History of Women in Blue Jeans Days
The origin of jeans can be traced to Genoa, Italy, and Nimes, France, where locals wore them as work clothes and used them as fabric for overgarments. By the early 19th century, jeans had become a prominent clothing material in most parts of the Old World, including Britain, Northern Italy, and France. In 1851, Levi Stauss arrived in New York from Germany to work with his older brothers in their goods stores. Strauss relocated to San Francisco two years later and opened his dry goods wholesale house, Levi Strauss & Co. One of his regular customers was a San Franciscan tailor, Jacob Davis, who usually buys bolts of cloth from him. In 1873, Davis introduced reinforcing pocket corners and button fly bottoms with copper rivets to Strauss. He asked him to partner with him on this invention. They patented the design and started mass producing them in the United States. One of the first fabrics they worked with was the brown cotton duck. However, they later opted for denim fabric due to its sturdiness. During the initial years of production, jeans were mainly worn by laborers, miners, and farmers.
By the 1960s, jeans had become a part of pop culture and gained notoriety as a symbol of rebellious youth and counterculture. They were banned in some high schools, but that only helped improve their popularity. By the end of the 1970s, jeans had become an item of clothing that could be found in everyone’s wardrobe. Despite being around for many years, jeans are still seen as fashion today. They now come in different styles, colors, and prices
