Have you ever wondered why jeans are always sewn with orange threads?

No one is really certain how jeans came about.

but today's topic is not about that but about why jeans is usually sewn with orange threads.

for that, we have to go back to the history books.

it is first known that jeans is actually worn by miners who needed some really tough and durable clothes. But complaints about jeans pockets easily ripped apart when the miners kept their tools in there inspired tailor Jacob Davis. He reinforced the jeans that he made with copper rivets. this idea was then patented by him and Levi Strauss & Comapany.

and to match the copper rivets on the jeans and make it more appealing to the general public, they started sewing up jeans using the orange threads.

it is used to simply match the copper rivets on jeans.

and when the patent for the copper rivets by Levis expired, many other brands and companies followed suit. and thus making this setup for jeans a standard till now.
