Production Line

This is a well-known poster of levi’s in 1897.

There is an opinion that each seamstress was sewing the one jeans by themselves at that time (one-man production). However, judging from this picture, it figured out that they were taking a line production system. You can see a pile of jeans next to a seamstress. If she had to make whole jeans only by herself, １or 2 jeans are the maximum to make in a day. The pile of jeans proves to us that she was just working on her part which in charge.

Line production is much faster to make jeans than one-man production, but instead, jeans lose their uniqueness. It may be that you can’t know unless you work at a denim factory.

　有名な1897年のLevi’s社のポスターです。まだこの頃は丸縫い（製品を一人で全部縫う）をしていたという説もありますが、写真よりライン生産であったと考えます。ライン生産は自分担当の箇所を縫って横にある箱に出来上がったピースを入れていくんです。写真では同じピースが積み重なってますね。丸縫いだと1日にせいぜい1-2本しか縫えませんから、こんなに積み重なることはないんです。
ライン生産は一人で丸縫いするよりずっと早く出来上がるのですが、効率重視のため個性のない製品になってしまいます。デニム工場で働いていないとわからない部分かもしれませんね。
