Denim is more than just a cotton fabric. They have strong opinions within The hearts of historians, designers and adolescents, movie stars, journalists and writers. benefit Overlooking the passion can be found between the textile and clothing historians today, especially In the debate about the true denim assets. These experts have been developed in decades of work Their research. Here summed up the prevailing views about the birth of denim,Followed by a discussion of how Levi Strauss & Co. has helped to contribute to the Denim movement worldwide.
In 1969, a writer for the Journal of the American fabric announced "Denim is one of the The oldest fabrics in the world, yet still young forever. "If the continuous use and attention The item makes it "forever young" and denim certainly qualifies. 17 Has been woven into the present century, denim, used and disposed of. Made into furniture, Pants and umbrellas. Found in museums, attics and antique stores and archaeological excavations. Worn fabric of honest hard work, and as an expression of angry rebellion. Used for Columbus sails of ships in the myth. And it is worn by patrons of American beef in reality.
Intertwined myth and reality also when discussing the origin of the name scientists Denim itself. Most reference books that says denim is the English corruption of the French "Serge de Nimes"; Serge fabric of the city of Nimes in France. However, some Question scientists have started this tradition. There are a few schools of thought with regard to the derivation of the word "Jeans." Pascal Gorguet- Ballesteros, from the Museo de Others do not put uniforms in Paris, Some interesting research has been done to the attention of all of these issues. The tissue called "Serge de Nim, "was known in France before the 17th century. At the same time, there was also Weaving, known in France as "Nim." Each comprising partly fabrics of wool.
It was known Serge de Nimes also in England before the end of the 17th century. The question arises: Is this fabric imported from France or she is not English textile Of the same name? According to Mrs. Gorguet- Ballesteros, fabrics that were His name was often in other places also a specific geographic location. The name Used to provide a certain stamp of the fabric when offered for sale. Thus, "Serge
De Nimes, "which was purchased in England and was very likely also made in England, not in Nimes, France.
There is still the question of how the word "jeans" and popularly believed to That comes from the word "Serge de Nimes". According to Serge de Nimes silk and It has always been made of wool, but cotton denim. What we have here again, I think, is The relationship between the fabrics that are in name only, in spite of all fabrics, twill weave. He The true origin of the word denim "Serge de Nimes," which means that the fabric-like Weaving is part of wool called Nim? The Serge de Nimes more well-known, and this was the word Ill when translated across the English Channel? Or, British traders did not decide Give the French name into English limber little more fabric to give it a stamp? It is likely that we We'll never know really. Then, to confuse matters even more, there are also found, in this same time, another Fabric known as "Jean" Research on this textile indicates that it was fustian - cotton,
Linen and / or wool blend - and that fustian from Genoa, Italy, and called on the committees. Here we do
We see evidence of a tissue selected from the place of origin. It was apparently quite Popular, and imported to England in large quantities during the 16th century. From before It is the end of this Jean-production period in Lancashire. Of jeans cloth 18th century Fully made of cotton, used in the manufacture of men's clothing worth especially for Property of durability even after several washings. The popularity of denim also Go up. It is stronger and more expensive than Jean, and although the fabrics were very Similar in other respects, but it has one major difference: The denim one The color of the thread and white thread and a single; it was woven Jean-two threads of the same color.
