A student from Galashiels has invented a special pair of jeans- made from wood.
Dawn Ellams, a PHD researcher at Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, made the jeans from sustainable wood fibres instead of cotton.
The jeans feel like ordinary cotton, but require much less water, energy and chemicals than standard jeans.
They also look like the real thing, as Dawn also deisgned a stone-washed digital effect to visually create a denim look on the textile.
Her research and development of the jeans has highlighted key areas where manufacturers can save on water and carbon emissions.
