Jeans distressing machine - GIF

[Jon]

Of course perhaps staged, but still cool. Captioned as: "Chinese grandpa insists on giving girl money to buy new clothes after seeing the holes in her jeans."



This really exemplifies many of the Chinese industrial GIFs we've seen lately. They seem to indicate an obvious technological advance from some of the previous Chinese industrial GIFs we've seen, and certainly in comparison to the GIFs of medieval-like manufacturing in India. Specifically, the Chinese seem to have adopted VERY basic safety procedures, and they're obviously better dressed, often in clean, untorn, dark jeans - the exact type of sturdy and useful pants that are considered uncool in America.

That a person is wearing such jeans, while himself working to intentionally partially destroy jeans for use by wealthier consumers, is telling.
