A bit of history on Blue Jeans
In fashion history, jeans and the history of denim continue to be a mystery. No one knows the perfect answer to where jeans actually began. It appears jeans came about and emerge in various parts of the world at the same time... As the result of the sudden availability of a new fabric, and dye technique.
We do know the phrase denim jeans is thought to derive from several sources. The majority of sources suggest that denim derives from the English translation of the South of France French phrase "Serge de Nîmes". Serge de Nimes is a fabric which was originally produced in France, the fabric is a mix of wool and silk, which results in heavy twill cloth. A version of this twill was also made locally in England, and was called by the same name of denim. Denim was considered a hard wearing sturdy fabric, ideal for heavy laboring, which resulted in manufactures' first using denim to provide the laborer with work clothes.
The nickname " jeans" is thought to have come from " Genoa Italy". " Genoese" was the name for Italian sailors who when at sea dressed in blue fustian fabric, which was composed of a cotton and wool or linen blend. Genoa imported this very sturdy fabric to England as far back as the 16th century.
Jean's history would be nothing without "Levi Strauss." Here in the United States Strauss is credited with the invention of the blue jean. Levi Strauss emigrated with his family to New York in 1847. His father sold dry goods, such as canvas tenting, and Manchester drapery goods. Levi moved to San Francisco in the early 1850's thinking, he could make a living selling dry goods to minors. The California gold rush was on, and there was money to be made.
Some 20 years later, a wealthy Levi Strauss, and a Nevada tailor joined forces to patent , and produce overall's for men that labored for a living. The overall's were sturdy, and well wearing, rivets were added on stress points of the overalls, to make the pants almost non- destructible. It is thought that at this time the workers began to call the overalls," Jean". Levi Strauss chose to use the stronger denim fabric and cotton duck, adding his own name to the products back pocket. Later the duck fabric was dropped, due to the consumers finding denim more comfortable, and easier to launder. Although washing did make the fabric fade, the jeans were faster drying. Little did the first men to wear blue jeans know, that the fading process would become a trait of blue jeans, that we all so love today.
The humble origins of the work jeans produced by Levi Strauss have come a long way. Status seems to now drive purchasing of jeans. There are so many brands of jeans being produced today, I would have a hard go of it to list them. The market place offers a wide variety of jeans, all coming at different prices. You can find designer jeans, which can be costly, but you will also find brands such as "Levi" that is remaining economical.
