John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter An aesthetically uninspired but informative primer on the path this wardrobe staple has taken from the Old West to haute couture. Apr 11, 2017 Full Review Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times Despite the fabric's familiarity, most viewers will leave the documentary bored. Apr 6, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member https://youtu.be/ZGT0P0XJRFM Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member There's so much I didn't know about jeans! The fashion industry is very interesting, and this story has so much history on everyone's favourite pants. But this documentary is quite disjointed, and the story following the jeans dealer is uninteresting. Not the worst, but you could probably just read up on jeans instead. Watched on Netflix at home with Sam, June 28, 2017. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
