Do you enjoy wearing Levi's blue jeans? Blue jeans have become popular all over the world, but do you know how they got started?
Levi Strauss & Co. started in 1853. At that time, Levi Strauss went to San Francisco from Germany. He went there to help with his brothers' dry goods business.
The company began producing clothes in the 1870s, but it did not start making jeans until the 1920s.
Levi Strauss and his partner Jacob Davis patented (取得专利) the copper rivet to make their clothing strong and hard in 1873. It was to become a key part of their jeans design.
During World War II, their jeans sold very well. Before the war, they only had 15 salesmen (推销员). After the war, they had 22, 000 salesmen in 35 countries.
Levi's jeans became popular with young people in the 1950s and 1960s. Levi's 501 jeans were then, and are today , their biggest-selling products (产品). The company is still leading the fashion industry in different countries.
