Why We Love Our Blue Jeans
Everyone loves blue jeans. They are comfortable, durable, inexpensive,
and seem to never go out of fashion. One of the great things about
jeans is that they can be worn in almost any situation. They can be
worn when performing household chores, for lounging around the home,
for working at the office, for evenings out, and especially for
informal gatherings of all kinds. Many celebrities even wear jeans
when appearing on talk shows. There's good reason for the expression
"you can live in your jeans".
Who originally created jeans?
There is no one "inventor" of jeans. Believe it or not, they evolved
over a long period of more than 400 years. They started out as
versatile and rugged pants worn by sailors and turned into the
everyday uniform now worn by millions of people around the world.
Jeans are made of denim which is a durable woven cotton fabric that
appeals to most people. There are many reasons: denim has long-lasting
durability, it is comfortable, it comes in varying hues, it is
versatile and it is not terribly expensive. Denim jeans can be worn
for hard physical labor, out to dinner, or any type of activity in
between.
The name "dungaree" comes from Dongarii Fort, an area on the outskirts
of the Indian city of Bombay, where the material was produced and
sold. It was usually dyed with blue indigo dye creating the
distinctive blue colour that exists to this day. This distinctive
dungaree cloth was first used by sailors on Portuguese sailing ships.
They wore it in their travels around the world and introduced it to
Europe.
By the 1600s a similar cloth was being woven in France near the city
of Nimes where it was called "serge". The name "serge de Nimes" was
soon shortened to "denim", and the rest is history.
These distinctive denim pants becamed known as "jeans" because of
their connection to the port of Genoa in Italy. In the 17th and 18th
centuries Genoa was a major naval base and their navy was outfitted
with blue denim uniforms. They became known as "jeans" because the
French word for Genoa is "Genes" and the pants became identified with
the Genovese Navy. The durable denim clothes were ideal for sailors
who essentially had to live in their clothes 24 hours a day. The jeans
were ideal for any environment and could be cleaned by dragging them
behind the ship in a fishing net.
Hey! What could be more convenient than that?
