牛仔裤虽然是在旧金山发明的,但牛仔布其实是法国发明的,它的原产地叫做尼姆 Nimes
牛仔布也正是因为这个原因才被称作“丹宁布” denim
这个词原本是 de Nimes,这是法语,相当于英语中说 of Nimes,也就是“尼姆的”。
李维斯最早创造牛仔裤的时候用的其实是帆布,但矿工们觉得它太硬,后来就改用了牛仔布。
Levi Strauss had the canvas made into waist overalls. Miners liked the pants, but complained that they tended to chafe. Levi Strauss substituted a twilled cotton cloth from France called "sergé de Nimes." The fabric later became known as denim and the pants were nicknamed blue jeans.
李维•施特劳斯用帆布制成了高腰工作裤。矿工们喜欢这种裤子,但抱怨这种裤子容易把皮肤擦伤。李维·施特劳斯于是用一种被称为“尼姆斜纹布”的法国斜纹棉布代替了帆布。这种布料后来被称为粗斜纹布,这种裤子则被称为蓝色牛仔裤。
