The World of Blue Jeans - TIME magazine photo essay

Love the caption on the first pic:

"Workers at this jeans factory in the Chinese boomtown put out 10,000 pairs a day, almost all of them in the fashionable "distressed" style. "

Makes it sound like distressed jeans are from like 100 years in the past... "Ah yes, I remember when we wore jeans distressed, as was the fashion of the time."

I thought to myself, hmm, the first factory does not look too bad (for what that is worth anyhow), then was pretty suprised by the rest.

I'd have to say this pic and description had me laughing, talk about pinching:

"A worker at All American Wash, a luxury denim-maker, sculpts 3-D whiskers into a pair of designer pants."

Wait you mean I can "pinch" fake whiskers onto my jeans!? lol

this was my fav

I sleep wrapped in my jeans like this and so will my kids:

Seems like these jeans are a clear cut trademark violation of Levi's arcs. Why don't they go after cheese like this instead of Warehouse, Samurai, SC, etc?!?!?!

[cabl3]

and do you think they'll sue a company that has heidi klum modeling the jeans?

^Denim is an aphrodisiac.

Fuck fades are the last step to perfect jeans.
