No, a Jew did. Levi Strauss.
What is the origin of blue jeans?
In 1860, peddler Levi Strauss (1829-1902) arrived in San Francisco with bales of canvas cloth he intended to use to make tents and wagon coverings. When gold rush prospectors and miners complained that their ordinary trousers wore out too quickly, Strauss contracted with a local tailor to make overalls from the canvas.
