Jeans are trousers
traditionally made from denim, but may also be made from
a variety of fabrics particularly including corduroy.
Originally intended for work, they became popular among
teenagers starting in the 1950s. Historic brands include
Levi's, Jordache, and Wrangler. Today jeans are a very
popular form of casual dress around the world and come
in many styles and colors, with the "blue jeans"
particularly identified with the American culture,
especially the American Old West. |
| In the 1850s Levi Strauss, a
German dry goods merchant living in San Francisco, was
selling blue jeans under the "Levi's" name to the mining
communities of California. One of Strauss's customers
was Jacob Davis, a tailor who frequently purchased bolts
of cloth from the Levi Strauss & Co wholesale house. |
| That is an interesting
question setting. Indeed, there is jeans exclusively
American product, but in Europe, the working class is a
semblance of a working pants for tens, if not hundreds
of years before Leeway Stross born. What really made
Stross? He established the first mass production of the
clothing. First, he realized that in the American West,
there is a huge demand for working long pants. The key
was his meeting with tailor named Jacob Davis. This was
not very successful tailor. He bought the company
Strossa tissue. And once he had come to Strossu and
said: "I shyu pants customized and has tried to
strengthen the pockets rivets, which I usually put in
konskie popony. Customers told me that pants with rivets
serve them much longer than pants without rivets. Like,
you think it a good idea? "I Leeway Stross patented the
idea, and Jacob Davis entered the proportion and became
the first garment factory manager of the San Francisco
company. Personal Strossa contribution was that he
started mass production of jeans at the standard model.
It was a novelty. Above each ordered clothes from the
