The difference between two colourful bits of rectangular paper - John Paul Koning - Bullion Star

501 JEANS NOW CHEAPER? Inflation? Dollar's worth, yesterday to today? All very interesting, informative but a rather important point has been missed.The actual garment itself. So to clarify...I was born a little after Noah's flood, my boys are grown men and I'm an avid sewer. At the time my boys wore 501's their body measurements did not coincide with the garment industry's sizing measurements. With my trusty tape measure I would measure a stack of 20ty some odd 501s for that oddity of a speck more material in width or length. Today I do the same for my grandsons, therefore I am fully qualified to make the following statements. The quality of cotton is a grade lower, the grommets are lighter weight metal, pocket material is both lighter and shorter in depth, that speck of extra material is now nonexistent. That "speck" has now grown to be less material, common in both length and width. The seam allowance is now narrower. The "bean counters" have protected the Bottom Line and the red tag is still in place. Just thought you'd like to know.
