4 :: Who is considered the inventor of denim jeans, as we know them today?

Jeans history would be nothing without Levi Strauss. Levi Strauss is credited with inventing jeans. Levi Strauss immigrated with his family to New York in 1847. He moved to San Francisco in the early 1850s and about 20 years later a solvent Levi Strauss and a Nevada tailor joined forces to patent an idea the tailor had for putting rivets on stress points of worker’s waist high overalls commonly known as jeans. Levi Strauss chose to use the stronger denim fabric and cotton duck, and putting his own name on the product.

Later the duck fabric was dropped as consumers found denim more comfortable, particularly after washing creating the faded bloom on the indigo blue dyeing that we all love. Eventually in the 1950s, people asked for denim jeans or just as often - Levi's jeans rather than waist overalls. Other manufacturers began to produce jeans and other brand names such as Lee Coopers and Wranglers became famous. Each brand is renowned for having a particular cut.
