On This Day in History On this day in 1873, San Francisco businessman Levi Strauss and Reno, Nevada, tailor Jacob Davis are given a patent to create work pants reinforced with metal rivets, marking the birth of one of the world’s most famous garments: blue jeans. In San Francisco, Strauss established a wholesale dry goods business under his own name and worked as the West Coast representative of his family’s firm. His new business imported clothing, fabric and other dry goods to sell in the small stores opening all over California and other Western states to supply the rapidly expanding communities of gold miners and other settlers. By 1866, Strauss had moved his company to expanded headquarters and was a well-known businessman and supporter of the Jewish community in San Francisco. Jacob Davis, a tailor in Reno, Nevada, was one of Levi Strauss’ regular customers. In 1872, he wrote a letter to Strauss about his method of making work pants with metal rivets on the stress points–at the corners of the pockets and the base of the button fly–to make them stronger. As Davis didn’t have the money for the necessary paperwork, he suggested that Strauss provide the funds and that the two men get the patent together. Strauss agreed enthusiastically, and the patent for “Improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings”–the innovation that would produce blue jeans as we know them–was granted to both men on May 20, 1873. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history Reply #18182.

I did not watch either the Royal Wedding or the Cup Final. There again, I have neither the interest nor a TV license. Reply #18183. May 20 18, 8:28 AM |

Was at the Scottish Cup Final yesterday. Sadly, we lost but gave the favourites a decent game. Reply #18185. May 20 18, 10:23 AM |

I hope any readers of this post are not easily offended. I have decided to relate a short and dirty story. A white horse fell into a mud puddle. My story not to your tastes? I'll clean it up for you. The horse jumped into a river. Have a great day! Reply #18186. May 20 18, 11:22 AM |

Lahteash, are you using Omniglot.com or something else? I use Omniglot a lot to send my team unusual and different greetings a couple times a week. Reply #18187. May 20 18, 3:56 PM |

Another beautiful little Arts & Crafts bungalow on my street has a date with the wrecking ball next week. The new owners, who are building a monster side-by-side duplex, have given me permission to take the plants out of the garden. Small mercies. Reply #18190. May 21 18, 7:38 AM |

Reading some of the kerfluffle about the new Duchess's family, I thought she'll fit right in with the Windsor family! Reply #18194. May 21 18, 1:44 PM |

Yesterday I had the extreme pleasure of sitting in the periodontist's chair for an hour and a half while undergoing gum surgery. The worst part was when the Novocain wore off but I was still waiting for the pharmacy to fill my painkiller prescription. Reply #18197. May 22 18, 10:39 AM |

I really enjoyed the Royal Wedding coverage on British TV - had friends and family round, we ate, drank and were merry. Reply #18198. May 22 18, 12:42 PM |

Yorkshire, that's cute. Reminds me of this one: There are two rules to success in life. 1) Don't tell everything you know. Reply #18200. May 22 18, 4:05 PM |
