WORN IN THE USA

Levi Strauss could not think that he would make a new fashion when he started his

business career

In 1853 he arrived in California from New York He intended to sell strong canvas (pieces

of cloth) to miners to make tents However, Levi Strauss found that the miners needed

hard wearing pants So he took his canvas to a local tailor and asked him to make several

pairs of pants Miners used to put gold ore into their pockets, so Levi decided to make

each pocket stronger with cooper rivets They were a great success because the miners

loved them When Levi ran out of canvas, his brothers sent him a new fabric called denim

Denim was a soft, durable fabric, which was more comfortable and easier to wear than

canvas

Jeans were important to the people of the nineteenth century, especially farmers,

cowhands, railroad workers, and miners This was because they were so strong and didn’t

wear out easily So people who didn’t make a lot of money didn’t have to continually buy

new pants

But only until mid 20th century did the teenagers turn jeans into fashionable wear Jeans

were considered sexy, dangerous and worn by romantic cowboys and Hollywoi And so,

the workwear for miners of the last century has become a fashion phenomen<

Which of the following can be the main idea of the passage? How miners'

workwear were made

How US people got to wear denims

How work clothes became

It was popular with tailors

It was used to make tents
