Well done, but to add, Denim is a 'Twill' weave. Your demo on the weave being correct, did not explain that the twill is more durable, and easier to clean, than the duck canvas that was originally used in jeans. Hence why they started using it. (so I was told.)

I remember reading somewhere that Levi Strauss added the rivets as a joke because he was sick and tired of the cowboys complaining about his jeans falling apart. The rivets were for metal sheets originally, I think. So to use them.on fabric was crazy. But it ended up being the missing ingredient. I remember when Japan bought all the denim back in the 90s. There were "We buy jeans" signs everywhere!

Great video. Makes a little less tense about sewing a pair of jeans myself. You did miss one problem with modern jeans. On some brands of womens jeans, the pockets are too shallow to be of any use. I have had to cut the bottom edges of some jeans, then sew on exstensions to make them deep enough to carry a cell phone, or whatever other junk i need. I have learned to carefully check pockets before buying.

Indeed. It is a rather silly thing that they make them so small by choice. Good on you for making them bigger.

Super interesting video. Its odd to me that jeans are the default type of pants considering the rough material and tendency to have a lower rise. I prefer wearing trousers or chinos for most situations. Much more lightweight. I will admit the unique grainy texture is kinda of jeans is kinda nice and adds a bit visual detail to a n outfit

As someone who wears jeans, and has ridden horses, I can vouch for not wanting a rivet there. Has nothing to do with campfires, and everything to do with the development of the McClellan saddle. Look up the saddle, you'll have the full answer. As a kid, I got along fine. As an adult, the McClellan was a necessity, all of a sudden. A rivet hitting / being sandwiched between the saddle and rider, not something pleasant.

If you read this, there are channels with greater integrity about the history of denim/jeans. An example is Nicole Rudolph. However there are many KZread channels acknowledging historical truths with authenticity at this point. Thus it is "time out" these type of narrow views being presented as truths. I understand the entitlement, but facts are more readily available today. Denim has been worn by the poorest people and slaves long prior to where the tangent or this channel begins... and they weren't blue by the way. Many black women's hands became permanently blue processing indigo in this country where the only "free" labor acknowledged is that slaves happily picked cotton. More offensive, this channel didn't even give credit to the country or people whom developed the technology to process indigo plants into a fiber reactive dye. I could go on, but what's the point. I've reiterated this story in the comments of numerous KZread's channels. Most people only want to accept an "idealized" history, not the truth.👎👎👎👎👎
