History of Levi Strauss
Levi Strauss is the Inventor of Denim Jeans. History would be nothing without Levi Strauss. Levi Strauss is credited with inventing jeans. He moved to San Francisco in the early 1850s because he thought the same dry goods business would be brisk because of the California gold rush.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 workman's waist high overalls commonly known as jeans.

Levi Strauss chose to use the stronger denim fabric and cotton , putting his own name on the product. 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. Other manufacturers began to produce jeans and other brand names such as Lee Coopers and Wranglers also became famous. Each brand is renowned for having a particular cut. Film Stars Influence Denim Jeans in the 1950s. Jeans fashion history was truly made in the 1950s when film stars wore it in movies that the teenagers of the day followed with avid interest.For many years jeans were only used as work wear clothes, but by the 1940s they were considered leisure wear in America.

Once film stars like Elvis Presley, James Dean, and Marlon Brando wore them they became desirable in the 1950s and are associated with rock and roll and pop music. Later in the 1960s, jean brands old and new were worn universally in the western world.

In the 1970s individuals began to really personalize flared bell bottom versions of jeans with bells up the sides of flared jean's legs. Floral and embroidery, metal eyelets and studs were all popular forms of decoration. Jeans were a great hit with flower people and the hippie revolution.

Jeans were the only uniform to wear to a 1970's pop concert. Jeans never seemed to die as individuals would cut off the legs to make shorts, then short shorts or even duffel bags using a cord to draw up the waist loops.
