The story of how two immigrants, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis, came up with the first blue jeans is legend. But where did the fabric itself originate? Apparently, southern France and Italy. In fact, the name "denim" is thought to come from "de Nîmes" ("from Nîmes"), and "jeans" from "Gênes" (the French word for Genoa). Well, since then, the fabric has changed a bit here and there, as the styles of the garments made from it keep up with the times. The latest of those tweaks, also in line with at least some consumers' priorities and concerns, is ~ get this ~ actual compostable jeans! Completely. Except for the metal buttons, which can be unscrewed and reused:
