Can you buy jeans already made, personalize them and make them your own line? Is that legal? and can I sell them world wide? Can I put my lable on them?

I am afraid - NO.
Branding is all about having your own identity.
You need to have some value addition. Probably you may become affiliate to some jeans company first, sell their jeans, establish rapport and then create your own jeans with value addition.

Best thing is to create your own brand, however small it is. Once it is in the market and the word of mouth advertising gets you the marketshare.

All the best

I don't agree with alluwanted.

To start - it would be best to buy unbranded jeans, just basic jeans without a label.

From there if you wanted to put patches, rips etc. on it - you can and sell it.

Best advise I can give you is execute small (buy a dozen jeans or something) see how it goes, react to sales, from there you can grow.

I would caution you on the trying to take jeans if they are already branded. You will need to definitely make sure that you are not infringing on someone else's brand name.
