NYT review of the book "Jeans"

haha, maybe we're all wrong about our denim selection:

"[Jeans were] 'inexpensive to buy, inexpensive to maintain,' that they suggested 'that neither individuality nor distinction can be bought in a clothing store.... “The new clothes demonstrate a significant new relationship between man and technology,†he wrote. “Basically they are machine-made, and there is no attempt to hide that fact, no shame attached to mass-produced goods, no social points lost for wearing something that sells at $4.99 from coast to coast and has its measurements printed on the outside for all to read.â€"

haha, this book apparently talks about how that vision of denim failed and now it's designer, etc.
