Fashion 101: Put Your Leg Into It

Question: where did the names 'denim' and 'jean' come from?

Answer: jeans originally came from Genova (get it, jeans... Genova?) and denim originally comes from De Nimes in the south of France.

Hey, you never know when this info will come in handy!

For some reason I seem to remember that there were some really great sailing sales made in De Nimes and that Denim was originally sail material... false?
