Best Answer

Denim material is quite old. The sailors on Columbus's crew wore a denim pant and it has been in use for centuries. Denim jeans, as we know them, were created by Levi Strauss in the California Gold Rush. He was a tailor who came to the gold camps and while looking for gold he fixed his pants with brads at the seams because they were falling apart because they were in water/dirt all the time. Other miners saw his pants and wanted some like his so he began making the Levi jean.
