Denim, originating from iconic jean designs in the mid-1800s, became the fabric of choice for American workers, and later transitioned to leisurewear. This selection of 250 images from the Farm Security Administration archive showcases ordinary workers donning denim and captures the rugged, patriotic spirit of the time. The photos, scanned from original negatives, offer a modern look at the fabric's details and are curated from an archive of over 170,000 images.
