Who invented jeans during the gold rush?

Jeans were invented during the California Gold Rush by tailor Levi Strauss and his business partner, Jacob Davis. In 1873, they patented the design of durable pants made from denim fabric, reinforced with copper rivets at stress points. This innovation provided miners with tough, practical workwear that could withstand harsh conditions. The popularity of these pants eventually led to the iconic status of jeans in fashion.
