For the California Gold Rush!!
Levi Strauss got the credit for the jeans because he had the money for a patent. Jacob Davis had a customer who kept ripping 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.
They were first invented in 1873 by Levi Strauss & Jacob Davis.
Denim was/is a type of cloth. Strauss didn't invent that. But he used it for the jeans he made.

Jacob Davis was a tailor who found that rivets at the stress points increased the durability and he contacted Levi Strauss and the rest is history.
Levi Strauss invented his first pair of jeans for gold rush miners in 1873. He partnered with tailor Jacob Davis to create durable pants made from denim, which were reinforced with rivets to withstand the rigors of mining work. This innovation led to the birth of the iconic Levi's brand.

Levi Stratus did not invent the jeans but he did helped the person who invented the jeans, Jacob Davis, by funding him. Putting Levi Strauss as the inventor of the jeans is not totally correct because all he did was provide the inventor with the money to complete the inventor. So Levi Strauss really did not invent anything just funded an invention.
