If you’re like us, you probably thought they’re there just for the aesthetic.

But, turns out, not only do the small studs serve a purpose, they also have a name.

Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss, the pioneers of the global jean company Levi Strauss & Co, even received a US patent for rivets, which was seen as an “improvement in fastening pocket-openings.”

“By adding metal rivets to work pants, which would be known as blue jeans, they created stronger pants for working men,” the official website revealed.
