<P> Jeans are a type of trousers , typically made from denim or dungaree cloth . Often the term `` jeans '' refers to a particular style of trousers , called `` blue jeans , '' which were invented by Jacob W. Davis in partnership with Levi Strauss & Co. in 1871 and patented by Jacob W. Davis and Levi Strauss on May 20 , 1873 . Prior to the Levi Strauss patented trousers , the term `` blue jeans '' had been long in use for various garments ( including trousers , overalls , and coats ) , constructed from blue colored denim . Originally designed for cowboys and miners , jeans became popular in the 1950s among teenagers , especially members of the greaser subculture . Jeans were a common fashion item in the 1960s hippie subculture and they continued to be popular in the 1970s and 1980s youth subcultures of punk rock and heavy metal . Historic brands include Levi 's , Lee , and Wrangler . </P>
