I want to know! history of jeans
It's hard to find a person who doesn't own one, and jeans have historically been the badge of labor and the symbol of rebellion. Jeans, which grew along with the history of America and spread all over the world, have various aspects and become intricately integrated into our lives. I would like to explain the history of such jeans once again.
Jeans first appeared in the world in the 1870s. At that time, many miners were working in the mines of North America, where the gold rush was booming, and their problem was that their trousers would wear out quickly during work. Tailor Jacob Davis sold work trousers made from Levi's canvas and reinforced with copper rivets at the ends of the pockets. This was the birth of jeans, which existed as work clothes at the time.
If we talk about the spread of jeans in Japan, it goes back to 1945. After the end of the war, the second-hand jeans released in large quantities by GHQ became the catalyst for the spread of the brand, and from there it spread along with American culture such as movies and music. By the way, it is said that Jiro Shirasu was the first person to wear jeans in Japan.
Until now, jeans have had the core value of existence as a “symbol”.
