European Jeans
European Jeans
Coming from reddit, just realizing how many European brands we got. I would almost say the market is saturated quite hard, but there is plenty of choice in style and cut.
I need to skim the original post and search for already given lists for further entries, also I need to add countries in a later edit. Be aware, country of origin does not mean country of production.

Perhaps I‘m a little bit spoiled, about prices for the clothes from the past years. I even didn’t look for dead cheap jeans but nearly none under around 100€ ? Is the world nowadays so expensive ?

Jeans have been around 100€ for quite some years (~10) now… at least in Germany
Wth, you people are insane. I would consider pants above 35€ already expensive.
Tom Tailor is also german
Jip, and some companies like C&A also have own brands. Might have to look into that.
I don’t wear jeans( too cold in winter, too warm in summer), but I know many people do. So thank you for the post!
Can you suggest something? I can only think of cargo and jogging clothes
As RepleteLocum said, yes, some business casual. They can be as comfy as a jogging pants, but look better. I don’t know if you are a man or a woman, if you are a man, there are trousers that have a sobre cur, but are made of cotton or a blend, or even wool for winter. If you are a woman, similar trousers can be found, with a cut made for women. As a woman, what I use a lot is a comfy dress with leggings underneath, thinner cotton when warmer, thermo leggins in winter.
I guess business casual pants. I have some and they are really comfortable, but still formal.
I love jeans, I don’t love the almost fake pockets that barely hold an ID card in women’s jeans.
Any of these have actual pockets?
I hope some afab folk will chime in, it's ridiculous that only amab people have comfy jeans and things actually resembling pockets.

Is there a list with brands that are actually manufactured in Europe? IMHO that'd be way more interesting for me.
In general I would advise everyone to have a look at second hand clothing. Especially Vinted makes it very comfortable and easy to search, filter and buy used products in your style, size, budget and condition you are looking for. It's not only money but also lots of ressources.
Nothing keeps you from improving the list. Research the info and I’ll add it.
The supply chain of clothing is very international.
Most European brands have their clothes manufactured in Europe. It does not matter if the specific brand is French, British or Scandinavian etc. They all use the same factories, roughly speaking. Parts of this might involve outsourcing to China and who knows where else the salary is cheap, but generally the sewing is mostly done in EU still.
However. The textiles used for manufacturing almost always come from various parts of Asia depending on the material. For instance, silk and synthetic fabrics are from China, denim/cotton from India, wool from Turkey etc. It's very difficult to find textile elsewhere in any meaningful quantity. It might be possible to find a few tiny brands doing something local, but overall, Europe is in no way self-sufficient in textiles. An outlier is Italy. Italian fabrics are known for good quality, but they cost more, so it's mostly used by luxury brands all over Europe.
There's also SOSO denim https://sosoclothing.se/ from Sweden.
Thx, will add them later!
While Australia is not part of Europe - we do compete in Eurovision, so hopefully this isn’t too much of a stretch: Ksubi
Their premium designs/cuts are actually made in Portugal, too!
I would add Edward Jeans (Greece) https://www.edward.gr/
Thanks, will add it later.
Good post!
