THE NUMBERS

What it takes…
75,000

There’s a lot more to the Roots denim jean than meets the eye. Take the material it’s made from, for example. Known in the business as yarn, a lot of it goes into the making of each of those pants. If a Roots denim jean was fully unraveled and the yarn placed end to end, it would measure approximately 75,000 yards in length, equal to 625 American football fields.
