Well he can't say that now. Look, let's

Josie told me about a ..25.. where you can get the cheapest jeans in town. Hey, that's

her own jeans ..29.. now. With a

Lesson 13 No sweat?

Jeans are
..1.. , ..2.. and they look good. All the ..3.. designers bring out each ..4.. ..5.. fashions in denim, and we all
want them. Denim jeans have changed since Levi Strauss first made them for
workers because they were ..6.. and ..7.. longer. They're not just for work any more: we've had skinny,
baggy … all ..8.. of jeans. But
what is the real ..9.. of your
jeans?
At XOL,
we believe that fashion workers all over the world should have the same
conditions that we have here in Britain. The picture on this page
is from Zhongshan, a town at the centre of China's jeans industry. Remember
these faces the next time you're looking for cheap deals. Join our campaign
for fairer fashion!
