Visit to a jeans factory

[fuzzylizzie]

Seriously , I though they had all moved to China, but believe it or not, a small jeans factory near me is still open, and they seem to be doing quite well. Last week I invited myself over to see how jeans were made.

To see my photos, and learn about this business, started in 1913:

There are actually two entries, so read the second one first!

Lizzie, where is the picture of the cutter, in the cutting room? Did you maybe leave it out, or did I miss it somehow?

What a cool field trip! I want some Pointer things now. I grew up around a factory, and worked in them too, so it's a familiar setting for me. I love the old building!

Opps!

Now look...

There they are! Thanks, Lizzie.

That is somehow comforting that there is at least one factory still making clothes this side of the Pacific!

What a great idea to visit this factory - and it's even better there are still companies around producing clothing outside of Asia...
