Great, but a few flaws.

I have been torn between a 4 and 5 note. What is good is great, but I believe that some things should have been added.

I would give him a couple of stars just for retail magnet have printed it blue on white. This is a very interesting history. This is all the more instructive because Sullivan gives other versions of various stories, instead of simply select that he prefers. In addition, he mentions that he is somewhat skeptical of some "official stories" without actually calling the source a liar. It obviously spoke with or reviewed a large number of people involved in the industry.There are many details to the various societies, although Lévis Gets the most space (as appropriate) .Sullivan begins with precursors of jeans, various fabrics and traces the passage in the use of active persons, juvenile rebellion to the designers of jeans.

There is something lacking in this story, in my opinion, and I admit it's an animal peeve concerned. Having been born in 1953, I am tired of having the baby boomers all characterised them older members of the ensemble. The baby boom lasted in 1968 - some of the younger "boomers" are the older children. I imagine what people younger than I think. By the end of the 1960s and early in the 1970s, when I was wearing jeans, within the meaning of the rebellion was very nice died. Oh, the rebel yet bears jeans, wearing jeans is necessarily a sign of being rebel. I am sure there are exceptions, but most of my peers accepted adults jeans as the costume youth without much protest, even though most of them have no jeans bear. This battle was fought and won by the old slightly. The question was less blue jeans in itself that the question of the formality dress. We couldn't wear jeans to secondary school, but women could also wear pants, any type including a split skirt or panties. I do not think that the jeans were quite sex symbols that they became with the designers of jeans. They were rather androgynous and partly symbolic of sexual equality.Some people were as an alternative to sexospécifiée.Si clothing you don't know what that means, try reading Susan Brownmiller femininity (Paladin Books). I only say not only carry necessarily managed to avoid cultural standards sexy, just search sometimes was their intention.

My other problems are with some of the details.Sullivan does not define clearly many terms.Although I appreciate his explanation of denim/jean/dungaree and how they came to confuse, a little more detail would have been agréable.Quand said that Sullivan

Great Read, Interesting Book

As a 3rd generation garmento, I found this very interesting book. Denim has gone from being a manual element
with status comprehensively and dominates the market contemporain.Livre Sullivan exposes this transition.
in a harmonious manner, intelligible.Ce book explores American culture as much as it does denim.

And the person who challenged the quote Brigham Young, your comment was not exactly a "review",
That is what this section is designed pour.En in addition, I would be interested to know your database by attacking
This quote as you have proposed no source for your statement.
