Blue Jean Day

by Sandy Mitchell on May 20th, 2008

May 20 is Blue Jean Day in the United States. It marks the day in 1873 that Levi Strauss received the first patent for blue denim pants, with seams reinforced with copper rivets. Strauss’ pants were extremely popular with Northern California gold miners and launched the Levi Strauss Company, which still thrives today.
