he was doing Strauss got an idea he quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants these
pants were what the miners needed . In one day Strauss sold all the pants he had made.

was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes , a city in France and was
called serge de Nimes .The miners liked this fabric they called it "denim" (from de Nimes) and bought
even more pants from Strauss.
