Although American blue jeans were invented in the Wild West, it took a tailor from Riga to invent a way to keep them together. In 1854 Jacob Davis left Riga for Reno, Nevada, where he opened a tailor shop. When asked to strengthen a pair of canvas overalls, Davis used small copper rivets to fasten the harnesses. The sturdy work pants became the first riveted jeans. In 1873, Davis patented his invention together with a merchant, who supplied him with the canvas–type material: Levi Strauss.
