Jeans
Jeans have become one of the most worn pieces of clothing in the world. Everybody wears them, from the rural to the urban lawyer and from models to housewives, But why have jeans become so popular. You'll get many answers. For some people they the look cool, for others jeans are simply comfortable.
Jeans were first designed as durable trousers for farm workers and miners in the states of the American west. A Nevada tailor, Jacob Davis, had the idea of using copper bolts at the corner of the pockets to make then stronger. They became popular instantly and soon people bought them.
Although Davis knew that he had a great product which many people wanted to buy, he didn't have the money to patent it. He asked Levi Strauss, Who supplied him with cloth, to help him out. The two worked together and started making jeans out of denim, which was more comforttable and could be easily stretched. It also became softer as it got older. They were dyed with indigo because it did not go through the cloth like other dyes do.
At first jeans were worn only by workers, especislly in factories. In the eastern part of the US jeans were hardly worn at all. They associated with rural people and the wotking class. But when rich easterners went on holidays to escape everyday lift they often put on jeans.
