The history of overalls

Levi's Jewish blood gave him business experience, so he immediately asked a tailor to make a pair of canvas pants for a "gold digger". This was the world's first pair of overalls, which was called "Levi's overalls" by the workers at the time. Today, this type of overalls has become a global clothing - Levi's.
The news that "Levi's overalls" made of canvas are strong and wear-resistant spread like wildfire. Soon, Levi received a large number of orders for "Levi's overalls". Seeing the endless "gold", Levi decisively gave up the daily necessities store and officially established a company specializing in the production of "Levi's overalls" in 1853, using his own name Levi's as the product brand.
18th century
In the 18th century, children of French nobles liked to wear brightly colored corduroy and silk jumpsuits, which can be regarded as the predecessor of overalls.
In 1856, Levi Strauss asked a tailor to make a pair of blue cloth pants for a "gold digger". This was the world's first overalls, and the workers called it "Levi's overalls" at the time.
In 1891, a special regulation was introduced in the explosive manufacturing industry: factories must provide all workers with overalls and helmets, so this one-piece overalls became popular among the working class from 1891 to 1916. They are generally made of cotton or nylon and are usually matched with shirts and vests.
In 1911, H.D. Lee, the founder of Lee Jeans, was said to have been inspired by the posture of drivers repairing cars and designed overalls that can protect the body from waist to waist. And began to sew this kind of shoulder-hanging overalls for farmers and workers.
Overalls are a comfortable and wonderful garment. It makes people feel that their whole body is wrapped but they are free to move. Nothing can slide out and nothing can get in. It is very safe. In the early 20th century, the United States used overalls as safety clothing for mechanical workers, and many British women also liked to wear overalls during the 1916 war.
During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, Communist fighters used overalls as their uniforms.
20th Century
In the 1930s, overalls became popular in children's clothing. After World War II, many athletes also liked to wear them, and early pilots also wore specially designed overalls.
From the 1960s to the 1970s, overalls began to be used as a fashion element by the fashion industry, and one-piece overalls were accepted by the public as high-end casual wear. Ski overalls were particularly popular at this time.
Workwear was once very popular, especially workwear made of denim fabrics, but also many workwear made of satin and silk, durable outdoor workwear made of Gore-Tex, and colorful street workwear made of corduroy and beaver fabrics. People's enthusiasm for workwear continued until the late 1980s. Although police, military and security guards continued to wear workwear for practical reasons, by 1999 it was difficult to see anyone walking around in workwear on the street.
In recent years, workwear has begun to dominate the catwalk again. One-piece satin workwear often appears at parties and ceremonies. Its fashionability has become more and more prominent, and has overshadowed its original functionality. What fashionable girls are looking for now is tencel thin workwear. The feeling of walking in the wind is really different from the rough cloth workwear with a primitive industrial atmosphere a century ago.
