Today my dad babysat Avery for a few hours at my house and when I got home, Ken was watching this show about how jeans were made. Now this is one of those things that I have never sat down to think about how they are actually made, so of course I was intrigued. Without recapping the entire hour-long show, I will give you a few highlights.
-At this one factory in Mexico, they make 400,000 pairs of jeans a day.
-They dye the thread yellow first because the blue dye doesn't stay as well; something about dying the thread yellow first helps the blue dye hold, although as most of us know, new jeans still bleed blue a little because it is really hard for the blue dye to stay on cotton.
-For every three blue threads, there is one white thread
There was a lot of information on the show and it really made me want to watch more of this show. Fortunately, I can't even remember the channel or the name of the show, which is good because I have too many things to watch anyway.
What I Learned: How jeans are made.
