instead of cheap, uncomfortable,
all-too-permeable,
all too clingy
de Nîmes jeans
we would now all be wearing tutus.
'Jeans' is an anglicisation of Gênes, French for Genoa,
whose sailors wore trousers made from the coarse cotton material
produced in the southern French city of Nîmes (hence 'denim').
Denim originated in Indian fishing communities around Bombay (Mumbai) and was the fabric used for Dungarees.
