He was a tailor who went to the gold fields of CA to find riches and ended up inventing a new form of pants. He came up with the idea because the pants he was wearing kept tearing at the seams and pockets because of the dirt and water from seeking gold. So he put little brads in these spots to reinforce the material and it worked. Soon everyone in the camp wanted their pants the same way. He became rich, but not from gold.
