助记提示
1. 又被音译为“丹宁布，丁尼布”，俗称牛仔布。是一种较粗厚的色织经面斜纹棉布，专门用来制作牛仔裤，经纱颜色深，一般为靛蓝色，纬纱颜色浅，一般为浅灰或煮练后的本白纱。又称靛蓝劳动布。始于美国西部，放牧人员用以制作衣裤而得名。
2. 牛仔布本来只有蓝色，最初只是用来当帆布用，但现时已有多种不同的颜色，可用来配衬不同的衣饰。
3. 牛仔布的英文名Denim源自法国的Nimes(尼姆市)，所以当地生产的布被称为de Nim，即是“来自Nimes的”。de 在法语中是“of”的意思，所以其意思是“of Nimes”.
在五百多年前，意大利的航海家哥伦布发现了新大陆。当时航海的船只用的帆，是由一种非常坚韧而实用的粗糙布料做成。这种粗糙布料原产于法国一个小镇NIMES，所以就以法文取名 “Serge De Nimes”，而后被人们简称为DENIM。
而在三百六十年后，一位在美国的犹太商人Levi Strausss把一种织料粗糙的帆布引入美国，因而缔造了牛仔裤历史性的一页，同时也建立了一个牛仔文化的神话王国。

英文词源
- denim
- denim: [17] The name of the fabric from which jeans are made had its origins in a sort of serge produced in the southern French town of Nîmes. The French naturally enough called it serge de Nîmes, but the original meaning of this soon became lost when English borrowed it as serge de Nim, and the last two words came to be run together as denim.
- denim (n.)
- 1690s, from French serge de Nîmes "serge from Nîmes," town in southern France. Application to "coarse cotton cloth" is first recorded 1850 in American English. Denims "pants made of denim" recorded from 1868. The place name is Roman Nemausus, said to be ultimately from Gaulish nemo "sanctuary."
