World's first paper made jeans
The world's first 100% paper-made jeans will set you back US$5,400. The jeans is made through Japanese paper by the company called Japan Pulp & Paper (JPP) based in Tokyo. The jeans is to be sold as collector's item at around US $5,400 and the company aims to produce only 10 pairs of the jeans.
JPP has used denim made out from Washi, which is a Japanese paper that’s tougher than general paper usually used outside Nippon. The denim is then used to produce jeans, which can be worn & washed just like existing jeans. Reportedly, JPP has promised a smooth feeling & good thermal insulation for wearers. Using Washi to produce clothes is not that uncommon in Japan, where it has been the basis of socks & underwears in the past.

Tommy Hilfiger jeans
Tommy Hilfiger is a brand of clothes established by US based fashion designer Thomas Jacob Hilfiger. Thomas was born and raised in Elmira, New York. The second of eight children, he grew up in an Irish American family and claims direct descent from Scotland's national Bard Robert Burns. His parents originally intended for him to be an engineer. He attended Elmira Free Academy for high school. Rather than furthering his education, he started to work in retail at the age of 18. Hilfiger would go to New York City to buy jeans and bell-bottom pants, which he customized and resold at a local downtown Elmira store, Brown's.
He later opened his own store, named The People's Place, around the block in downtown Elmira. Although the store was a hot spot for teens with frequent contests and live DJ appearances, there were often more people hanging out than shopping. Over the years, a number of stores closed in downtown Elmira as shopping traffic shifted to the new Arnot Mall in Horseheads, New York. It wasn't long before The People's Place became another casualty. After seven years, The People's Place went bankrupt, when Hilfiger was 25. The site of the original store has since been demolished to make room for First Arena, home of the Elmira Jackals Hockey team. Some of the products of Tommy Hilfiger:
