VI. READING: Levi's Blue Jeans
Do you enjoy wearing Levi's blue jeans? Blue jeans have become
popular all over the world, but do you know how they got started?
Read on to find out
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in the mid 1800's and emigrated to
the United States as a young man. He lived in New York City and
learned the dry-goods business for several years. In 1853 he took his
knowledge and his dreams to San Francisco (California., USA.) His
dream to succeed came true over the next 20 years as he became a
very successful businessman.
Many of Levi Strauss' customers were cowboys and miners. They
needed clothing that was strong and durable. Strauss found a special
fabric from France that was comfortable and lasted a long time. It was

called "serge de Nimes," which was later shortened to the word
denim.
Another man named Jacob Davis bought large amounts of the denim
fabric from Levi Strauss. He was a tailor who made pants for hard-
working men. One of his customers was continually tearing the
Tài liệu bồi dưỡng Tiếng Anh 9 21
pockets off his pants. So Jacob Davis decided to put rivets on certain
parts of the pants to make them stronger. The customer loved the new
pants so much that he told all his friends, and soon Jacob Davis was
busy making lots of pants with rivets.
Jacob Davis soon realized that using rivets was a great business idea,
and he didn't want anybody to steal that idea. He decided that he
would need to get a patent. But being a poor tailor, he didn't have
enough money to pay for the patent. After thinking it over, he went to
the businessman Levi Strauss and told him his idea. He said, "If you
agree to pay for the patent, we will share the profits from the riveted
pants." Levi Strauss did agree, and the new riveted pant business was
called Levi Strauss and Company. Today Levi's jeans are more
popular than ever, and Levi's name continues to live on.
