Cowboy is also a type of pants that formerly used by people dedicated to livestock and field tasks. This garment, known in English as jeans , is widely used in cities today .
The jeans, which are made with a fabric called denim or denim , can have different colors (since they are dyed) and fasten with a zipper (closure) or buttons: “Could you iron my black jeans, please? I would like to wear it to dinner tonight " , " The singer took the stage in a jean and a plaid shirt " , " I'm going to change like this I put on shorts : playing football with a cowboy is not recommended . "
The color that jeans are usually associated with is blue, and in fact in English there is the term blue jeans ("blue jeans"), which has been adapted to our language as "bluyín". This style of pants was invented in 1871 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss & Co. , and patented two years later.
Initially, blue jeans were made exclusively for men, mainly for ranchers and miners, although almost a century later they became immensely popular in the city, among teenagers belonging to the subculture known as greasers (the term refers to the fat they used on their hair).
The hippies also adopted this style of pants in the 60s, and soon his popularity spread to the lover of the punk rock and the heavy metal . There is no other garment that has transcended in time like jeans, since today they are still the preference of most Western people in many of their informal activities.
The jeans that we can buy today come in various settings, such as being tapered, slim, fitted, boot cut , straight, shiny, cigarette bottom, anti-fit, narrow bottom, and low waist.
One of the most popular variations of jeans is the "distressed", that is, those that appear to wear out over time, even if it is an article that has not been used before. This fashion brought some alterations to the manufacturing process, to simulate the aging of the fiber.
