"Blue jeans are unique because of their attachment to one singular color. One of the earliest precursors to jeans was the dungaree, a thick cotton material created in India in the 16th century. The makers of the fabric choose to use indigo as the dye because it was the most prevalent natural dye of the time, and the dark tone made it a good choice for wear and when frequent washing was not possible."

"The first jeans came in two styles, indigo blue and brown cotton. The brown cotton never became popular because unlike denim, the material never became soft and comfortable after time."

"The shade of blue known as denim is an official Crayola color."

I've heard people say that after a certain age women shouldn't wear blue jeans. Idon't know the age and I don't care 'cause I love my blue jeans. The colour goes with everything.
