In fact, you don’t know jeans so
much. Most people don’t know five things about tannin pants.
Everyone is no stranger to the word Daning, especially
tannin pants, denim jackets or denim shirts are in our lives. It is a single
item that everyone will see in the wardrobe. Denim said that it is the most
modern life. It’s no exaggeration to get close to the fabric. Still, do you
really know jeans? This seemingly handy item, in fact, there are many unknown
stories and knowledge behind it. If you understand these, you may be able to
take it to the next level.
▲ jeans can be said to be a lot of people's items, regardless of
whether it is suitable for casual wear or suits.
1. The world's first jeans
The world's first pair of jeans were made in 1873 by Levi’s.
American businessman Li Wei and American tailor Jacobs designed and began
production. They were first used as overalls and patented in 1873. They
included three pockets on the front of the jeans and two pockets on the back,
and rivets were sewn on the edges of the pockets. Levi's launched the first
denim trousers called "XX", of which "XX" means
"extra, extra strong", which is equivalent to declaring Levi's
unquestionable high quality to the world.
▲The world's first pair of jeans were made by Levi's, the jeans
originally designed for California gold rush workers, and later became
universal work clothes, which are now everywhere.
2. Jeans men and women zipper
position
In fact, in the past, the position of jeans zipper is not
the same as boys and girls. Before World War II, the boys' jeans were the same
as before, the zipper was normally designed in the front, but the girls were
designed on the right. But for what reason, there is currently no clear
statement. Occasionally, I will see some newer jeans zipper designs in the
middle, perhaps emulating the design before World War II.
▲ It can be clearly seen from the picture that the zipper of the jeans of the
second women are not designed in front.
3. Small pockets of jeans
Almost in the pocket on the right side of each pair of
jeans, there will be another small pocket design, but because it is really too
small, it can hardly be loaded with anything, so it is often thought that this
small pocket is purely decorative, but in fact His real purpose is to bring a
pocket watch. According to the British "Independent" report, quoted
the founder of the American jeans brand Levi's, pointing out that the small
pocket is actually a "watch pocket". In the past, it was designed to
put a pocket watch. The independent small space can avoid the pocket watch
being scratched. With the rise of watches, almost no one carries a pocket watch
with him, but this small pocket is still passed down, retaining the classic
design and becoming one of the jeans.
▲ Even though almost no one has gone out with a pocket watch, the
design of the jeans pocket is still visible.
4. Denim cloth production
In the past, denim cloth (denim) was a twill weave method.
The warp yarns dyed in pure cotton indigo and the natural weft yarns were
interwoven with three right-handed twill weaves, all using the real plant "Indigo".
Indigofera is a dye. In addition to the blues of different depths in the past,
there are many other colors such as yellow and green, and the dyes are no
longer natural. Nowadays, denim fabrics are ring-shaped denim, bamboo
denim, weft elastic denim, special denim, colored denim, and colored denim.
Most of the jeans are made in indigo because it is the best protection for dust
and dirt.
▲ jeans have evolved into many different colors and designs to meet the
hobbies and needs of different people.
5. Why are there rivets?
Like the pockets, rivets can be seen in many jeans. In fact,
these rivets do have special functions. They are particularly easy to block
because of the movement or pulling of the body, which has the effect of
supporting the fabric. These one-piece rivets seem to be simple, but in fact,
they are closely related to the history of the entire tannin fabric, and even
the invention of jeans.
▲In 1870, the tailor, Jacob W. Davis, made tough work pants, in
addition to the original traditional linen, and then burlap
reinforcement in the more fragile block, and in the stitches and pockets,
pants, etc. The parts are supported by copper rivets.
