Relaxed Fit Jeans For Men Definition
Source(Google.com.pk)The story of jeans begins in the city of Genoa, in Italy, famous for its cotton corduroy, called either jean or jeane; the jeans fabric from Genoa (at that time) was in fact very similar to corduroy. During the Republic of Genoa, the jeans were exported by sailors of Genoa throughout Europe. In the French city of Nimes, weavers tried to reproduce the fabric exactly, but without success. However, with experimentation, and through trial and error, they developed another twill fabric that became known as denim, literally "de Nimes". Only at the end of the eighteenth century did jeans arrive in the United States.

A young man named Levi Strauss immigrated in 1851 from Germany to New York to be with his older brother, who ran a dry goods store. In 1853 he moved to San Francisco to establish his own dry goods business.
In 1872, Jacob Davis, a tailor who frequently purchased bolts of cloth from the Levi Strauss & Co. wholesale house, wrote to Strauss asking to partner with him to patent and sell clothing reinforced with rivets.[1] Davis' idea was to use copper rivets to reinforce the points of stress, such as on the pocket corners and at the bottom of the button fly. After Strauss accepted Davis's offer, the two men received U.S. Patent , for an "Improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings," on May
Originally Indigo was produced using
dye from plan indegofera tinctoria but
most denim today is dyed with synthetic. indigo In both cases the yarn will
undergo a repetitive sequence of dipping and oxidization, the more dipps, the
stronger the indigo shade.
Rope dye is considered the best yarn dying method as it eliminated shading
across the fabric width, thou the alternative slasher process is cheaper as
only one beaming process is needed (in rope dying, beaing is done twice). Fades
caused by prolonged periods of wear, without washing, have become the main
allure for raw denim. The fading patterns are a way of personalizing the
garment for each customer. These fades are categorized by certain namesWhiskers
– Faded streaks that surround the crotch area of the denim. Combs – Also known,
as “honey combs” are the streaks of faded lines that are found behind the knee.
Stacks – Produced by having the inseam of the denim hemmed a few inches longer
than actual leg length. The extra fabric stacks on top of the shoe causing a
fade to form around the ankle to calf area of the denim. Train Tracks – appears
on the outseams of the denim. This fade showcases the selvedge by forming two
sets of fades that resemble train tracks. Originally Indigo was produced using dye from

An oft-told "attractive myth" is that Strauss initially sold brown canvas pants to miners, eventually dyed them blue, turned to using denim, and after Davis wrote to him, Strauss added rivets to his blue jeans. However, this story is false and probably due to the discovery of jeans made of brown cotton duck (a type of bottomweight fabric), which was one of the early materials used by Davis and Strauss after 1873.[1] Finding denim a more suitable material for work-pants, they began using it to manufacture their riveted pants. The denim used was produced by an American textile manufacturer (popular legend states the denim was obtained from Nimes, France)
