Fits of jeans are determined by current styles, sex and by the manufacturer. In Chinese, jeans are known as niuzaiku (SC: 牛仔裤), literally, "cowboy pants" (trousers), indicating their association with the American West, cowboy culture, and outdoors work. Being imported American products, especially in the case of the Soviet Union which restricted hard currency imports, they were somewhat expensive. Outside of the United States, particularly in Russian popular culture, blue jeans were and are fashionable, symbolizing American culture and the good life.

Today, Levis are available in a variety of styles, from tight to loose fit, and are sold either pre-washed or shrink-to-fit. Levis were originally produced in only three sizes, and the wearer would jump into a body of water -- from a creek to a pond to a horse trough, to shrink them to fit. Originally worn by miners, farmers, and cowboys, Levis are worn and seen in all walks of life. Levi's are known for their rugged construction, personal "shrink-to-fit", and versatility.

Acceptance of jeans continued through the 1980s and 1990s to the point where jeans are now a wardrobe staple, with the average American owning 7 pairs. During the 1960s the wearing of blue jeans became more acceptable and by the 1970s had become a general fashion in the United States, at least for informal wear. This was considered by some adults as disruptive; for example, some movie theaters refused to admit patrons who wore blue jeans. In the United States during the 1950s, wearing of blue jeans by teenagers and young adults became symbolic of mild protest against conformity.

Initially blue jeans were simply sturdy trousers worn by workers. After Strauss accepted Davis's offer, on May 20, 1873, the two men received patent #139,121, a patent for an "Improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings", from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the blue jean, as we know it today, was born. Jacobs did not have the required money to purchase a patent, so he wrote to Levi suggesting that they both go into business together. After one of Jacob's customers kept purchasing cloth to reinforce torn trousers, he had an idea to use copper rivets to reinforce the points of strain, such as on the pocket corners and at the base of the button fly.

One of Levi's customers was Jacob Davis, a tailor who frequently purchased bolts of cloth from the Levi Strauss & Co wholesale house. Levi Strauss was a Bavarian dry goods merchant living in San Francisco. Circa 1872, jeans made a formal arrival in America. The French bleu de Gênes, from the Italian blu di genova, literally the "blue of Genoa" dye of their fabric, is the root of the names for these pants, "jeans" and "blue jeans", today.

The French word for these trousers was anchored around their word for Genoa. The first denim came from Nîmes, France, hence de Nimes, the name of the fabric. These jeans would be laundered by dragging them in large mesh nets behind the ship, and the sea water would bleach them white. The first were made for the Genoese Navy because it required all-purpose trousers for its sailors that could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could easily be rolled up to wear while swabbing the deck.

Jeans were first created in Genoa, Italy when the city was an independent Republic and a naval power. [1]. Sailors cut it to suit them. Dyed in indigo, it was sold in the vicinity of the Dongarii Fort near Mumbai.
