Description
The US was once the biggest denim manufacturer in the world. But after decades of competition from cheaper foreign factories, the country that popularized jeans has lost almost every denim mill. We went inside Mount Vernon Mills, one of the oldest factories left in the US, to find out how it has made it this far. We also toured Crescent Bahuman, a high-tech facility in Pakistan, to see what it takes for American companies to compete with mass producers abroad.
