Blue jeans and capitalism: A rant.

I bought a pair of $40 Levi’s 501 Shrink-to-Fit blue jeans this evening.
Blue jeans are quite possibly the most enduring icon of American fashion. They have been around at least since the days of prospectors in the California Gold Rush, and remain more or less the same pantaloons today that they were 150 years ago. They are arguably the first original American clothing item, and so it is fitting, perhaps, that they are also the clothing item that seems the most susceptible to the meddlings of that pesky American drive to increase the profit margin in absurd ways.
