    Levis Men Jeans On Sale

    Most mammals have a set of baby teeth that eventually fall out and are replaced by adult teeth, which they keep for their entire lives. Elephants are different, however. They go through six sets of large, brick-like teeth that grow in at the back of their mouths and slowly move to the front as they are worn down. The teeth then fall out and are replaced by fresh ones. Do you own a pair of jeans? Seems like a silly question, doesn't it? Jeans have been a casual part of our wardrobe since about the 1950's, and have been a fashionable part of our wardrobe since about the 1970's. Jeans are popularly made of denim these days but in 17th century Europe jean material and denim were very different. Jean material seems to have originated in Genoa, Italy, called "bleu de Genes" in French, and was woven from cotton or linen and sometimes blended with wool. Denim seems to have originated in France and England, named after Nimes, France, and generally called "serge de Nimes." Unlike the jean fabric the early denim was woven of silk and wool. However, the denim fabric used a colored thread and a white thread in the weave, similar to today's denim fabric, while the jean fabric used only colored threads. As time went on the denim material evolved into a cotton twill weave instead of a wool blend, and it retained its characteristic colored warp thread and white fill thread. Its signature blue color became popular when indigo dye was used in the processing. By the 18th century a sail cloth was being made at Dongari Killa near Mumbai, India. The cloth was a coarsely woven, undyed cotton fabric used by various naval sailing vessels. The cloth was often reused by sailors to make clothing such as overalls. Eventually the overalls and pants made from this material became known as dungarees. In the 19th century the California Gold Rush gold miners needed strong pants that did not tear easily. Luckily, a Bavarian-born immigrant named Loeb Strauss obtained his American citizenship and journeyed to San Francisco. He changed his name to Levi and produced some sturdy pants for the gold miners. Eventually he reinforced the pockets and weak points of the pants with copper rivets. In 1873 Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis received a patent for the copper rivet reinforcements and the pants now known as "levis" became popular among working men. In the 1930's and 1940's denim pants grew in popularity. Cowboys gravitated toward them and movie cowboys especially looked good in them. Soldiers during World War II favored wearing denim pants when they were off duty. Factory workers during the era also preferred them. Following the war, rival companies like Wrangler and Lee began to challenge Levi Strauss for a share of the market.

    In the 1950's denim jeans became associated with rebellious young people. James Dean popularized them in the movie, "Rebel Without a Cause." Because denim jeans were identified with non-conformity and rebellion, they were sometimes banned in schools, movie theatres, and restaurants. In the 1960's and 1970's blue jeans became well accepted for casual wear and became part of general fashion. During the period different styles of jeans were created to match the imaginative fashions. Levis Carpenter Women Jeans Cheap
