Jean-volution

We all own a pair or have owned a pair, in different colors, cuts and sizes, but the material is the same.
Denim Jeans. . . 


Denim is a rugged cotton twill textile, it has been in usage since 18th century. The word Denim comes from a sturdy fabric called serge, originally made in Nimes, France, by Andre family (Family Affair). The fabric was called Serge de Nime, which was shorten to Denim (Thankfully).


Denim was available in one color; blue with indigo dye to make blue 'jeans'. Use of jeans comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy, where the first denim trousers were made. (And moving right along from the unexpectedly History Lesson).
