Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans;

these trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also called

levis or denims, jeans have an interesting story.

The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants

developed. In the 16

century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of cotton

trousers. In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is

Genes, this name became attached to the trousers and developed into the word jeans.

Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the

17

century, French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth

that was developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes. This

name eventually developed into denim, the material which jeans are made and an

alternative name for these popular pants.

The word levis came from a person. In the 19

century, Levis Strauss tried to sell

heavy canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He

intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first

attemp was a failure but he later found success when he used the canvas to make

indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue

denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him and is now referred to by his

name.
