The first jeans were designed by Levy Strauss (1829-1902) who was a German -1-moved  to the United  States. Strauss  arrived  in  San  Francisko  in  1850  just  after  gold  was -2- there.  Strauss  decided to  make  trousers  to sell to  -3-  miners.

The  first  pair  was  made  of  tent  canvas,  and  then  strong -4-  was  imported  from  France. We  call  it” denim”  nowadays. The  denim  was  dyed  blue  with indigo. In 1837 copper  rivets  were  added  to  the  jeans. Strauss  wanted  to  make -5-  stronger  because  the  -6- used  to  fill  them with  pieces  of  rock.

The  -7- still  makes  Levis  today.

The  first  Lee  Rider jeans  were -8- in  1924  and  the  first Wranglers  in  1947. Until the  1930s  jeans  were  rarely seen  east of  the Mississipi  river. Hollywood  westerns  made  jeans  popular.  Cowboys -9-  them  in  the  films, and  film stars  wore  them -10-  the  studios.
