denim and jeans - where do the names come from?
the word jeans comes from a kind of material that was made in europe.
the material, called jean, was named after sailors from genoa in italy,
because they wore clothes made from it. the word 'denim' probably
came from the name of a french material, serge de nimes:
serge (a kind of material) from nimes (a town in france).
Traditional denim is durable twill-woven cotton fabric with coloured
(usually blue) warp and white filling threads; it is also woven in coloured
stripes.
