brief history of denim, the fabric phenomenon of the last centuries:
in the eighteenth century as trade, slave labour, and cotton plantations increased, workers wore jean cloth because the material was very strong and it did not wear out easily. the word jeans comes from a kind of material that was made in europe.the material, called jean, was named after sailors from genoa in italy,because they wore clothes made from it. the word 'denim' probably came from the name of a french material, serge de nimes:serge (a kind of material) from nimes (a town in france). class dismissed! now enjoy these pics...
