BBC on denim:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17101768
"Please find enclosed one pair of your overalls which I am sending you that the head of your fabric department may determine what is wrong. I purchased these from the Brayton Commercial Co of Wickenburg, Arizona, in the early part of 1917 and I have worn them every day except Sunday since that time and for some reason which I wish you would explain they have gone to pieces. I have worn nothing but Levi Strauss overalls for the past 30 years and this pair has not given me the service that I have got from some of your overalls in the past. I know that it is your aim to present a superior article on the market and consider it my duty to help you in any way I can. Please consider this and let me know if the fault is mine."

Lucifer, you beat me to it! I thought that was a solid read and am intrigued by a UCL anthropologist's take on denim. Might check out the book. Good contributions from PaulT of SuFu fame as well.

Gotta love the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo…
Pics?..
[/quote]Don't worry, Seul- when I go, I'll take some piglet pics for you.
The Rodeo is a huge event in Houston; last year over 2 million tickets were sold for the monthlong show. Since its inception in 1932, it's raised over 280 million dollars for scholarships, research, endowments and other youth educational programs. Over 20,000 people volunteer to work at it each year. It's a carnival, chili cookoff, concert series, livestock competition, wine tasting & auction, traditional rodeo and giant mall, all rolled into one massive package. We go every year to turn Benjamin loose in the petting zoo, see a couple of concerts and eat funnel cake, fried cheesecake, sausage on a stick and other ridiculous foods.
Even the New York Times took note of some of the craziness.
