Have you ever seen the iconic denim and leather biker flick The Wild One? Us neither! Listen along as we experience it for the first time.

Bikers, beatniks, and broken American repression, oh my! This episode of denim history delves into the fabric's transgressive roots in the postwar era.

Part pseudo-yearbook, part voyeuristic fan fiction, we talk about the story and legacy of the Japanese classic Take Ivy with author David Marx.

Our podcast series on the history of denim continues as we explore the role of jeans in the Great Depression and the New Deal programs to end it.

Denim goes national as we see the rise of Lee and Blue Bell to compete with the growing western behemoth of Levi's in this week's episode.
