Jeans Style
Dyeing
Traditionally, jeans are dyed to a blue color using indigo dye. Some colours that can be achieved however are pink, blue, yellow, black, and white. These colors are achieved by coloring other fabrics to resemble jeans. Approximately 20 million tons of indigo are produced annually for this purpose, though only a few grams of the dye are required for each pair of these trousers.
Pre Shrunk
In the 1970's a young man name Hal Burgess first marketed pre-washed jeans. His father owned a large jean manufacturing company in Cartersville, Ga. Hal was in Mexico selling jeans for his father and on his way to New York after that. There was a flood in the hotel room where he was keeping the jeans. He asked the hotel owner if her could rent out the pool to wash the flooded jeans. Naturally the jeans shrunk. Hal decided to market them as 'pre-washed' jeans and sold them 2 sizes smaller than they were originally planned. This was the first time 'pre-shrunk' jeans were marketed.
Riveted jeans
German-Jewish dry goods merchant Levi Strauss was selling blue jeans under the Levi's name to the mining communities of California in the 1850s. One of Strauss's customers was Jacob Davis, a tailor who frequently purchased bolts of cloth from the Levi Strauss & Co. wholesale house. After one of Davis's customers kept purchasing cloth to reinforce torn pants, he had an idea to use copper rivets to reinforce the points of strain, such as on the pocket corners and at the top of the button fly. Davis did not have the required money to purchase a patent, so he wrote to Strauss suggesting that they both go into business together. After Strauss accepted Davis's offer, the two men received U.S. Patent 139,121, for an "Improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings," on May 20, 1873.
In 1885 jeans could be purchased in the US for $1.50 (approximately $34 in 2007). Today, an equivalent pair of jeans can be purchased for around $30–50, but more stylish pairs can cost much more. Many brands of jeans are currently available for much less.
