In the late 1950s, Levi Strauss came to San Francisco. He used to be a cloth dealer, and he took some canvas to make tents. He saw that the cotton trousers worn by gold miners were easy to wear out, so he took thick canvas and cut it into trousers with low waist, straight legs and tight hips for sale, which was very popular among gold miners.
Later, cowboys also liked this kind of trousers made of canvas, which gradually became popular. Li Wei then changed his trousers into indigo denim, and his business grew. 187 1 year, Levi's applied for a patent for his jeans and formally established Levi's Company, which later developed into an international company. His products are all over the world.
The tailor Jacob W. Davies proposed to Levi Strauss to add "tiny buttons" to prevent the seams from loosening and enhance the durability of jeans.
Jeans were originally designed by the United States for California gold miners, and later became ordinary work clothes, and now they can be seen everywhere.

wash
Because the production process of jeans is relatively simple, and it will collide with the inner wall of the washing machine when cleaning, the problem of fading often occurs. Ordinary jeans are dyed with indigo, and there is basically no environmental problem; Jeans dyed with other dyes (even paint) may cause environmental pollution.
On the other hand, some consumers "never wash" because of wrinkling after washing. In order to maintain hygiene and prevent color fading, turn over before washing and wash with neutral detergent or special detergent for jeans. Moreover, sun exposure may also lead to discoloration or discoloration, so some people still dry in the shade inside and outside after washing.
