History of Jeans
Jeans have been the most loved casual wear for men since they were first made in the 18th century. They are mostly made from denim and sometimes from corduroy.
The history of jeans can be traced to Genoa, Italy, where it was first made for the Genoese Navy. This was so, because the navy officials required an all- purpose trousers for sailors, which could be worn wet or dry. These jeans used by the sailors were washed in large mesh nets just behind the ship and would often turn white due to sea water. Since the first denim was produced in Nîmes, France, therefore the fabric got the name de Nimes, or denim in English.
