Sandblasting, laser finishing and general stuff about the production of jeans from crop to shop!

I use this clip a lot to show various different things to A-level and GCSE students so I though I would share it with you.

It has some excellent information about denim finishes from about 9 minutes in and clearly shows the production line and cotton crop processing etc.

Then you could follow it with a bit of this video about the ethical issues around buying sandblasted denim which can be extremely hazardous to the people working the factories.

I find its always good to make the cross links through the differnt sections of the specification, particularly for those A2 questions.
