The blue jeans did not have the admiration of everyone at the beginning. They were initially used as working clothes for sailors, miners and cowboys. Their history begins now more than 500 years in Italy, in Genoa. Blue-jeans comes from the French “blue of Genes” syntagm, “Genoese Blue”, a fabric of wool and cotton. The denim fabric, from which jeans are made, appears in France in the late 16th century. Here was used a fabric called “Serge de Nîmes”, meaning “cloth in the city of Nîmes”. This material came from a mistake, the French want to imitate the serge, an Italian material. The difference between them is that the denim is weaved from a colored and white thread, and jeans of two threads of the same color.
Levi Strauss, a Jewish merchant from Germany, arrived in New York in 1847, where his stepbrother was doing business with fabrics and clothes. Jacob Davis, a Jewish tailor in Latvia, was one of Levi Strauss’s collaborators. He added in 1872 some metal targets to the pockets of these pants for more resistance. Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented their product on May 20, 1873. This is the official date of birth of jeans pants.
