Why ever not crossed jeans always small pocket on the right side? A glimpse of this little pocket no function other than just a patch to add the accentuation style of the wearer, or perhaps typical jeans. However, from the cute pocket is actually readable history of pants made popular by Levi Strauss in 1880, eight years after the jeans into the United States (U.S.) in 1872.


As a kind of textile, jeans first made in Genoa, Italy in 1560's. Fabric pants used by the navy. The French call these pants as "bleu de Genes", which means the blue of Genoa. Although textiles were first produced and used in Europe, but as fashion, jeans popularized in the U.S. by Levi Strauss, a young man in their twenties who complain luck to San Francisco as a clothing merchant. At that time, the U.S. was hit by gold fever.

However, up in California all goods sold, except a tent made of canvas. This cuts the canvas and made into some pants that are sold on the gold miners. And it turns out the workers like it because Strauss-made pants are durable and not easily torn. Felt had a chance, Strauss perfected "findings" by ordering material from Genoa called "Genes", which by Strauss changed to "Blue Jeans".Source

This is where the miners added artificial pants like Strauss and "named" pants as formal pants miners. The gold miners pants Strauss calls the "those pants of Levi` s "or" The Levi Pants ". The name is a trademark first started the world's first jeans.
