First, why is it called ' Jeans' ? The pair name - Jeans and Denim originated from the names of two sea ports in Europe , which provided two similar fabrics in the Middle Ages. Gene raw cotton fabric is a synthetic fiber imported from Genoa. Denim fabric (then called Serge de Nîmes ) originated from France. Both fabrics are then used to produce men's clothing because of their durability and durability even after repeated washing.

By the time of the 18th century gold rush, gold digging was a very hard work and mainly worked in the forest so the workers' clothes were often very fast to tear, requiring great clothes. In 1873 Bavarian businessman Levi Strauss collaborated with Latvian tailor Jacob Davis to produce indigo rag clothes and studs.
