Factor 1. The origins of denim to the mass production of jeans
1.The word ‘denim’ comes from the French for ‘genoa’ in Italy. It was popularised as a term for trousers in the American civil war. Mass production for jeans began in 1873, as workwear for laborers in western states (usually blue) wrap and white filling threads; it is also woven in coloured stripes. Denim is yarn-dyed and mill-finished it is also usually all cotton although considerable quantities are of a cotton-synthetic fibre mixture.
Jeans can be viewed as the most democratic piece of clothing. Globally worn by people of all genders and ages. With a global average of people owning two pairs.
Today 2 billion pairs of jeans are produced globally every year. In the context of globalisation many countries can be involved in the different stages of manufacturing jeans.
2. The material denim links to the field of jeans as jeans are very popular hence the relationship between catalytic clothing and the material denim they have chosen. Jeans are a staple item in everyone’s wardrobe and are worn by everyone from A-list celebrities to young children. Denim jeans are a good item of clothing as they don’t go out of fashion and I know this as the oldest surviving pair of jeans dates from around 1879. By choosing a item of clothing that is popular and will remain constant for instance not go out of fashion it’ll mean that the catalyst in the clothing will be reacting with the pollutants in the air such as carbon dioxide and methane and eliminate them.

Why jeans? Why not sandals or polo-shirts?
Well, jeans have been chosen as clothing catalysts because of their stitching imparticular, and the fact that two thirds of the world own two pairs of jeans on average. The fact that jeans are so popular, it means that people of the world can promote the idea whilst perhaps wearing them, it makes for good advertising .The stitching on jeans is very different to other types of clothing. The denim that they are made out of is cross-stitched, this means that they are almost three dimensional, giving them a larger surface area for these catalyst particles to attach.
