Jumpsuit without a top

Livay Strass, "Father of Blue Jeans", never called his brainchild so. The jumpsuit without the top is what the immigrant from Bavaria came up with, where the position of Jews was even harder than in other countries of Europe at the beginning of the 19th century. However, he was not invented by trousers with copper rivets, but by Jacob Davis, an immigrant from Riga. But Liva was lucky: Davis proposed to patent the invention together with the company Stross, because he had a reputation in California not only a successful entrepreneur, but also an honest person.
