“Jeans” Fast Facts
In 1875, 12 pairs of jeans cost $13.50. Which means that one pair cost approximately $1.13.
Almost all US consumers own at least one pair of jeans, and the average consumer owns seven pairs.
China, Mexico, and Bangladesh were the top suppliers of denim jeans in 2010, accounting for 68.4% of units imported.
Average US retail prices of denim jeans are up in the first quarter of 2011, but down from the same period in 2009.
Mid-tier department stores allocate the greatest share of floor space to jeans and are more likely to have jeans priced “on sale”.
Consumers see the value in paying more for a jean that will fit better and last longer, and 76% of consumers think better-quality
clothing is made from natural fibers.
