The exact date of the birth of jeans is May 20, 1873. On this day, the Patent and Trademark Office issued a patent for overalls to two immigrants, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis.
This kind of work pants is made of a kind of "denim", which has been reinforced during sewing, and brand-new copper buttons are used in the trouser pockets and door. The idea came to Davis, a tailor from Nevada. And Davis was a customer of Strauss. Strauss was the owner of a haberdashery at the time.
Strauss hoped to use this new style of trousers to satisfy the requirements of gold miners, who often complained that their trouser pockets could not hold the gold particles they carried inside.
But to realize this dream, Davis still lacks $62. When Davis encountered difficulties, he came to Straus's house for help, and the shrewd businessman Levi Straus gave him the money without saying a word. Because he knew, just as Davis assured him, that the two of them would be able to make a lot of money due to the huge economic potential of this new overalls.
