    Formal wear in cotton and linen fabrics.We had the opportunity to chat with the proud Owner of  RETRO BLUE at Ameet Enterprises’

    Owner’ Mahesh Rewachand Khanna  and his enthusiastic son  Ameet  takes great pride in saying “ask any group of people why they wear jeans and you will get a range of answers.

    For some they’re comfortable, durable and easy – for others they’re sexy and cool. Jeans mean different things to different people. Does this explain their wide appeal ?

    Mahesh Khanna    says “In every country we surveyed- from the Philippines to Turkey, India and Brazil  the first 100 people to walk by, and in each we found that almost half the population wore jeans on any given day.

    Jeans are everywhere, says Mahesh Khanna, with the exception of rural tracts of India and South Asia.

    The reason for their success has as much to do with their cultural meaning as their physical construction.

    In a mood to picturise the Denim story Mr Khanna asks “Why does Jeans sell ?” “Because the denim changed as it aged and the way it wore reflected people’s lives.” Because of its fading quality, denim was sold raw – unwashed and untreated – and by the beginning of the 20th Century workers began to realise they could shrink the  trousers to a more comfortable fit

    Not only were they more durable but each pair of jeans began to tell the story of the worker and his work.

    Mr Khanna   is enthusiastic with his part of the denim story and he explains “Jeans are the most personal thing you can wear,” “They wear to the body.”But the initial explosion of denim into the world of casual wear had more to do with what jeans had come to symbolise. Before World War II jeans were only worn in America’s Western states.

    In the east they were synonymous with romantic notions of the cowboy – rugged, independent and American, but at the same time rural and working class

    Affluent easterners would escape humdrum suburban life to holiday on “dude ranches” – working farms where they could play at being cowboys – and wearing jeans was part of the experience.

    Mr Khanna  adds  “When they did start to be worn as casual wear, it was a startling symbol of rebellion – the spirit captured by Marlon Brando in his 1953 film The Wild One and by James Dean two years later in Rebel Without a Cause.

    The Khanna’s are very clear about their fundamentals at the Joban Fashions’ and they felt they followed the basic rules
