PBS Documentary History of Riveted Blue Jeans

[profdbrk]

I don't think I have seen this referenced here yet but Public Broadcasting has, as part of it's American Experience, series produced a new history of jeans.  Here's a link that will take you there (I hope): https://www.pbs.org/video/riveted-the-history-of-jeans-giam2l/

Interestingly the documentary doesn't cover the internationalization of denim, much less the emergence of Amekaji in Japan.  Iron Heart is a part of the next chapter of this story.
