Even though Capt. Brittle says he was a boy in blue jeans when he joined the army back in 1836, jeans were not invented by Levi Strauss until 1871.
Capt. Brittle likely meant that he was wearing trousers in 1836 made of "jean" or "jeans" material, a wool-cotton blend (not denim) that was very common around the mid-1800s. This "jeans" material was hard-wearing and long-lasting, ideal for farmers and working men. If the woolen threads had been dyed blue the resulting material would be "blue jeans," and this reference can be found in period writings, considerably predating Levi Strauss's invention.
