Denim is a rugged cotton twill textile that was originally called serge. Because it was originally created (1690s) in Nimes, a town in southern France, it was dubbed Serge de Nimes. Visitors from all over the world descended upon California's gold fields in the late 1840s and popularized the sturdy jeans proffered by one Levi Strauss, who'd recognized the miner's needs for durable clothing. Denimwas first associated with coarse cotton cloth in the American English lexicon in 1850, and by 1868, "Denims" was a term used to describe pants made of denim.
