What could be more American than jeans?
Actually denim originated in Nimes, France (de Nimes) during the Middle Ages.
And the word "jeans" originally referred to eighteenth-century Italian sailors from Genoa, who wore outfits made from denim.
But really?
Although they didn't technically invent jeans, Levi Strauss (and his unsung partner Jacob Davis) made them one of the most popular items of clothing in the world.
