Inventors of Jeans
There have been different tales about where jeans came from more than a century ago, both Levi Strauss and Nevada tailor Jacob Davis are mentioned in stories and records. Strauss is universally recognized as the inventor of Jeans – people even call him “Mr. Jeans”.
The first pair of Jeans
At the height of the Gold Rush in San Francisco, Strauss found people complaining that cotton britches and pockets “split right out”. So he came up with the idea of making rugged overalls from canvas he originally brought over to sell as tent cloth. Everyone was satisfied with their new trousers!
The word “Jeans”
It is widely believed that the name “jeans” comes from :Genoese:, a tough uniform worn by sailors in the Italian port city of Genova. “Jean” is from the Italian word “da Genova”.
In 1926, Lee created the first zipped Jeans. While the jeans were zipped in front, women’s jeans were zipped at the side. Fifty years later, Lee Cooper revolutionized women’s jeans by zipping them in the front.
