History of blue jeans

Here are a few tidbits on the history of blue Jeans. They were first used in Genoa, Italy and were made for the Genoese Navy since folks needed pants that could work both wet and dry. Also, the pants needed to be flexible enough to be rolled up to the knee for swimming and for working on deck.

History of Jeans continued...

Hence the first version of jeans were born.

The word jeans? This comes from the word Genoa.Interestingly enough, the first denim came from Nimes, France i.e “de Nimes”, and this was the root for the word “denim”.

Jeans did not take off here in the U.S until 1853, when Levi Strauss headed to San Francisco to open a west coast branch of his brothers' New York dry goods business. Jacob Davis was one of Levi Strauss’ favorite customers, and the men shared a great camaraderie.Jacob mentioned to Levi that one of his customers frequently purchased cloth to fix torn blue jeans and Jacob came up with the idea to use copper rivets to reinforce the jeans.

Jacobs asked Levi if he would like to go into business together to patent the idea (Levi had the cash) and hence the Levi Straus jeans and the legend that the name conjures, was born.

The patent from the United States Patent office was 139,121, a number that goes down in the history for jeans geeks everywhere :- )

There’s a quick summary of the history of blue jeans.Arguably the single most popular article of clothing ever created.By the way, you’ve come to the right spot for your blue jeans fix.We have quite a few of them that you just might like.
