Mudd Jeans
From LoveToKnow Teens
MUDD Jeans is a popular fashion among teens, and adults! Parents like them because they are priced under $40, and kids like them because they offer fresh and hip styles that look good. These teen jeans come in sizes 0 – 13 and can be found in different colors, washes and styles. Their main market is girls ages 15 to 24. MUDD clothing is well-made and holds up through multiple washes and regular wear and tear. Everything bearing the MUDD logo is designed to be trend-setting, modern and edgy.
The MUDD brand began in 1995 with their flare jeans. Today their jeans represent independence and a freedom of choice. The company’s mission is "To provide the junior market with a fresh, hip line." However, you will also find adults who love the style, which shows off their curves and “booty”. The company got its name from a style of funky brown jeans. You can now find MUDD jeans in junior clothing sections of about 450 stores nationwide and in numerous online stores.
Styles and Clothing
The most popular style of Mudd Jeans is hip-hugger jeans with a flare. This hip-hugger style first became popular in the 1960’s and came back again in the 1980’s. They got their name because they literally hug the hip. Instead of sitting on your waist, they rest on your hips. The style is popular because it is a tight fit around both the hips and thighs. They then flare towards the bottom. Hip-hugger pants are worn low, often below the belly button and exposing the midriff when a shorter shirt is worn. This style is perfect for showing off belly-button rings. When the wearer bends over, it is not uncommon to see their underwear. MUDD Jeans come in stretch denim, which gives comfort by allowing the pants to move and breathe.
MUDD products come in a variety of washes including dirty tinted, black faded, dark wash, medium wash and light wash. Other jean styles include 5-pocket jeans, the skinny jean and the extended tab jean. They also recently launched a new style called Delicious Curves, which is designed to make curvier women look good. Recording artist Ashanti was signed to represent the new brand.

Hi Alan, If the store won't accept a return for whatever reason, you have two choices - visit the new Mudd website My Mudd World and contact the company directly, or hire someone to replace the zipper. Many dry cleaning businesses will replace zippers on items for a minimal charge (usually under $10).
