It’s so weird because my dad is from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and he always refers to Jean as dungarees! Now I understand why!

I remember an upholster talking about how to remember the orientation of warp and weft as “weft to right”. I will remember that phrase forever now.

My grandfather managed a denim overall factory in the 1930’s and 40’s in New England. They were “work clothes” back then and my mom would not have been caught dead wearing denim. She said her dad would have been amazed at how everyone wears denim now.✨

When I worked as a historic interpreter for the year 1826, one of my work dresses was denim. I preferred it most days.
