the orange thread traditionally used to sew levi strauss blue jeans was ¹ selected to match the ^{2 3}（铆钉） that doubled the ⁴ of the jeans. 

levi strauss, however, neither envisioned this particular use for copper ⁵, which the orange thread ⁶, nor the unique stitching（缝合，针脚） on the rear pockets of the jeans.

jacob davis, a russian immigrant, and a tailor, who ⁷ his trade in reno, nevada, ⁸ the idea for the ⁹ seam, an idea that would vastly extend the life of the jeans, and would revolutionize the garment industry. ¹⁰, due to financial ¹¹, jacob could neither afford to obtain a patent for his invention, nor to produce the new garment.

out of necessity, jacob approached the ¹²（批发商） he purchased his ¹³（斜纹粗棉布） from with a proposal that he sell him the west coast rights to the riveted blue jeans, in exchange for the required to obtain a patent for them. the wholesaler whom accepted jacob's proposition was none other than levi strauss.

levi gave jacob a position with his company in 1873 and, during his ¹⁴, jacob ensured that the orange thread be used in all stitching on the jeans, and that the curved, formally named "arcuate," stitches ¹⁵ the rear pockets of the jeans.

to this day, the copper rivets, matching orange thread, and ornate stitching on the rear pockets still adorn all levis produced. the legend of levi strauss lives on, while jacob davis has been lost in the annals of history.
