Owned by Abercrombie & Fitch Co., the brand's jeans—ranging from skinny to wide-leg—appeal to young consumers worldwide. But where are these jeans made? This guide uncovers A&F's manufacturing network, process, and sustainability efforts, while exploring reliable alternatives for brands seeking similar quality.

What Are the Key Differences Between Abercrombie and Hollister Jeans?

Both brands fall under the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. umbrella. But they were built for different customers.

Abercrombie is positioned as a premium casualwear brand, while Hollister targets younger, more price-sensitive shoppers with trendier, entry-level denim.

Where Are Abercrombie and Fitch Jeans Manufactured?

Abercrombie & Fitch jeans are designed in the United States (headquartered in New Albany, Ohio) but manufactured globally to balance cost, expertise, and efficiency. Unlike early years with more U.S. sourcing, A&F now relies on a diversified supply chain. Key manufacturing countries and companies include:

• Bangladesh: A major hub for affordable, high-volume denim. 
• China: Advanced facilities for complex distressing and dyeing.
• Vietnam: Rising for quality and ethics. 
• India: Strong textile base for cotton blends. 
• Turkey & Mexico: For Europe/Americas proximity. 

Abercrombie & Fitch's global supply chain spans key manufacturing regions with specialized industrial clusters. China remains the dominant hub . These clusters offer mature infrastructure, skilled labor pools, and efficient export logistics. Vietnam emerges as a strategic alternative, with Hai Phong developing competitive advantages through lower labor costs and trade agreement benefits. India's Rajasthan and Gujarat regions provide cost-effective options with growing compliance capabilities.

Market advantages vary by region: Chinese suppliers deliver scale and technical sophistication, Vietnamese manufacturers offer duty-free access to Western markets, and Indian factories provide cost efficiency for basic apparel lines. Industrial clusters in these regions feature vertically integrated facilities handling fabric dyeing, cutting, assembly, and quality control under one roof. Buyers should prioritize zones with proven expertise in A&F's core categories: denim, knitwear, and seasonal outerwear requiring consistent quality at mid-price points.

How Are Abercrombie and Fitch Jeans Made?

A&F's production blends U.S. design with international expertise:

1. Design & Pattern Making: Ohio team creates fits (e.g., Curve Love skinny) using CAD for scalability.
2. Cutting: Laser-guided in factories like Civil Engineers (Bangladesh), minimizing waste.
3. Sewing: Industrial machines assemble 5-pocket styles; skilled labor ensures reinforced seams.
4. Washing & Finishing: Specialized sites (e.g., Aoxi in China) apply indigo dyes, distressing, or whiskering for vintage appeal.
5. Quality Control: A&F audits enforce ISO/BSCI standards; final inspections before shipping.

How To Choose Abercrombie and Fitch Manufacturing Suppliers?

Selection requires rigorous evaluation against Abercrombie & Fitch's operational benchmarks. Primary criteria include ethical compliance verification through recent BSCI, SEDEX, or WRAP certifications – non-negotiable for brand partnerships. Production capability assessments should cover:

• Minimum order quantities aligning with seasonal inventory needs
• Vertical integration depth for fabric sourcing and finishing
• Technology adoption (automated cutting, CAD pattern systems)
• Sample development speed and accuracy

Quality verification must include third-party audit reports, reference checks with existing Western clients, and lab testing results for colorfastness, shrinkage, and fabric durability. Industry standards demand on-site inspections evaluating:

• Working conditions against A&F's Vendor Code of Conduct
• Environmental management systems for wastewater and chemical handling
• Documentation traceability from raw materials to finished goods

Operational metrics like ≤24-hour response times, ≤30-day sample development cycles, and ≥98% on-time delivery rates indicate reliable partners. Always request evidence of past performance with comparable premium casualwear brands.

Are the fabrics, stitching, and hardware on Abercrombie jeans?

Abercrombie’s denim features tight twill weaves, heavier weights (12-14 oz), and YKK hardware. The double-stitched seams and clean inside finishing help them survive years of wear.

• Stitching: Look inside the hem. Abercrombie uses locked chain stitching.
• Fabric Feel: Abercrombie’s denim feels thicker and has “substance.” 
• Waistbands: Abercrombie reinforces their waistbands to avoid rollover. 

Why Abercrombie and Fitch Manufactures in These Locations

A&F's global strategy optimizes operations:

1. Cost Efficiency: Lower labor in Bangladesh/India vs. U.S.
2. Textile Infrastructure: China's dyeing expertise; Vietnam's garment skills.
3. Global Supply Chain: Proximity to cotton (India) and ports (Turkey/Mexico).
4. Quality & Certification: BSCI/ISO at partners like Civil Engineers.
5. Logistics: Shorter routes to markets; Hong Kong coordination.
