Resources The Denim Dictionary is a collaboration between Tenue de Nîmes and Centraal Museum. The aim was to provide a comprehensive as possible list of blue jeans terminology. Although great care was taken to obtain accurate dates and years, resources frequently provide contradictive information. The following sources were used to compile this dictionary: – Blu/blue jeans, Il blu populare, Milan, 1989 – The Denim Bible, Sportswear International, 2006 – Denim: From Cowboys to Catwalk, Paul Trynka & Graham Marsh, 2005 – Histoires du jeans 1750-1994, Paris, 1994 – ‘Blue Denim by the Bay: The Levi Strauss & Co. Archives’, in: Costume, 2009, no 43 – Textiellexicon, verklarend weeftechnisch woordenboek, Amsterdam, 1991 – The Denim Bible, Sportswear International, 2006

The issue is illustrated by The Things We Are (Joost Stokhof) who works as an independent illustrator from Utrecht, The Netherlands. Most of his time Stokhof spends on applied and self-initiated projects capturing at least something of his collection of 6-B pencils, gum, paper, old foot books, glue markers and left-handed scissors. www.thethingsweare.com
