Levi Strauss left Germany as a young man and came to America. He brought a big roll of canvas with him. He thought he would use the canvas to make tents in America. When he got to America, he found that people were saying that their pants didn't last long. They wore out too fast. So Levi made pants from his canvas instead of making tents.
