Product description:
These jeans are from Topshop, are an off-black colour and features minor distressing. These are women's jeans in the style 'Boyfriend' and a length of 32 inches.
The length of the trousers are suitable and good; they aren't too long but aren't too short. The actual length and waist size of the jeans match the size advertised on the tag.
The size of the pockets on the back are a suitable size in terms of aesthetics and are also large enough for standard use. The belt holes are a good size and hold a standard sized belt.
The holes are tight enough to keep the belt in place but not too tight that they don't allow it to go through.The button and zip match in colour and texture (silver metal) which also coordinates well with the colour of the fabric.
This style could be made simpler by removing the distressed feature which would speed up the production. The distresses could easily be pulled too much in production and could cause major tearing in the garment, causing it to be counted as wastage.
Changing the method of fastening from a zip and button to a hook and eye which is an easier method of fastening, takes less time to put on and is cheaper. Using this method means there is less likely to be a defect with the fastening because with the button, the buttonhole may be too big or too small which will cause issues.This potential defect is not simple to correct in the inspection and quality control process therefore garments will be classed as wastage. In this particular garment sample the buttonhole is too small therefore it is really difficult to get the button into the hole.
Another issue with the garment is that the edge of the pockets are jagged and not straight. Lastly, there are loose threads freying from the inside of the leg.
