Did you know?

Levi's original blue jeans were sewn with orange thread because it matched the color of the copper rivets. The copper rivets enhanced the durability of the jean and strengthened the seams. This idea to add copper rivets came from a Russian tailor named Jacob Davis. Denim is actually made from cotton. Indigo and white thread combined makes the denim color. One bale of cotton can make 225 pairs of jeans.
