Exercise6: Choose the best answer Jeans are the most popular kind of clothing in the world. They are popular almost everywhere and with everybody. They are considered not just practical but very fashionable as well. But what you know about the history of jeans? Who made the first jeans? In 1850 Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco. Strauss came to sell canvas, a heavy fabric used for tents, to gold miners. One day Strauss saw that miners needed strong clothes for work. Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants. These pants were very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very popular immediately. Later Strauss wanted to make his pants even better, so he started making his pants from cotton cloth that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called ‘denim’ (from de Nimes). Denim was popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails of his ships. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pants. The word ‘jeans’ comes from the word ‘Genoa’.
