Blue Jeans

Why are blue jeans the default? It's true, they are comfortable, but It seems random that the thing that people generally wear everyday is something relatively new to the clothing world. And something that is blue, not a more neutral black, white, or gray. And something that always tears in the knees after only a few hundred uses. And something that lets the cold and heat in easily. Is it a cheap material? Is that why? Was there some movie star that experimented with them long ago that created this standard of normal.

WHY are we using this blue, easily-tearable, strange fabric for 90% of our daily pants needs? Just an observation.

  1. because blue jeans used to be super awesome pants that would out last a linen pant, so they were more practical and cost effective, but now companies make them thinner and with poorer quality so they can make more money and people have to buy new ones more frequently. There was actually an article in the news a while back about how the economy has given rise to more stores making thinner, poorly made, short lived garments.
