Most jeans you're wearing today barely resemble the stiff, deep indigo pair that Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss introduced in 1873. They're softer, thinner, lighter-colored and stretchy. That makes them more comfortable but also one of the most polluting and resource-intensive items in your closet. But there's real hope for your jeans. Today's jeans start with the same woven twill as Levi's original pair, dyed blue and studded with rivets.

A maior parte das calças de ganga que se usam actualmente em nada se assemelham ao par rígido de índigo profundo que Jacob Davis e Levi Strauss introduziram em 1873. São mais macias, mais finas, de cor mais clara e elásticas. Isso torna-as mais confortáveis, mas também uma das peças mais poluentes e que consomem mais recursos. Mas há esperança.
