Can anyone explain the origin of jeans? Can anyone explain how all the new brands of jeans came into being with evolution?

Who invented jeans? What was the first brand?

How did all the new brands of jeans after the original evolve?

How many pairs of jeans do you own? What is your favorite brand/style?

Jeanetic engineering!

The odds of all of those threads coming together in just the right way to make a pair of jeans is 8^25,000 to 1 or 10^22,500 to 1.

People will tell you it was Levi Strauss. Nope. It was the medieval deep state. At least, they invented denim and skinny jeans. They were a bunch of sickos back then.

I don't know, but only have jeans. Lewis, standard jeans, I don't like those baggy ones or other weird things.

One has to admit that it is pretty impressive for something to stay popular for that long, especially when talking about clothes. Coca Cola etc. I can better understand.

I adhere to a literal interpretation of Strauss 1853. It is a wise man that rejects the pursuit and instant gratification in favor of selling things to those seekers of such gratification.

These jeans evolved from pre-existing clothing in response to the more strenuous nature of the environment that demanded much more strenuous clothing in response.

I have one pair of Levi's and one pair of Wranglers, but the Levi's were made in Pakistan; not sure about the Wranglers, I think they make those in Mexico now? Not much point imo buying an iconic U.S. brand that's not made in the U.S., so I'll probably never buy another pair of Levi's anyway.

I gave up wearing Clark's shoes (formerly made in Northampton, England) for the same reason.

And thus arose the button fly.

Levi's are the one true Jean. But Members Mark is stretchy at the waist.

Pass the bong.

Since Levi's are very spendy, I am constantly looking for some mechanism of jean duplication.

Interesting that when someone mentioned jeans you thought of Levi's.

About a couple hundred years ago a German Jew was in Italy and saw how the sailors all wore the same kind of trousers from a cotton fabric they bought a 230 miles west in Nimes France. The name of that town evolved into "denim" (of Nimes) and the town where the trousers were seen (Genoa) evolved into "jeans". The German Jew was Levi Straus and he move to the U.S. to manufacture his trousers becuase cotton was cheap there.

Evolution is fun!

When I was a child, my father had a Skil circular saw that was referred to as a Skilsaw. As I grew older and learned to use it, the name Skilsaw became synonymous in my mind for circular saw. I see this happen often where the brand is used as the generic name for the type, so not so unusual that I would think of Levi's when asked about jeans. It is the brand of jeans I am familiar with.

The propensity to follow this convention when considering jeans may be in my genes.

Evolution is fun! A game the whole population can play.

Nasty horrible things that should be gone after one's teenage years.

Biojeanasis first produced cutoff jeans which evolved into full length. Eventually golf shirts and socks popped out by random selection.

Jakob Davis created working trousers based on sailors hard wearing trousers. He and Levi Strauss moved to America and patented them.

Everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

I have 4 pairs, a pair of Levi's full of holes that have caused me some embarrassment on occasion but I'm not parting with them.
A pair of M$S (Harper) skinny jeans, very comfortable.
A pair of unbranded jeans bought at market.
A pair of Tuffery for best.

Favourite? I like them all for different reasons

I own zero pairs.

I had a few pairs in the '90s, when Jncos were a thing. After they stopped being sold, and mine fell apart, I stopped wearing them.

And here I thought this was done through jean splicing.
