DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE FIRST PAIR OF JEANS APPEARED ON THE MARKET?…

Jeans

This might surprise you.

According to records in 1870 the first pair of Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis jeans were invented and patented. They were used as hardwearing overalls to wear during manual labour.

By 1930 the inventors designed some for women, and were seen in Vogue by 1935.

They were also shown in many western films in the 1930’s.

By 1940 Jeans went global and in the 1950’s the capri pants became popular, in Europe first, but then internationally after Grace Kelly wore them.

Marilyn Munroe and Elvis Presly wore the slim fit ones in the 1950’s and flares became the ones to wear in the 1960’s, which were promoted on photo shoots on models like Jean Shrimpton.

By the 1970’s, the era of the punks, we saw denim jackets and mini or floor length denim skirts.

By 1980 the washed look in jeans was popular with baggy and hip hop styles becoming popular in the 1990’s.

And in 2000 you could actually by ‘new’ jeans with holes, rips and tears in them!!!!

I set up Crafted By B Studio after retiring from writing a blog for over 10 years on chronic pain. As a chronic pain sufferer myself I had always used art as a way to relax and take me away from my pain and stumbled upon paint by numbers by fluke. I was hooked from day one and went into custom paint by numbers as I progressed with my others. Over the past 3 years I have completed over 20 pieces and also made some of my own unique pieces. I am happy to help anyone who might like a custom picture made into a piece of beautiful art using this type of technology. I am also interested in lots of different types of crafts which I enjoy with my 4 grandchildren so my site will have lots of links and posts on mixed crafts and arts.

      1. Same hear. You got a new pc or laptop or something? I’ve got the same virus software but it seems to like your webpage now :))
        I’ll be a regular visitor from now on as you post some interesting stuff and it was like being behind a hospital screen, knowing there was something going on, wanting to know what’s going on but unable to see.

      2. No new pc mick, just my son upgraded the Mcafee so maybe that has helped. He also deleted a few things. I’m none the wiser reaaly.

        Glad to have you having a read every now and then. I love my writings. Take care 🙂
