- Get website and ensure you have decent media - pics and lots of them - and straight forward contact information
- Hope on Alibaba - www.alibaba.com with information of your product, your website, e-mail, phone, etc.
- Start contacting retailers directly, perhaps just to ask what they for in a new distributor, etc.
What type of jeans are you making? Standard? Fashion?
Check out the links I posted in sources for more info/help.
Good luck!

Honestly if your in ths field of fashion you should of done your research. Ive been in the fashion industry for a long time. I suggest contacting companies and discuss your product. Send them some of your work. Do your research. Have you been doing this long? If not get the education in Marketing and sales. Most companies won't deal with you if you don'thave the education. Fashion doesn't just start and end with making a product. Do you have a pitch? Can you answer then if they ask you how many yards of fabric you use per 10 clients? Be prepared and good luck

Depends on what your production scale and your marketing budget are. If both are big, you could hire a bunch of marketing heavy-hitters in New York, London, and Tokyo and start a new brand. If not, you should consider doing assembly for designer and store brands. These days, the brands rarely contract with manufacturers directly; they use specialized trading companies (Li & Fung in Hong Kong is one of the largest) that arrange the whole sourcing and production process. So you should list with as many of those traders as you can...
Alternatively, you could attempt to find distributors (or hire commissioned salespeople) in North America, Europe, and Japan, and sell under your existing label.

You should start a website. Try going to boutiques that specialize in selling items from up and coming designers. I know New York & D.C. have such places. Good Luck to you!

You could try putting them on Ebay, if they are liked I am sure your ebay business would pick up!
