Denim denotes a rugged cotton textile, traditionally colored blue with indigo dye to make blue jeans. The contemporary use of jean comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy, from which the first denim trousers were made.
Jeans are trousers traditionally made from denim, but may also be made from a variety of fabrics including corduroy. Originally work clothes, they became popular among teenagers starting in the 1950,s. Historic brands include Levi's and Wrangler. Today jeans are a very popular form of casual dress around the world and come in many styles and colors.
History Of Denim Jeans
Jeans were first created in Genoa, Italy when the city was an independent republic and a naval power. The first were made for the Genoese Navy because it required all-purpose trousers for its sailors that could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could easily be rolled up to wear while swabbing the deck. These jeans would be laundered by dragging them in large mesh nets behind the ship, and the sea water would bleach them white. The first denim came from Nîmes, France, hence de Nimes, the name of the fabric. The French bleu de Gênes, from the Italian blu di Genova, literally the "blue of Genoa" dye of their fabric, is the root of the names for these trousers, "jeans" and "blue jeans", today.
Riveted Jeans
In the 1850s Levi Strauss was selling blue denim jeans under the "Levi's" name to the mining communities of California. One of his customers had an idea to use copper rivets to reinforce the points of strain on the jeans - on the pocket corners and at the base of the button fly - but did not have the money to purchase a patent, so he wrote to Strauss suggesting that they both go into business together.
Capri Pants
Capris are a style of pants usually worn in warm weather. They are designed to end mid-calf or just below the calf. More recently, the length of capri pants has been shortened to just below the knee in some designs. Though capri pants are most popular with women, they have become popular among young men in Europe and the United States. Capri pants were first designed by Italian fashion designer Emilio Pucci in the 1950’s and became popular in the US during the 1960’s, largely due to the influence of The Dick Van Dyke Show. The housewife, played by Mary Tyler Moore, caused a fashion sensation by wearing snug-fitting capri pants during the show's run. The name capri pants originated from the Italian Isle of Capri, where they were first made popular in the late fifties and early sixties.
Daisy Dukes
Daisy Dukes are extremely short, form-fitting, denim cut-off jeans shorts, usually portrayed as being worn by young women and girls in the American South. They were named after the character Daisy Duke, portrayed by actress Catherine Bach, in the American television series, The Dukes of Hazzard. Since then, they have become a pop culture icon of the South.
Low Rise Jeans
Low rise jeans, worn by both men and women, are jeans intended to sit low on, or below, the hips. They are also called low cut jeans, hipsters, hip-huggers and lowriders. Usually they sit at least three inches lower than the belly button.
Measurements Of The Rise Of Jeans
The rise of a jeans is determined by the distance between the crotch and the waist and is usually around eleven inches on regular pants. In comparison, the average measurement of low rise jeans is roughly seven inches (18 cm), with some as little as three to four inches (7.6–10 cm). Several jeans brands also reflect the rise on the zipper, by creating pants with zippers far shorter than regular pants, usually between 2 and 3 inches, and some manufacturers even provide 1 inch zippers. The latter can also be classified as "ultra low-rise jeans", and the small zipper no longer has its traditional function, but rather becomes a display of fashion: an additional marking of the jeans' low-rise nature.
