Sample Sale Report: Hudson Jeans

At the Hudson Jeans sample sale, in addition to regular washes, special print and coated jeans abound. Hudson makes some of the comfiest jeans around with über flattering back views for men and women alike.

While the sale is not in a very large space and there is mandatory bag check, the sale is not overly crowded and more importantly there is a good selection of product available.

For women, sizes range from 23 to 31 with a decent selection of styles in each category.

Sample Sale Report: Hudson Jeans

Last night I also stopped by the first ever Hudson Jeans sample sale. I for one was very excited because in addition to a snug fit that is super comfortable, Hudson specializes in a variety of unique finishes that makes a pair really special. Unlike competitors, their finishes are never crusty but superior in softness and wearability.


Jeans started at just $50 a pair for women for metallic deco printed styles, dye blasted, striped and snake print. For $60 a pair you could pick up a black back, white front 50/50 color block pair like I did. Or they also had white shorts, ultralight linen jeans in pink and medium blue jeans. For $65 you enter the world of coated and there is a pearlescent blue pair that I already own and love as well as a copper style, shiny style in both turquoise and purple blue. 

For $75 there is a black and white rose print with tuxedo stripe, coated pair with tuxedo stripe, coated sweat pants to name a few. At $100 there are some with elasticized waistbands, detailed back pockets and embroidery up the side of the leg. If you went up to $125 you get the special pairs with zippered accents or leather panels. Sizes were available from 24 to 32 in just about every section although not every style was available in every size.
