Globally, an estimated 2 billion pairs of jeans are sold each year. This number can fluctuate based on fashion trends, economic conditions, and consumer preferences. The denim market continues to grow, driven by demand in various regions, especially in emerging markets.
Levi Strauss originally sold his jeans for around $1.50 per pair in the 1870s. Over time, the price fluctuated based on demand and production costs, but the brand has since become synonymous with denim and is known for its iconic styles, often retailing in the range of $40 to $200 today, depending on the specific model and market.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, Levi Strauss & Co. does not publicly disclose the exact number of jeans sold annually. However, the company is one of the largest denim manufacturers in the world and has sold hundreds of millions of pairs of jeans since its founding in 1853. For the most current sales figures, it would be best to check the latest financial reports or press releases from the company.

When the similar fabric, denim, was created in France and Italy in the 1700's they stuck with indigo. The term "jean" is a corruption of the city of Genoa, Italy, where blue denim was first made.
