An entertaining story of the word "jeans"

The history of the word "jeans" goes back to 19century, when the colonization of American lands grew into a world emigration. Many talented artisans and inventors went to the golden country for their dream. Among them was the son of the Jewish tailor Levi Strauss, who arrived in San Francisco for gold mines, without a penny in his soul.

At that time, hard workers, digging trenches andneeding strong clothing, languishing in the heat in woolen pants. Others were easy to tear to shreds or difficult to wash. Here is where the story of the word "jeans" originates.

The fabric from which the first jeans trousers were sewed,was intended for workers' tents. However, the model was so successful that sewing began on an industrial scale. The color of "indigo" was permanently entrenched in jeans, and Levi Strauss organized to this day a successful transnational corporation.

The history of the word "jeans" has become associated withreliability, style and success. Cowboys and gold miners long figured in advertising these products. Such jeans were also remembered for Soviet students, in the wardrobe of which they began to enter the seventies. No matter how the party tried to eradicate jeans, they proved immortal and each year only gained popularity, remaining even today the most common and universal clothing.

By the way, the first jeans 150 years ago were worth neithermuch less than 1.46 dollars. As the history of the word "jeans" tells, this clothing was intended for wearing money, watches and knives, so it was sewn in the form of a coveralls.

What is happening today? Designers experiment with styles, colors and accessories so that you can not distinguish the original jeans from the other trousers: there are puffs, leggings, and sports models.

Incidentally, in the composition of the first tissue fiberhemp threads, which gave the products strength. However, cotton eventually became the only raw material for the production of denim. We can distinguish the following types of fabrics, from which jeans are sewn:

• Denim is an original expensive fabric that is white on the underside and is washed over time.
• Shambri - cheaper, with a synthetic vertical insert.
• Gene - budgetary material, evenly colored.
• Stretch Cotton - stretch fabric of different colors.

But there's no point in talking about styles, now everyonethe designer sees them in different ways. Someone introduces shortened models into fashion, someone, on the contrary, gives preference to the "male" landing. Over time, all the same, the main types of jeans emerged:

- regular fit - the very five-classic classics with which Levi Strauss conquered the world;

- easy fit - fitting in the hips, slightly narrowed to the bottom;

- relaxed fit - free landing, possible flap from the hip;

- skinny - tight, tight-fitting;

- low waist - trousers with a low waist;

- baggy - very wide or baggy pants, a kind of which are female boyfriend fit jeans, repeating the man's style;

- Djegins - something in between stretch jeans and leggings.

Now there are a lot of variations with prints, laces, metal rivets. At least one pair of jeans simply must be in the wardrobe of any person.
