***Jeans' History***

This is my speech.→→

I'm going talk about jeans' history. Now, jeans are worn by many people,from the young to the old. Do you know where and when did jeans is made?
According to one view, the word "jeans" comes from "Genoese". Genoese were sailors in port town, Genoa in Italy in the 15th century. And they were wearing the pants, which are made from thick and strong cloth. And then, in the 18th century Levi Strauss, dry goods tradesman, brought denims which were made in Europe into America. He dyed the denims by indigo to avoid insects and rattle snakes. It is the origin of a blue jeans. In 1995, jeans came into fashion among young people all over the world because James Dean wore jeans in the movie "Revel Without a Cause". In these days jeans' image changed from "the labor cloth" to "the style of fashion". In Japan jeans became popular after the Second World War.
Through the centuries jeans, especially Levi's, has established the position as the young people's status symbol. And today, jeans are loved by many people.
