Jeans

Jeans are pants, or trousers, made from denim. Denim is a rugged cotton twill textile, in which the weft passes under two (twi- "double") or more warp fibers. This produces the familiar diagonal ribbing identifiable on the reverse of the fabric, which distinguishes denim from cotton duck. Denim was traditionally colored blue with indigo dye to make blue "jeans," Mainly designed for work, they became popular among teenagers starting in the 1950s.

Today, jeans denim are a very popular form of casual dress around the world and come in many styles and colors, with the "blue jeans" particularly identified with the American culture, especially the American Old West. Blue Jeansfabric was made in Chieri, a town near Turin (Italy), in the 1600s.Jeans was sold through the harbour of Genoa, which was the capital of an independent republic, and a naval power. The first jeanswere made for the Genoese Navy because it required all-purpose pants for its sailors that could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could easily be rolled up to wear while swabbing the deck. These jeans would be laundered by dragging them in large mesh nets behind the ship, and the sea water would bleach them white. According to many people the jeans name comes from bleu de Gênes, i.e., blue of Genoa. The raw material originally came from the city of Nîmes (France) Serge de Nîmes i.e. denim.
A German-Jewish dry goods merchant Levi Strauss was selling blue jeans under the "Levi's" name to the mining communities of California in the 1850s. In 1885 jeans could be purchased for $1.50. Today, a good pair of jeans denim can be had for around $100-$200, but some stylish pairs can cost much more.

During the early rise to prominence of designer jeans, in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, it was fairly typical to see fashions for men follow those for women, just as previously women jeans had been the first to wear flared and bell-bottomed trousers. For example, Jordache initially marketed their products to women only, but soon followed with a line for men jeans that was very similar in overall appearance to the women's. Given the general tendency toward bagginess in men's pants today, this male-after-female trend is less noticeable; nevertheless, most jeans denim companies have offered low-rise cuts for men in recent years.

Within a few years of the Jordache launch, dozens of other brands of blue jeans were on the market; among them were:
Sergio Valente,Sassoon,Gloria Vanderbilt,Chic,Calvin Klein,Levi`s,Bonjour,Guess,Wrangler,Diesel.
