When you look at today’s world of fashion, it’s hard to believe that denim has been around so long and still remains so popular.
It was a Bavarian textile trader called Levi Strauss who first invented jeans in the 1870s. He had travelled to the American west coast as part of his haberdashery and textile trading business and met several gold diggers. He noticed their torn clothing and realised they needed a durable textile with lots of pockets for their tools. Blue cotton denim had been invented in Nimes almost a century before, and this is where the term denim derives from – de Nimes.
In 1873 Jacob W. Davis, who was a tailor in Nevada, made a pair of rivet-reinforced denim pants – the first on their kind. Levi Strauss had been supplying him with bolts of denim, but because of the popularity of the jeans, Jacob Davis moved his production to Levi Strauss’s facilities when he ran out of room.
Today denim and jeans remain a popular choice for style and durability.
