The Blue Jean Book
Description: This fascinating "Story Behind the Seams" not only traces the evolution of jeans, but it provides a cultural and social history of the 20th century. The life and times of Levi Strauss and his business partner, Jacob Davis, are explored in early chapters, along with their main competitor, Henry David Lee. Readers will find out how rivets, the "Arcuate" pattern, and the zipper revolutionized the early "waist-high overalls.”

The book features eye-catching page layout and design. Sidebars are in the shape of back pockets. A series of time capsules offers insight into history-making world events, such as "Behind the Iron Curtain: Jeans Were There."

Full page vintage advertisements are a great addition, and they complement the text. The ads show how blue jeans changed with the times, from cowboy gear, to a patriotic "Rosie the Riveter" wartime dress code for women, to 1960s protest wear. Photographs of the oldest pair of 501 jeans still in existence (dating from about 1879) attest to the durability and longevity of the style, as does the sensational Ripley's Believe it or Not! ad from 1939 depicting Tom Boyd's "26 mile crawl on untreated concrete—Wore out the man—but not the Lee Overalls!"
