In 1885 jeans could be bought in the US for $1.50 (approximately $36 today). Today, an equivalent pair jeans can be purchased for around $30 to $50, but more stylish pairs can cost much more. Many brands jeans are currently available for much less.
In popular culture
Initially, jeans were simply sturdy trousers worn by workers, especially in the factories during World War II. During this period, men's jeans had the zipper down the front, whereas women's jeans had the zipper down the right side. By the 1960s, both men's and women's jeans had the zipper down the front. Historic photographs indicate that in the decades before they became a staple fashion, jeans generally fit quite loosely, much like a pair bib overalls without the bib. Indeed, until 1960, Levi Strauss denominated its flagship product "waist overalls" rather than "jeans".
