Levi Strauss could not think that he would make a new fashion when he started his
business career.
In 1853 he arrived in California from New York. He intended to sell strong canvas (pieces
of cloth) to miners to make tents. However, Levi Strauss found that the miners needed
hard wearing pants. So he took his canvas to a local tailor and asked him to make several
pairs of pants. Miners used to put gold ore into their pockets, so Levi decided to make
each pocket stronger with cooper rivets. They were a great success because the miners
loved them. When Levi ran out of canvas, his brothers sent him a new fabric called denim.

Denim was a soft, durable fabric, which was more comfortable and easier to wear than
canvas.
Jeans were important to the people of the nineteenth century, especially farmers,
cowhands, railroad workers, and miners. This was because they were so strong and didn’t
wear out easily. So people who didn’t make a lot of money didn’t have to continually buy
new pants.
But only until mid 20th century did the teenagers turn jeans into fashionable wear. Jeans
were considered sexy, dangerous and worn by romantic cowboys and Hollywoi And so,
the workwear for miners of the last century has become a fashion phenomen<

Which of the following can be the main idea of the passage?

workwear were
