If you love denim; blue or black, then there’s a chance you’ve worn Faded Glory jeans. They made deep colors and bleached denim.
Maybe the name Faded called up the thought of faded jeans in your mind. Be assured that the name of the brand has nothing to do with the colors of the denim.
Faded Glory thrives on the freedom of not being encumbered by fame or popularity, it reminds you of the laidback lifestyle of the 70s.
Denims are hard to distinguish from one brand to the other. If you are among the about 5 percent members of the human race who have the superpower of picking out their special denim brand from a pile of others, then you should read on.
And if you love Faded Glory jeans as I do, this article should be important to you.
The Faded Glory Makers
Have you ever wondered who makes Faded Glory jeans? I did too for a long time before taking a dive into the history of one of the best inexpensive jeans ever.
The story of Faded Glory began with brothers, Micheal and Jimmy Shane who together with their business partner Billy Kolber started the bleached jeans brand in 1972. In 1992, Avi and Charles Dayan purchased the company and added it to their Bonjour Group.
The brand is still owned by this company and the sales of Faded Glory aren’t by Walmart alone.
Does Faded Glory have a website?
The answer to do this as at the time this article was prepared is: no.
Brands desire to take charge of their own image, content, and marketing by creating their own websites. For Faded Glory, there seem to be none as yet.
In 2001 Adweek, the marketing firm informed the public of the news that Faded Glory now has a website, www.fadedglory.com.
I checked this website but was redirected to ads. It was a welcome development at a time when denim was experiencing a reemergence in the fashion world and competition had become stiffer among brands.
I will keep trying to check into the website and let you readers know in subsequent reviews if something new comes up.
Who sells Faded Glory clothesline?
Faded Glory is sold on different online shops now, from Kmart to Amazon.
Walmart used to be the sole seller of Faded Glory jeans until 2018 when they phased out some of their old brands and took on new ones.
Since I wear Faded Glory jeans and I’m a sucker for denim, I decided to check the Walmart online website to see if in 2022 they still offer Faded Glory denim. I found a few.
Who carries Faded Glory Clothing?
Before the year 2018 Walmart carries Faded Glory clothes. Plans to phase out the brand leaked through correspondence that didn’t want to be named. It appears though that this plan involves physical Walmart stores and not online ones.
A quick check on Walmart’s online shop shows there are Faded Glory clothing still up for sale there. Is this an indication that the department store giant is not ready to let go of our beloved denim brand yet?
Here’s a Girls’ Bootcut Jeans from Walmart’s online website.
Several other online stores carry Faded Glory Clothings. You will find the brand’s clothings on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Poshmark.
Is Faded Glory brand still in business?
No, it is not. That is, the denim are no longer known by the name, Faded Glory. In 2018, the names changed from Faded Glory to Time & Tru for women’s apparel, George for men, and Wonder Nation for children.
So technically, the company that made Faded Glory is still in business only that the names have changed.
These brands are sold by Walmart.
What happened to Faded Glory clothing?
It was simple, what happened to the brand. Walmart wanted to make room for newer brands so they decided to phase out Faded Glory.
Walmart has been the sole retailer of Faded Glory since 1972 and the brand became a household name in denim fashion. By 2018, Walmart felt that the time had come to be more in tune with the changing fashion environment.
What are the Faded Glory clothing still in existence today?
