In 2001, one month before 9-11, the employees of Levi Strauss Edmonton, embarked on a mission to create the largest pair of jeans in the world.
The style of the jeans were 501 and had an inseam of 93 feet.
The waist button was the size of a car steering wheel.
The construction and size was confirmed and authenticated by Leroy Lafeche of Lafleche tailors of Edmonton.
On August 3rd 2001, the jeans were hoisted using a crane and inflated with large balloons.
They were set up in the parking lot adjacent to Commonwealth stadium in time for the opening ceremonies of the IAAF world championships in athletics.
Some 488 people were involved in this project.
This was the largest authentic pair of jeans at the time and for a few years we held the Guiness world record.
The record has since been broken several times.
It was a fun project to be involved in and memory that will remain with many.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
