The Joe's jeans at the outlets are &lt;$100, I am told.</p> <p>BC and Marble - I am glad you had a positive experience.</p> <p>UmmLila, that's interesting. I did't know outlet stores mixed last-season's stuff and made-for-outlet items. I am guessing that in case of the jeans, they are mostly made-for-outlet. The ones my friend bought are not marked with any specific style name (as regular jeans are) but they do come in petite sizes which is the draw for me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outlet-version-of-premium-jeans#post-1653692 Mon, 02 May 2016 09:23:41 +0000 ma 1653692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one pair of joe flares and I love them...they did not bag out on me. I agree with UmmLila as far as outlets go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outlet-version-of-premium-jeans#post-1653598 Mon, 02 May 2016 00:22:36 +0000 Anonymous 1653598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few years ago, my DD bought a great pair of True Religion jeans. The denim was incredibly soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outlet-version-of-premium-jeans#post-1653596 Mon, 02 May 2016 00:19:49 +0000 annagybe 1653596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found this glassdoor post insteresting<br /> <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-True-Religion-Brand-Jeans-RVW1464847.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.glassdoor.com/Revi.....464847.htm</a></p> <p>That being said I don't think outlets in general are the deal they used to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outlet-version-of-premium-jeans#post-1653570 Sun, 01 May 2016 23:03:18 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1653570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the stores at the outlet malls like Saks off Fifth are just selling merch that didn't previously sell. </p> <p>But the ones like BR, J Crew, Coach, etc include lower quality items produced only for outlet purposes. Last year I was looking at two leopard print bags for a similar price at a Coach outlet store and the SA told me that if I was choosing I should take the one that she pointed out to me as the regular store item, and showed me the various reasons its quality was better than the outlet item (zipper closure, different straps) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outlet-version-of-premium-jeans#post-1653451 Sun, 01 May 2016 16:51:36 +0000 elpgal 1653451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realized recently that a premium outlet mall sells Joes and True Religion jeans. Do you all have any experience with them? Specifically do they stretch out and last as long? Pricing is similar to Nordstrom Rack. Hmm...I wonder if the Rack sells marked down regular merchandise or if the denim is an outlet-version. </p> <p>I know for sure that BR and Gap outlet denim is often different from the regular version. Not sure about JCrew. </p>
