A fascinating look into the history of Jeans. Well researched and the documentation and pictures of the styles, features and designs through the evolution of Jeans was very interesting.

While Jeans of the Old West: A History could as easily have been featured in our History, Arts or Collector's areas, it's profiled here for the special interest it will hold for needleworkers and any interested in fabric and style history. It's packed with insights on the development of denim, its marketing, and its evolution in both function and presentation, and it is loaded with color photos of old Western jeans. An eclectic, fine survey, this crosses many genres in its presentation.

The only other way you'll see the beautiful pieces of denim in this book is to risk your life deep inside one of the American West's abandoned mines - and that's with decades of hunting under your belt. Stick with this book and get a glimpse of where the high end designers get their genius ideas - from the past.
