Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss created riveted jeans’ official birthday on May 20th, 1873, but the first visual depiction of blue jeans may be in an Italian painting from the 1600s. An interesting face about Davis and Strauss’ partnership is that Davis was the first person to use copper rivets, and Strauss provided the capital he needed to apply for a patent. However, when shopping for jeans, you never see “Davis jeans”, while “Levis” are a brand name that pervade most households. The 1980s was a profitable time for jeans, whether they were embroidered, embellished, heavy stitch, or studded jeans. Sales of jeans increased by approximately ten percent each year during this decade. Recently, there has been innovation in the jeans industry with the advent of “jeggings”. This word, which signifies a hybrid of jeans and leggings, was added to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary in 2011.
