jacob davis

Jacob Davis is a name associated with several distinct figures. The most widely known is Jacob William Davis (1831–1908), a Latvian-born American tailor who co-created the modern blue jean by reinforcing denim pants with rivets and partnering with Levi Strauss. He did not patent the design himself; the patent is commonly credited to Levi Strauss & Co. He later worked for Levi Strauss to coordinate overseas production. This Jacob Davis is the figure most often connected to the invention of jeans. Other individuals named Jacob Davis include a contemporary American country music singer from Louisiana and several artists on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, but they are not the same historical inventor.
