Where the term Dungaree originated
|
When we hear the word dungaree we think of Lee Dungaree but that word is far older than some might imagine. Did you know Blue Jeans,
originated in India? It's true! Blue Jeans are one of India's lasting contributions to western life. It 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.
