词汇 levi-s
词源
Levi’s. The word Levi’s has become more popular in the east- ern United States recently as a synonym for jeans, denims, or dungarees—probably due to the bright-colored styles that Levi Strauss and Company are manufacturing today. The trade- marked name has been around since the gold rush days, though, when a pioneer San Francisco overall manufacturer began making them. Levi Strauss reinforced his heavy blue denims with copper rivets at strain points such as the corners of pockets, this innovation making his product especially valu- able to miners, who often loaded their pockets with ore samples. Within a few years the pants were widely known throughout the West, where the name Levi’s has always been more com- mon than any other for tight-fitting, heavy blue denims.
