The word 'jeans' is derived from the name of which European city, where the tough cotton corduroy was first made?
Tap your pick
The word 'jeans' comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy ('Gênes'), where sailors wore sturdy cotton trousers. Interestingly, while the fabric we call denim actually originated in France, Genoa is where the classic pants design took root. These early Italian trousers were highly prized because they could be worn wet or dry and washed easily in sea nets. Photo: uploaded by Juanmak, Wikimedia Commons, Public domain.
