At first he lived in New York， 3in 1853 he moved to San Francisco, where he worked with his brother. They worked in ashop selling clothes to men who were working for gold in the California Gold Rush. The men were working very 4in difficult conditions, and they needed very strong trousers. Strauss was the first man to begin producing special, strong trousers for working men. He made these trousers from atough fabric( 结实的织物) called “denim”(牛仔布) probably from atown 5Nimes in France. Many people now think the English word “denim” 6from the French words “de Nimes”， which means “from Nimes”. Later, Strauss added special metal buttons to the trousers to make them even better and they immediately became very popular.
