But not everyone knows what it means

That made trousers, not gowns
From cotton produced "serge de Nîmes"

The cotton, Denim was originally produced in the industrial city in
France, Nîmes. The material was 'de Nîmes' meaning 'of Nîmes'. The
material was tailored into pants in the Italian city Genoa, which is
'Gênes' in French, hence 'denim jeans' from 'de Nîmes' and 'Gênes'.
