I know this is a well done joke but back in the 80's and 90's, even the early 2000's, denim jeans and all things denim were sold as rares or on the black market because of how rare denim was at that time.

You can see this in any country that was trying to dismantle the western influence during times of unrest in similar subsequent countries. Denim itself isn't that interesting if you don't know the history of it.

Denim wasn't halal at one point in time. Just goes to show how even strict, tradition enriched religions like Islam or Muslim changes their rules over time

I would recommend starting with Russia (former Soviet Union) and their black market denim from the 1950's until the 90's. It's really interesting and was highly illegal. It was crazy the lengths people went through to wear denim lol
