The Fascinating history of Denim

In May of 1873, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented their denim pants, which were riveted around the pocket seams, ideal for heavy work, which later became the popular denim jeans we know today. Levi Strauss, a German immigrant, moved to New York in 1851 to work with his brother. Later, in 1853, during the "gold rush," he moved to San Francisco to start his family dry goods business. Levi sold many products, including sturdy imported cotton fabric and denim.
Jacob Davis was a tailor, and he started using the fabric Levi sold to make things like wagon covers, tents, and blankets. During the "Gold Rush", the clothes sold to miners were frequently torn due to the physical demands of their jobs.
When Davis was asked by a miner's wife to create a pair of trousers explicitly designed for hard work, using Levi's denim and copper rivets to reinforce key stress areas around pockets and the base of the fly, Davis made the first pair of jeans. The design with the rivets found success among miners. With a rise in popularity, Davis sought to patent this but couldn't afford to patent the invention, so he asked for Levi's help. The two went on to do business together, with Levi becoming responsible for manufacturing the jeans in his San Francisco factory and employing Davis to oversee production and design.
