Historical Insights:
The Recco Jeans are named in honor of Nicoloso da Recco, a renowned 14th-century Italian navigator from Genoa. In 1341, Recco embarked on an expedition to the Canary Islands on behalf of King Afonso IV of Portugal. He is credited with providing the first reliable account of the language used by the aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands, the Guanches. His detailed notes included information on their language, clothing, food habits, and societal hierarchy.
Nicoloso da Recco's legacy is commemorated through ships, schools, and streets named after him, and now, a pair of jeans. The arcuates on the back pockets of the Recco Jeans pay homage to the many waves he encountered during his adventures, symbolizing his journey and the spirit of exploration.
