Synopsis
Since their emergence over a century and a half ago, blue jeans have been worn by every segment of society, and exported around the world as a symbol of civilisation. In 'Jeans', the author traces the evolution of jeans from a simple utilitarian garment into what fashion critics have called 'the American uniform'., The story of Americas best-loved garment, from the humble pants Levi Strauss sold to California miners in the 1870s to big-city socialites spending big money$300 and upfor premium jeans today Since their emergence over a century and a half ago, blue jeans have been worn by every segment of American society, and exported around the world as a symbol of our civilization. In "Jeans," James Sullivan traces the evolution of jeans from a simple utilitarian garment into what fashion critics have called the American uniform, the very embodiment of our societys ethos. Beginning with the adoption of front-buckled trousers as a style of dress in nineteenth-century America (derided as fornication pants by Mormon leader Brigham Young), Sullivan tells the story of the riveted blue jeans humble origin as waist overall work pants. He then follows their mass production by such regional entrepreneurs as San Franciscos legendary Levi Strauss and their further popularization as youth clothing and Westernwear in the twentieth century with the rise of such national brands as Lee and Wrangler. Sullivan shows how such film stars as John Wayne, James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Marilyn Monroe evangelized jeans for a new generation, and how in recent decades designer fashion and consumer culture have combined to make them ubiquitous: worn by rappers, hipsters, discount shoppers, and politicians, embodying the fashion and cultural ideas of vastly different segments of society. Touching on a broad-ranging host of topicsfrom the rise and fall of natural indigo dyes to the enduring mythos of the cowboy, from the explosion of youth culture in the Baby Boom era to the globalization of the textile industry andthe erosion of American manufacturing"Jeans" is a history of American culture as told through its pants., The story of America's best-loved garment, from the humble trousers worn by miners in the 1870s to the big-city socialites spending big money for premium jeans today. Inisghtful, witty and entirely timely., For over 150 years, blue jeans have been worn by every sector of American society, and exported around the world as a symbol of American civilization. Sullivan traces the evolution of jeans from a simple utilitarian garment into what fashion critics have called "the American uniform.", Since their emergence over 150 years ago, blue jeans have been worn by every sector of society and exported around the world. In Jeans, Sullivan traces the evolution of jeans from a simple utilitarian garment into what fashion critics have called 'the American uniform'. Beginning with the adoption of front-bucked trousers as a style of dress in 19th century America, Sullivan expertly describes its origins and subsequent rise to the superstar of the textile world. As much a history of America as of it's virtual national symbol, Jeans tells a riveting and fascinating story.

- r***1 (178)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1638)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
