A young man from Germany named Levi Strauss arrived in California in 1850. He went there to
sell things to the miners. He saw that the miners needed strong pants, so he began to make them. He used
cloth that people made tents from. He put rivets on the pockets to make them strong because the men put
rocks in their pockets. These pants were very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very
popular immediately.
Later Mr. Strauss started making jeans from cotton cloth from Nimes, France. People called this
cloth denim. Denim was popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails
of his ships. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pant. The words “jeans” comes from the word “Genoa”.

Mr. Strauss made the first jeans in the United States, but the idea and the kind of cloth came from
Europe. The names came from France and Italy.
Jeans were always blue until recently. People used indigo to dye them. Indigo is the oldest dye in
the world. Most jeans have blue threads going across and white threads going up and down. These two

colors make denim look different from other kinds of cloth.
