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 and in diverse situations. Also called Levi’s or denims, jeans have an
interesting history, one that is intermixed with the derivations of the words
5 jeans, denims, and Levi’s.
The word “jeans” is derived from the name of the place where a
similar style of pants developed. In the sixteenth century, sailors from Genoa,
Italy, wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers. In a French language, the
word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes; this
10 name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from
this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the
descendants of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place
name. In the seventeen century, French tailors began making trousers out of a
15 specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France, and
was known as serge de Nimes. This name for the cloth underwent
transformations, and it eventually developed into today's denim, the material
from which jeans are made and an alternate name for these popular pants.
While the word “Levi’s” actually came from the name of a person rather
20 than a place. In the nineteenth century, immigrant Levi Strauss came to
America and tried his hand at selling heavy canvas to miners taking part in
the hunt for gold in northern California. Strauss intended for this canvas to
be used by mine to make heavy-duty tents. This first endeavor was a failure,
but Strauss later found success when he used the heavy canvas to make
25 indestructible pants for the miners. Levi’s then switched the fabric from
brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him
and today is referred to by his name. A modern-day urban shopper out to
buy some Levi’s is searching for a close relative of the product that Strauss
had developed years earlier.
