Did you know the average American has 7 pairs of blue jeans? Did you know they never go out of style? Author of Jeans: A Cultural History of an American Icon (used to make the film Riveted: The History of Jeans), Professor James Sullivan joined me to talk about, well... the history of blue jeans. They are the blue, in America's red, white, and blue.
