Who was the first person to wear jeans in the world?
The world's first pair of jeans was mass-produced in 1573, Adige, named after the famous Italian river. Italians are easy to remember. At that time, I also borrowed the pants worn by sailors of merchant ships in Genoa, Italy. The trousers produced are also called overalls, mainly in 7 series. 1567 The name of the trousers worn by sailors of merchant ships in Genoa, Italy, is Jie thie or Genoese. The famous name "Jeans" was officially adopted by Levi's Company from 65438+1960s. Before that, people called it "high waist over all", "pants" and (Pantaloons). The biggest difference between Adijie's trousers is that there are straps, and there are three cloth belts under the trouser legs, which is convenient for binding the calves at work and facilitating work.

Speaking of jeans, people naturally think of 1849 gold rush in America. At that time, the first immigrants who set foot on the American mainland were poor and had to work hard. Strenuous labor makes clothes wear easily, especially in 1849, when miners flocked to California, which formed the famous gold rush at that time. Because fabrics are easily damaged, people urgently hope to have a durable clothes. In this context, durable jeans came into being. The 7-series overalls produced by Adige are exported to the United States in large quantities, of which 7- 1573 is the most historic. At the same time, Levi Strauss in the United States began mass production of work clothes. Finally collectively referred to as jeans. Due to the influence of the United States in 1850, the 50 1 jeans produced by Levi's truly became the originator of jeans known to the world. In the mid-1930s, jeans, which were worn by almost everyone in the agricultural areas in the midwest of the United States, were first brought to the bustling cities east of the Mississippi River, and jeans began to enter the ranks of popular clothes.

During World War II, the American authorities designated jeans as uniforms of the American army, and a large number of jeans went deep into the hinterland of Europe with the allied forces. After the war, soldiers returned to the United States, and a large number of accumulated jeans were sold locally in limited quantities. These trousers are very popular in the local area because they are beautiful, practical, durable and cheap. As a result, European manufacturers of overalls rushed to imitate jeans, which made jeans popular and popular all over Europe. The film and television entertainment industry in Hollywood has played an important role in promoting the international fashion trend of jeans. In the famous movies during the 1950s, such as Rebellion for No Reason and Family Dream, the protagonists in the movies all wore comfortable and generous jeans. Under the influence of big-name stars who led the trend, jeans became the fashion symbol at that time.

In people's impression, the classic jeans should be like this: indigo blue, pure cotton twill, tight hip, low waist and short crotch design, slightly smaller trouser legs, buttons, stitching, patch pocket, nails and other decorations. However, the earliest jeans were not what we thought. Levi's 50 1 jeans and Italian ADIGE 7- 1573 series can be said to be classic jeans. Levi emphasizes durability, while Adige emphasizes practicality and beauty.
