Brunette Girl Undresses Her White Top And Blue Jeans At The Window

At the same time, denim trousers were made in Chieri, a town near Turin, during the Renaissance and were popularized in the 19th century. These trousers were sold through the harbor Genoa, which was the capital the independent Republic Genoa which was long an important naval and trading power. The Genoese Navy required all-purpose trousers for its sailors that could be worn while swabbing the deck and the denim material met this need. These trousers were laundered by dragging them in nets behind the ship, and the sea water and sun would gradually bleach them to white.
Riveted jeans
Dry goods merchant Levi Strauss was selling blue jeans under the "Levi's" brand to the mining communities California in the 1850s. One Strauss' customers was Jacob Davis, a tailor who frequently purchased bolts cloth from the Levi Strauss & Co. wholesale house. After one Davis' customers kept buying cloth to reinforce torn pants, he had an idea to use copper rivets to reinforce the points strain, such as on the pocket corners and at the top the button fly. Davis did not have the required money to purchase a patent, so he wrote to Strauss suggesting that they both go into business together. After Strauss accepted Davis's fer, the two men received U.S. Patent 139,121, for an "Improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings," on May 20, 1873.
