Jean Genie

Why are jeans blue? Have you ever stopped to think about that?

Believe me, I'm the biggest proponent of jeans there is. I would wear nothing else if given the choice.

But why is this all-casual, everyday, go-with-everything pant BLUE? Like blue is the most neutral color they can make? I'm really surprised jeans don't most commonly come in an earth tone.

We've seen the black, the purple, the red. We know that they have the capability to dye the denim other shades. That's what kept County Seat in business all those years.

So why did the masses collectively decide that blue is the best color for jeans, the most versatile article of clothing in our wardrobes?

I just think it's odd.

Jeans are an American invention, therefore if you wear them you're already one step closer to sporting right, white and blue. In fact, most people in their daily wear are always only two steps away from them patriotic colors.

Jeans are blue because Strauss of Levi & Srauss was a Cubs fan.
