Denim/denim, denim and denim actually refer to a kind of cloth. JEAN was named after an Italian tailor, while Denim came from SERGE DE NIMES in French.

When it comes to the origin of cowboy clothing, it is natural to talk about the origin of cowboy. Denim, or denim in English. It is said that the origin of this name is somewhat wrong. Five hundred years ago, when Columbus discovered the New World, this tough and practical coarse cloth appeared, which was mainly used to make sails.

Because this kind of cloth originated in the small French town of Nimes, it was named "Nimes serge" in French. When this kind of twill serge cloth was first introduced to Britain, it was difficult for British businessmen to pronounce the French word "Serge De Nimes", so it was called denim for short, or denim, and sometimes it was transliterated as tannin.

Whether this origin is true or not, and whether the cowboys at that time are cowboys at this time are difficult to prove now. But one thing should be certain. In Europe in the16th and 7th centuries, twill fabrics have already appeared. Modern denim is a twill fabric.
