protecting the possession of trademarks is not easy. Thermos, bandaid, xerox, have all had their "issues".

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

Nothing wrong with French.
The most valuable bit of French I learned for a trip to Paris was bon jour (deliberately and badly pronounced bahn-jur with a smile), which translates to, "Obviously, I don't speak your language, so can we please change to English?" without having to speak any English at all.
The only problem I had during that trip was with a couple of Brits selling wine in Paris. I forgot myself and began with "Hello" in their shop, and was read the riot act even by native English speakers. I had been warned not to do that, but it slipped out.
Good people, I was treated very well, and I had a great time. My bahn-jur was always greeted with a smile and an English response. Some of that may be because it was two months after 9/11, and there was a lot of sympathy for Americans then.
Bonjour (one word) but with many accents and dialects. Try it with a broad Lancashire accent for a good laugh ;-). Around these parts oui is pronounced way, fits my accent quite well
I used to find "Pardon, je suis anglais et mon français n'est pas bon." Often got sympathy. People were impressed i tried and often came back with English. Or at least understanding and hand signals.
Another good one if you happen to be in froggy land again is ca va, (pronounced sa va) it's the every day greeting to any friend or acquaintance.
The reply is also ca va but the intonation of the reply from sad to chirpy can write books.

Ahh JnCos. Great for sneaking many much quantities of snacks into the theater. Bad for walking around in.
It pleases me to see that this discussion isn't thread-bare.
I never had any trouble walking in them.
I have what's called a 'riding skirt'... reminds me so much of Jncos.
Doesn't have the external pockts, though.

This is the oldest known pair of jeans (1857, found in a shipwrecked trunk). I find it fascinating the the design has changed very little.

And true to what I've seen, it's more white guys sagging their pants way down.

Duh! They evolved from cotton. From there mutations caused different brands.

I always thought they were easy and comfy to walk in. They're no good in a MidWest rain (they get soggy and nasty very easily), but I knew a few guys who did prowrestling wearing them.

Ah well, maybe its because I'm a shorty. So for me they constantly snagged and tripped me up. They were comfy, I never had that stiff jeans period. But they were too expensive to constantly get frayed so quickly. These days I prefer Gloria Vanderbilt mostly.

A jeans brand.
ETA:
Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans
Gloria Vanderbilt is designed by women, for women. Made for real women of all shapes and sizes, Gloria Vanderbilt was one of the first designer denim brands to embrace size inclusivity nearly 50 years ago, and the legacy continues.
