Great, but a few flaws.

I have been torn between a 4 and a note 5. What is good, it is much, but I think that a few things should have been added.

I would like to give it a couple of stars just for loving to have printed retail it blue on white. It is a very interesting story. This is all the more informative because Sullivan gives alternative versions of various stories, instead of simply select that he prefers. In addition, he mentions that it is a little 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 about various companies while Lévis Gets the most space (as appropriate). Sullivan begins with jeans, precursors different tissues and traces the passage in the use of active people, juvenile rebellion to jeans designers.

There is something lacking in this story, in my opinion, and I admit is a concerned animal peeve. Having been born in 1953, I am tired of having the baby boomers all characterised the older members of the ensemble. The baby boom lasted in 1968 - some of the younger "boomers" are the older children. I imagine what younger that believe me people. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, when I was wearing jeans, feeling of rebellion had 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 adults most of my peers accepted jeans as the costume young people without much protest, even if most of them do not wear jeans. This battle has been fought and won by the old slightly. The question was less blue jeans in itself the formality issue dress. We could wear jeans at high school, but women could also wear pants, any type including a skirt of splitting or panties. I do not think that the jeans were enough sex symbols become with jeans designers. They were rather androgynous and partly symbolic of sexual equality. Some people were wearing their as an alternative to gendered clothing. If you don't know what that means, try to play Susan Brownmiller femininity (Paladin Books). I say this not only carry necessarily managed to avoid cultural norms sexy, just search was sometimes their intention.

My other problems are with some of the details. Sullivan does not clearly define a large number of terms. Although I appreciate his explanation of denim jeans dungaree and how they came to be confused, have a little more in detail

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 contemporary market. Book Sullivan exposes this transition
a smooth and intelligible manner. This paper 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"
