ibutes greatly to the popularity of blue. Blue jeans are made of a material called Denims, which is the reduction of de Nimes (from Nimes, which is a town in France). Mister Levi Stauss came in France and found this very resistant material (it was used for boating) and decided to make pans out of it.
