1970s skinny jeans become very popular. Such tailor jeans are very tight throughout the
length of the trouser legs. The first skinny jeans models did not fit the figure ideally and looked rather like
too tight trousers. Of course they didn’t follow the silhouette and accentuate special parts of the body like
modern skinny jeans do. Many tailored jeans models even had zippers at the end of trouser legs to make the taking
off process easier. However, as time went by the design of skinny jeans was perfected and later models like 534
and 611 by Levi’s or Mustang Boots have an anatomic cut. Thus a good skinny jeans model fits the figure perfectly
and resembles second skin, making its owner look sexy and beautiful.

In the 1980s skinny jeans are replaced by carrot jeans models with a high waistline and the cut becoming tighter
towards the bottom of trouser legs. Until this moment custom tailored jeans existed only in dark blue variant.
However, gradually it became more and more popular to design custom jeans bleached using chemical or mechanical techniques.

There are also jeans created specially for horse riding. They have no inner seams on the sides of trouser legs so
that the person wearing them doesn’t get injured during horse riding.
