“Denim is a sturdy cotton warp­faced textile in which the weft passes under two or                             more warp threads. This twill weaving produces a diagonal ribbing that distinguishes it                         from cotton duck. The most common denim is indigo denim, in which the warp thread                             is dyed, while the weft thread is left white.”  

 Origin of Denim: The name "denim" derives from French serge de Nîmes, meaning "serge from Nîmes".  “Denim was traditionally colored blue with indigo dye to make blue jeans, although                         "jean" formerly denoted a different, lighter, cotton fabric. The contemporary use of the                         word "jeans" comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy (Gênes), where the first                           denim trousers were made. Denim has been used in the USA since the mid 19th                             century. Denim initially gained popularity in 1873 when Jacob Davis, a tailor from                         Nevada, manufactured the first pair of “rivet­reinforced” denim pants. His concept for                       making reinforced jeans was inspired when a lady customer requested a pair of durable                           and strong pants for her husband to chop wood. When Davis was about to finish making                               the denim jeans, he saw some copper rivets lying on a table and used the rivets to                                 fasten the pockets. At this time, clothes for Western labourers, such as teamsters,                         surveyors,

and miners, were not very durable. Soon, the popularity of denim jeans began to spread                             rapidly and Davis was overwhelmed with requests. He soon sold 200 pairs to workers in                             need of heavy work clothing. Nevertheless, because of the production capacity in his                         small shop, Davis was struggling to keep up with the demand . He then wrote a                               proposal to the dry goods wholesaler Levi Strauss & Co. that had been supplying Davis                             with bolts of denim fabric.Davis’s proposal was “to patent the design of the                         rivet­reinforced denim pant, with Davis listed as inventor, in exchange for certain rights                         of manufacture”. Levi Strauss & Co. was so impressed by the possibilities for profit in                             the manufacture of the garment that they then hired Davis to be in charge of the                               mass­production in San Francisco.”   by wikipedia
