Levi Strauss = Blue jeans

 * Levi Strauss's real name at first was Loeb Strauss and was born into a Jewish family Feb. 26, 1829** **Buttenheim, Germany** **. He was orphaned at age 16. By the time it was 1850 he had changed his name. For several years he walked the roads of Kentucky as a traveling salesman selling cloth and potions from the pack on his back.**


 * Levi Strauss was a smart man. He went to San Fransisco in 1853 during the Gold Rush. He opened up a fabric shop and he heard all the complaints about the miners' clothing always ripping while mining. So he had the idea of making blue jeans. These pants** **would be inexpensive, comfortable and won't rip all the time**.


 * 2 What is the invention and how did it come to be invented?

His invention was the Blue Jeans. Levi Strauss, a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for San Francisco with a small supply of dry goods with the intention of opening a branch of his brother's New York dry goods business. His supplies went low and he needed to try to find supplies to make the blue jeans so the business won't fail. He also brought along canvas sailcloth, intended to make tents and covers for the Conestoga wagons many miners lived out of then he had the idea that the canvas durable enough to use for the miners' new pants.

//This is Levi Strauss 501 oldest jeans.//
 * 1) 3 How did the invention affect society at that time?

The people really liked the invention it was very important because the miners were comfortable and the jeans did not rip that much anymore. so there weren't rocks scrapping in the jeans and hurting the miners. From before the miners had nothing to wear because there clothing always ripped and then you needed to buy more and it was expensive. So I think the miners were very happy after they got the blue jeans.

The invention of the blue jeans is still here today but used differently because the people in the 2000's like to wear it for style and comfortable.

This no a big impacted it is just clothing you wear now for fashion so all it is they don't just wear it for mining they wear jeans for everything.

I think he would because the jeans would be used for everything to wear work, school and normal days. He would be proud and now the jeans are in different colors and styles. Even I enjoy the jeans now.**

Hello! My name is Levi Strauss but my real name is Leob Strauss. I was born on February 26, 1829 in Buttenheim, Germany. When I was 18 years old we moved to America where I lived the rest of my life. I was born into a Jewish family, and I made my living as a tailor. I went to San Francisco in 1853 during the Gold Rush. I opened up a fabric shop. I made blue jeans because I heard miners complaining about their clothing always ripping and being uncomfortable, so I decided to make blue jeans. These pants will be inexpensive, comfortable and not always ripping. I collected some fabric and thread and grabbed my sewing machine then started to make the jeans. Then I started selling the blue jeans. I decided to make a little bit of changes; I named the jeans Levi 501 jeans adding a button on the jeans to open it, and then changed the numbers when I added the fly (zipper). Now we wear jeans for style, fashion and comfort. The jeans have different colors and styles now. My invention was great and worked well and now look at me I am famous, everyone wears my blue jeans! People use my jeans as clothing for everyday life and before the jeans were just for the miners. My blue jeans are better in the today's of 2000, everyone buys jeans because there warm and comfy. I make way more money with my blue jeans now. If you see an orange tag on one of your jeans those are my jeans, that’s how you can tell. People use my jeans because it keeps their body warm when cold and the way the jeans look. I died in San Francisco on September 27, 1902.
