Taller than the Tower of Pisa????

 


The world's largest pair of jeans has been unveiled in China - and the supersized clothing item is taller than the Tower of Pisa

The gigantic denim claimed the record on 28 September when it was put on display in Fumian, Guangxi, China.

The jeans stretch an impressive 76.34 m in length and have a waist circumference of 58.164 m.

To help you picture the size, the height of the jeans falls between the Tower of Pisa in Italy (55 m) and the Statue of Liberty, including the pedestal (93).

Made from 5.5 km of fabric, the zipper is 7.8-m-long and the stainless steel button has a massive 1.2-m-diameter and a weight of 3.6 tons.

Before this, the largest pair of jeans measured 65.50 m tall and 42.70 wide, and was achieved by Paris Perú (Peru), in Lima, Peru, on 19 February 2019.

Crafted entirely by Yixing Textile Co., Ltd. in Yulin City, the entire process - from design and weaving to cutting and sewing - was completed independently.

It took 18 days and involved over 30 skilled garment workers to bring this piece of art to life.
