 Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans; these trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also called levis or denims, jeans have an interesting story.
 The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed. In the 16th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of cotton trousers. In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name became attached to the trousers and developed into the word jeans.

In the 17th century, French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes.

He intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first attempt was a failure but he later found success when he used the canvas to make indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him and is now referred to by his name.
