so I bought a pair of jeans the other day for $40 on sale.. marked down from $160. I just found the tag lying around, and after actually reading it, two things stood out to me:

Under the “Construction” category of features: “Each pair individually numbered.” Since when do clothes have serial numbers? Have I just never spent enough on a pair of jeans to realize this?

Under the “Wet Process Applications” category: “Average processing time: 6.2 hours” (this after listing a few different hand-applied processes). At least they’re made in USA.. so I know it wasn’t Chinese child labor that did the work.
