Levi Strauss got the credit for the jeans because he had the money for a patent. Jacob Davis had a customer who kept breaking his jeans, so Jacob thought that the rivets from the horse saddles help keep them together, then they could surely keep the jeans together. So Jacob puts the rivets in the customers jeans to see if they work. Surely enough they keep them together. So this is where we get back to how Levi Strauss got the credit for the jeans and Jacob Davis didn't. Jacob wanted a patent on his idea, but the patent cost $68, so Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis are really good friends, so Jacob asks Levi if he could help him with the patent. So Levi Strauss pays for it, and that is how he got the credit and Jacob Davis didn't.
