Introduction

I like wearing beautiful clothes. There are a lot of clothes in my wardrobe. They are T-shirts, skirts, sweaters, leggings, blouses, dresses, shorts and others. But I like jeans most of all. I wear them everywhere except to school. For example, for a walk, for a birthday party, on a picnic, during the trip. They are very cool, trendy and comfortable. I learnt that jeans are from America. They are popular among the British too. Both boys and girls prefer wearing them anywhere. I wanted to know more about jeans, when and where they were invented, in what occasions the British wear jeans.

1. History of jeans.

1.1 Jeans in the USA

Jeans are trousers made of thick cotton fabric. Jeans began its history in the Italian city of Genoa. Jeans, as we know them today, began its history in the 19th century in the USA. They were made by Levi Strauss, a businessman from Bavaria. He began to sew trousers from tent fabric. They were very sturdy, did not miss the dirt, the seams of which were reinforced with double stitching, with many pockets. In addition, they could be easily washed. Jeans were popular among loggers, cowboys, farmers, gold miners. During the Second World War, jeans became almost a military uniform in the United States - they were sold only to those who participated in hostilities.

In the mid-19th century, Levi replaced the tent fabric with denim, painted blue. It was resistant and did not present difficulties in use. In addition, the blue colour is not so much manifested pollution. By the time jeans had popularity in the everyday life of farmers, construction workers and mining workers in the USA.

Since 1880 Levi's has been producing jeans as we know them today. For stitching he used orange threads, a line "bird" appeared on the back pockets, at the corners of the pockets he used fastening seams. The first jeans cost 1 dollar 46 cents.

1.2 Jeans in Russia.

Jeans first appeared in Russia in 1957, during the world festival of youth and students.

First of all, citizens of Moscow and Leningrad got acquainted with jeans, where foreign tourists and students began to appear. Delegations from these two capitals were more likely to travel abroad. So, Western things at first appeared among the inhabitants of these cities, and a number of ports-Odessa, Kaliningrad, Vladivostok.

In these years jeans began to be mentioned in works of our writers and poets: Vasily Aksenov, Yevgeny Yevtushenko.
