An Enterprising Young Man
On February 26, 1829, a baby was born in Buttenheim,
Germany, whose name would one day be known around
the world. When young Levi Strauss arrived in San
Francisco in the 1850 s, he sold cotton canvas for tents. But
miners' trousers suffered more wear and tear than their tents,
so he stitched his sturdy cloth into pants The fabric, milled in
Genoa, Italy, was referred to as “genes." In the 1860 s Strauss
substituted a softer fabric from Nunes, France, known as
a. serge de Ntmes. (“denim” in this country).
INI A/* Strauss dyed the neutral-colored fabric indi
go blue to camouflage soil stains, and later
added reinforcing rivets at pockets and crotch.
p 1 ’ < The crotch rivet was quickly eliminated when
> 'J j’ miners complained that squatting too near a
j / campfire resulted in dangerously hot rivets.
I. ft The tailor makes the man.
cf Use fine elastic cording to sew on waistline buttons
that sometimes need a little extra “give."
