Jeans

Jeans were originally pants worn at work. They were traditionally made from denim but also from a variety of material including corduroy, the preferred fabric of liberal intellectuals. Jeans are believed to have devoloped from 16th century Indian dungarees. Modern jeans were invented for Californian miners in the 1850s by a fellow called Levi Strauss who lived in San Francisco. Today minors and adults across the world wear jeans. An enduring symbol of American freedom.
