The birth of the blues.




The origin of the word “jeans” goes all the way back more than four hundred years to 1567, the earliest record of its use being as “Genoese” or “Genes”, the French spelling for the Italian port of Genoa, where the merchant sailors wore sturdy work pants. Serge de Nimes, the fabric named after the French city of Nimes from where it originated, became known as “denim”. A German chemist, Adolf von Baeyer, developed the first synthetic indigo dye in 1878, and soon after blue jeans was born. Either way, the history of jeans goes this far back in history.

Perhaps there is often confusion, what a difference between denim and jeans? Denim is a fabric and jeans is the product. Users are sailors first jeans and gold miners in California. Denim itself is derived from the words of Serge de Nîmes is a town in French, while the jeans come from a Genoese who called for the sailors from Italy who always wore a blue shirt while sailing.

First, the denim is actually a blend of wool and cotton or wool and silk (who does not know which is true) but after the 19th century, wear cotton only. The blue color of the jeans is the result of indigo dye from plants that have been used since 2500 years BC. Factories jeans indigo plant imported from India to finally created synthetic indigo. A source said that Indonesia is one of the first supplier Indigovera (gold-blue). Ambarawa and its surroundings is the largest field Indigovera. Natural indigo is very expensive but can still be found on the jeans now. However, coupled with soaring prices. Synthetic indigo was discovered by Adolf von Baeyer in 1878.
Inevitably, Levi's Staruss a pioneer rather than jeans. They are the suppliers 'work pants' to the gold miners. Levi's stood since 1850 until now. Mr. Levi Strauss himself did not like the designation of jeans, overalls, so he called it.

Not Levi's who discovered rivets. Their jeans at first did not use rivets, Jacob Davis was the one who found it. He was a tailor who frequently complain of the miners got because the stich are often separated. Patented rivets on May 20, 1873. Zipper was created to replace the button fly in 1920. And in 1937, hidden rivets rivets were created because the complaint damaging the rear seats, sofas, and saddle horses. In 1960s, rivets are no longer mounted on the back Pockets. Thus, jeans that have hidden rivets details the replica rather than the vintage periods.


Jeans became popular in 1950, and in 1957, reaching sales of 150 million pairs worldwide. 1967, 200 million pairs sold in the United States, 500 million in 1977, and a peak 520 million in 1981. Many experts consider that the severity of jeans sales depend on low prices, however, WW in the 1970s the price of jeans rises to two-fold and sales still exceed supply. But, in the 1980's declining sales.

Now, Levi's to produce jeans in various colors and the designers were competing to produce jeans with a variety of new techniques. Jeans had become one of the most popular fashion item.

Let's talk about it's history.




Mount Tambora (or Tamboro) is an active stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia. Sumbawa is flanked both to the north and south by oceanic crust, and Tambora was formed by the active subduction zone beneath it. This raised Mount Tambora as high as 4,300 m (14,100 ft),magma chamber inside the mountain filled over the course of several decades, volcanic activity reached a historic climax in the super-colossal eruption of April 1815. Making it formerly one of the tallest peaks in the Indonesian archipelago.

The 1815 eruption is rated 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, the only such eruption since the Lake Taupo eruption in about 180 AD. With an estimated ejecta volume of 160 cubic kilometers, Tambora's 1815 outburst was the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. The explosion was heard on Sumatra island (more than 2,000 km (1,200 mi) away). Heavy volcanic ash falls were observed as far away as Borneo, Sulawesi, Java and Maluku islands. Most deaths from the eruption were from starvation and disease, as the eruptive fallout ruined agricultural productivity in the local region. The death toll was at least 71,000 people (the most deadly eruption in recorded history), of whom 11,000–12,000 were killed directly by the eruption. The eruption created global climate anomalies that included the phenomenon known as "volcanic winter": 1816 became known as the "Year Without a Summer" because of the effect on North American and European weather. Agricultural crops failed and livestock died in much of the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in the worst famine of the 19th century. The often-cited figure of 92,000 people killed is believed to be overestimated.

During an excavation in 2004, a team of archaeologists discovered cultural remains buried by the 1815 eruption. They were kept intact beneath the 3 m (9.8 ft) deep pyroclastic deposits. At the site, dubbed the Pompeii of the East, the artifacts were preserved in the positions they had occupied in 1815.
