Denim Trivia

Charles and I enjoyed watching the Travel Channel last night and learned lots about Provence in southern France. Samantha Brown was highlighting sunny cities and towns such as Marseille, Aix, Nimes and Arles.  We found out that "denim" is a derivative of "Coton de Nimes" (cotton from Nimes). Levi Strauss used this special cotton in the jeans he sold back in the 1800's, and the name has stuck.
