The Americans consume 40% of world’s jeans by value, followed by Europe 20% & by Japan & South Korea 10% & balance by rest of the world.

A single pair of Jeans consumes more than 3600 liters of water, from the farm where the cotton crop is irrigated to the factory where dyes are added to the yarn, to the innumerable washing by the customer. And all this has now put the think tanks to review the situation to decrease the water consumption required by jeans from manufacturing to washing.

India also caught the sight of early birds of American Indians returning for holidays to India wearing Jeans. The imitation industry was quick to adopt the style & Mohan Singh Palace in Connaught Place became the hub of Jeans stitching with additional cost of Rupees twenty five to adopt the branded label on its waist- which added style & sensuousness to the locally stitched (imitated) Jeans. Initially it was the Delhi college students who opted for this denim blue regular fit around the waist and soon the college culture entered the workplaces & the popularity of the trend introduced local labels like Wings. The Thai label HARA was the next body hugging jeans but before the local labels could establish the presence, the mighty 1991 liberalization took the front stage & Arvind mills- the biggest supplier of Denim cloth to global brand Levis & Wrangler became the trusted supplier of readymade Jeans for global & local customer.

But too much customization of jeans like stone wash, acid wash, fading etc. has lead to environmental problems & like every problem is under the scanner of scientists, a new polymer with nanotechnology is being converted to a laundry additive to be mixed with detergents that will stick with the fiber of clothes & would react with air & light & break down harmful air emissions like nitrogen oxides & neutralize it. It is Not too far when jean wearer would help to clean the dirty air around by simply wearing jeans washed with additive to save the environment.
