Thanks KJD for the great web site with lot
of information!
It is nice to see the
following:
"Did you know Blue Jeans, the hallmark of American fashion, originated in
India? Yes! Blue Jeans, one of Indias lasting contributions to western life,
was the export of a thick cotton cloth known as Dungaree which, in the
sixteenth century was sold near the Dongarii Fort in Bombay. Portuguese and
Genoan sailors used this durable blue broad cloth, dyed with indigo, for their
bellbottom sailing pants."
