But over the course of the 20th century, as the demand for jeans has gone up, their durability has gone down. Today, most pairs last no longer than a year. And each new pair you buy has a much higher cost than you might think. Madhavi Venkatesan traces the life cycle of jeans. [Directed by Sofia Pashaei, narrated by Pen-Pen Chen, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].\n
