The Making of Jeans
Jeans are trousers made from denim or dungaree cloth. It is very popular
casual wear around the world. Firstly, jeans are made with two styles, indigo
blue and brown cotton duck. However, the brown cotton duck material is too
uncomfortable to be worn so it has been out of the market.
Denim pants had been around as work wear for many years since 1600s in
England. The fabric that called denim was the first use of rivets that created
what we now call jeans. The traditional name of jeans is “waist overalls” which
means “pants for work”. The word “ jeans” became more popular around 1960
when the baby-boom generation take it as their favorite pants.
Blue jeans are made of 100 percent cotton, that includes the threads. Polyester
blends are less popular compared to cotton made one .
To make a jeans, demin was treated with a blue dye obtained from the indigo
plant which had been used as a dye since 2500 B.C. in such diverse places as
Asia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Britain, and Peru. Blue jean manufacturers
imported indigo from India until the 20th century, when synthetic indigo was
developed to replace the natural dye.
