Blue jeans classic wear started as tough

work durables borne out of a wrong move

Brought to the Gold Rush as shelter materials

for miners but remained unsold initially

When converted to work clothes as tough

pants it became an instant hit. In 1873 Levis

created a riveted-for-strength work wear

made of blue denim. They were granted a

patent. This was how the blue jeans was born

It was a great improvisation and it had

not  looked back since

Sometime in the early 50’s it was accepted

as casual wear and it retained respectability

In the 60’s youngsters had the choice of a

slim fit pair and blue gave way to white jeans

But young and old were all worked up in the

80’s when in a sultry voice Brook Shields said

in a commercial,

 ‘you know what comes between me and my
Calvin? Nothing!’
