The History of Jeans

The first jeans were designed by Levi Strauss (1829–1902), who was a German immigrant to the United States. Strauss arrived in San Francisco in 1850, just after gold was discovered there. Strauss decided to make tough trousers to sell to the gold miners. The first pair was made of tent canvas, then strong cotton was imported from France. This cotton was called serge de Nimes in French, and nowadays we call it “denim” (de Nimes). The denim was dyed blue with indigo. In 1873 copper rivets were added to the jeans. Strauss wanted to make the pockets stronger because the miners used to fill them with pieces of rock! The company still makes Levis today.

The first Lee Rider jeans were made in 1924, and the first Wranglers in 1947. until the 1930s jeans were rarely seen east of the Mississippi river. Hollywood westerns made jeans popular. Cowboys wore them in the films, and film stars wore the outside the studios.

At one time jeans were seen as a sign of rebellion against authority. They were worn by stars like James Dean and Marlon Brando, then by the student revolutionaries of the 1960s. Alex Madsen, a fashion writer said, “Jeans were not only clothes; they were clothes-language, instant and eloquent symbols of brotherhood”. Jeans represented freedom.

Nowadays jeans are classless. They are worn by everyone, young and old. (1128)
