The well-known Turkish denim manufacturer ORTA<\/a>, celebrated its 70th anniversary last year teams up with Wouter Munnichs<\/a>, founder of online denim magazine Long John and freelance denim specialist for brands and retail, to create the biggest sustainable pair of blue jeans ever made. This huge collaboration jeans will be on display at denim fabric trade show Bluezone<\/a> in Munich, Germany on the 23rd and 24th of January, 2024.<\/p>\n

This January, ORTA and Long John will join forces in a very special jeans collaboration. Together they developed the biggest sustainable jeans ever produced to set a new milestone within the denim industry. This display jeans is made with a waist size 133 and a total length of around 4,5 meters. For the inspiration of this collaboration jeans, they looked at the past when huge display jeans were made as a promotion for a denim brand. These originals were used to showcase a jeans brand in a unique and unmissable way in front of retailers and at rodeo events in the West of America from the 1920\u2019s onwards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Showcasing the new sustainable denim fabric<\/h3>\n

The idea of making something that stands out came when ORTA developed a new sustainable denim fabric with code 4853A, colored Steel Blue. This rigid 2\/1 Z twill denim fabric weighs 10.6 oz and is made with a composition of 80% better cotton + 20% post-consumer recycled cotton. The fibers as well as the fabric were all manufactured in Turkey locally. As a long partner of ORTA, Long John sat down with the ORTA to think about a way they could present this innovative denim fabric that can\u2019t be missed by each visitor of the Bluezone trade show in Munich. Soon, they were thinking of creating this enormous pair of jeans.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for the display jeans<\/h3>\n

The design of the ORTA x Long John display jeans is inspired on the original miner jeans that were worn during the kick-off of the so-called \u2018Gold Rush\u2019 period around 1850 in California, USA. During this period, many people from all over the world came to California when gold was discovered in the mines. To get the job done, a sturdy and durable pair of blue jeans was needed. This is seen by many as the kick-off of the history of denim. The rest is history.<\/p>\n

The ORTA x Long John display jeans is produced with an eye for detail, just like the originals. Key detail features on this pair are included such as one back pocket, a cinch back, suspender buttons on the waistband, and even a crotch rivet on the front. Also, for this display pair, a huge hangtag is produced, the same as a back patch from sustainable cotton fabric showing both ORTA and Long John logos.<\/p>\n

Displayed at Bluezone<\/h3>\n

The biggest sustainable jeans ever produced by ORTA x Long John will be showcased for the very first time at the denim fabric trade show Bluezone in Munich on the 23rd and 24th of January. Don\u2019t miss this chance to get yourself photographed in front of this big 133-sized pair of blue jeans.<\/p>\n

Alongside the Biggest Sustainable Jeans, a regular pair of jeans in size 31 will be displayed to show the relationship between the two. In addition, a limited edition giveaway will be made from the same denim fabric, so you can take home a piece of this milestone as a souvenir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
